There are so many things that make me smile!
I was driving home the other day after dropping Dayv off and letting the tears flow, I noticed all the wonderful trees, plants, and flowers that were in bloom. It made me smile, especially the tulips. They are one of my favorite and remind me of living in England. So instead of crying hard on Tuesday, I turned that around and smiled the whole way home marveling at God's handy work. Simply amazing. And then I got the biggest smile as I pulled up to our house. Ah.. Those lovely trees! It made my day, even though it was a hard one..
And these also made me smile! I created 9.5 hrs. awhile ago and was keeping it so that I could do the other assignment for AC.
I love, love, love these photos of my gram. They are truly my favorite! She didn't expect me to take any of her though. In fact, she wasn't overly pleased to have photos taken from her bed in her night clothes, but I am really glad I did and didn't listen to her. She has the sweetest smile!
This one is of our trip to Disney. It took us that long to get there, but it was totally worth it. I just wanted to document this trip in ever aspect!I can hardly say it enough, but I love American Crafts a lot!
What do you love a lot?
Grateful this week for:
1. The fact that Dayv didn't want to go. He fought going hard this time around. And it isn't that he likes going or ever has, but this time was different. I knew he didn't want to go. I knew he was upset. And while this doesn't seem like something to be grateful for, I am because I know how much he truly loves us and being here with us.
2. Prayers from friends far and wide.
3. Our yard. Because every time I drive up to it, I see God's handy work.
4. My job. Because I know the Lord isn't finished with me there yet.
5. Crying. Because after I cry, I truly feel that much better.
6. A dinner date with Nicole. She had no clue, but its exactly what I needed. I enjoy her company a lot!
7. Nice weather to walk the dogs.
8. Homemade pizza.
9. Talking to D on the phone.
10. Friends that make me smile and lift me up and eat my newly created food! :)
Today in our household we are running some errands and working in the yard! I love working in the yard, a lot!
Happy weekend!
