WHEW!!

ok...THAT was a week...potty training Mia (NUFF SAID RIGHT?), party for who knows how many, husband doing 5 truckloads of mulch at night, tball, regular business, and trying to act like nothing out of the ordinary was going on...oh like repair people all week (refridgerator, handymen, and possible sprinkler people), tornados, and you know the drill- what is for dinner?

well, the party went better than great...35 invites went out for the wedding shower for jay and soon to be jennifer savage...that means possibly 70 people....but does that mean that you make enough banana pudding to feed 50? 35? well paula dean and i paired up for a double recipee that ended up being great..."not yo mama's banana pudding" from foodnetwork.com was the sure bet. so it turned out that the weather was fine, no one call pollen on their hiney because we forgot to wipe off the porch furniture, there WAS toilet paper in the bathroom and what's better is that when we ran out there was MORE, lots more...hmmm maybe it wasn't such a bad week after all...



since the last post things are blooming here and we are enjoying putting in tons of new plants and just enjoying watching the landscape come in for the first time really. when we moved in it was the end of october and everything was pretty much finished doing anything because of the drought and now with the rain we have gotten everything is beautiful...i will post pictures tomorrow...i never thought i would enjoy the gardening as much as we do but it gives chad and i something that is so much fun to do outside together...we both enjoy watching everything grow! We transplanted tons of things from my mom and dad's yard and all is doing well...so much fun!



the business is doing well and shipping often...i think we shipped over 400 packages this month alone...i definately got an email when that charge hit my credit card....fall designing is well on it's way and almost all is squared away. i just need to order buttons and get the pattern situation worked out...so much fun!! appliques are all drawn and are being put into the computer this week and forward...



God has been so good...what a huge thought to wrap your mind around that God cares about all of the things above that i mentioned that have little to no eternal value...



FATHER, ALMIGHTY GOD, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE cares about me and whether or not i am discouraged...he cares that i meet with him daily, read his word...yet mighty and holy and he certainly doesn't need me to do anything that is in his eternal plan- but yet he chooses to include me and use me...how humbling it is to be absolutely unworthy of his love and committment to whoo me daily...i feel the holy spirit tug at my heart EVERY morning...choose me, spend time with me, sit down and talk with me....I AM THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS - WORSHIP ME THE HOLY GOD OF THE UNIVERSE....how do we ever go a day without stopping to worship....the repent...the rest in the mercy and faithfulness of God....again i plead with you friends and relatives....love with all of your heart the God who made you...nothing else matters...
my father in heaven is my delight and my reward...have you chosen him? do you serve only him? is he the love of your life? where will you spend eternity?
until later...blessings!!
