Goal # 15, Achieved!


Goal number 15 has been achieved on April 7, 2012! After much hunting for that perfect bunny for my son's birthday, I continue to be in awe of how this all went down. I am not a fan of craigs list, but kept my eye on it anyway. None of the pet stores carried dwarf size bunnies and most of them didn't even know if they were to receive any by the time I needed one. I gave craigs list one last look. I came across an ad that read, "Show Rabbit". First I thought, well I want a baby...but, I clicked the ad anyway. The price caught my eye as it was in my price range. The picture of this sweet "show rabbit" was gorgeous! The ad suggested that I text for more info. Again, that was kind of scary...so I'm texting for more information. lol! Asked all the necessary questions and set a time to meet the lil' girl bunny named, "Velvetine". I arrive at the bunny owners home. I walk in, and there is one my daughters' closest friends! I immediately look at him and, shout out, "I know you! lol! You're Tyeler, Alexis's friend!" He smiles and shouts back, "you're Alexis's mom!" lol I am already feeling a little more at ease, sigh. I meet his mom, Casie. A sweet woman, so glad that we met!
So I'm holding Velvetine and she is just the sweetest lil' creature! And oh my goodness is she the softest animal I have ever felt!! I knew, this was right. Mama's gut had spoken. hee hee.
Through the hunt for that special bunny for Alec, God had connected two families. Casie and I plan to get together for lunch in the near future, the start of a new friendship, in which I'm very excited about! My heart and mind had been comforted with buying a pet off of craigs list. Thank You God!
I sneak her into the house through the garage by the help of Tyeler and my husband Jace. We couldn't give Velvetine to Alec just yet. We planned to surprise that night by him walking into his bedroom with her hopping around.

By the looks of it, my sweet lil' man was in shock! He asked, "is this for me? Is that bunny mine?" lol Such a sweet moment. Needless to say, Alec is loving being in his bedroom! It's all I can do to have him come to the table and eat with us! LOL

Watching him interact with her has been such a personal joy for me. He is completely in love and enjoys her company.
Happy Birthday Alec! Mommy & Daddy love you oh so much! Muah!

DIY Family Sign

So I had an old ugly pallet on the side of my house…I saw some really nice signs on Pinterest but did not want to fork out as much as suggested. So my creative juices began to flood my head. So much that in the middle of the night I would wake up and have to write my ideas down so I wouldn’t forget them! Lol!! My husband and I pulled all the nails out of the pallet. I began sanding the pieces I thought would look nice after being stained. I utilized pieces that had old nail holes to give it that rustic worn look. After sanding I chose the stain that I had pictured in my head…I put only one coat of stain on as I was going for a not perfect or new piece of art. After this dried I used T shaped brackets to connect the three pieces of wood. I utilize free fonts all the time!! In my Power Point Program I create the type size and font styles, print them on card stock paper and then cut them out like a stencil. I then positioned everything where I wanted it and bega...

The Key to a Woman's Heart...

The key to a woman's heart is when He studies her; He hears her when she’s silent; He anticipates her needs and fulfills them joyfully; He embraces her with all his being, yet gives her free reign to be herself; He provides for her needs because it’s a priority in His life; He loves her because he knows, no other way; He accepts her flaws because that’s what keeps her unique; He gazes upon her and smiles because He knows He’s blessed by her presence…jus some morning thoughts.

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK SAY ABOUT YOU?

mask - concealing thing: something that conceals or disguises something else, for example, true motives or feelings Masks are things that we wear sometimes to hide from other people, and sometimes to hide from ourselves. Sometimes we wear so many masks that when we take one off, there is another one right behind it. Often times, we have so many different masks, that we don't really know who we are so we become that which we wear. We hide behind these masks…when asked a question from a friend or family member; do you answer with the real you? Or are you answering through the mask? Do you ask yourself, “how should I answer this question so that they don’t feel differently towards me?” Sadly we feel the need to impress others, so we are afraid to be ourselves in front of people. We short-change ourselves into thinking we need these masks to be accepted and loved. Is your mask still present when you approach God? God already knows us and he requests for us to be real with him. God ...
