Yes its cold....

But I just look at it as an opportunity to wear all my winter boots one more time!

I have a great love for the church and....

for church pews.

And maybe the two go hand and hand. I grew up sitting on straight back pews that were a light colored wood. They had red cushions to sit on and with the green stain-glass windows, it always reminded me of Christmas.
In those pew I learned...
how to read shape notes (ok I tried),
to give graciously,
to love unconditionally,
and how to write notes and not get caught.
I saw....
my grandparents hold hands,
men cry with emotion,
my brother being baptized,
and my nephew lead "Jesus Loves Me".

They tell stories. They hold memories. They warm my heart.

I search craigslist once a week just to see what pews are for sale...... someday.... someday!

Face Time

Doesn't get much cuter than fish kisses through an i-phone.

I blurred my face out.... no one needed to see that. Only children look cute on face time.

Marathon Saturday!

Look at all the options to entertain me this Saturday....

1. Mr. Big Marathon on E!

2. Gibbs & Tony Marathon on USA-Characters Welcome

3. The adorably cute Harry Potter at age 2 on ABC Family (even though we all know, they aren't really a family station)

Ohhh and I made this to go with my marathon Saturday....

Hope you enjoy your Saturday!

7 Days of straight blogging....

You think it can't be done.... Well, you don't have a practically empty phase, every evening free for the next week (gasp), and most of your closest friends out of town. My mind is beautifully calm and there is nothing pressing on the horizon.... I will take the uncommon calm in my life and share with you how I waste time.

Today I will spend it.... READING.

I got these three magazines in the mail this week... Thank you!

Mary Janes Farms is my new favorite magazine.... Sorry for the small cleavage! 

And I found these at the 2nd hand bookstore..... The American doll books are for when my niece comes to stay.... I may crack one just to feel  a little nostalgic.

I will read Much Ado About Nothing for this line.....

"And there was a start dance, and under that I was born"

I love that line.
In high school this beautifully talented girl, named Jennifer, played Beatrice and she had the most graceful delivery of this line.

I was also borrowed the Bush memoirs.

Let the quietness begin.
