Wow!!

So Yesterday Dave had the night off and we decided we were going to have a night out together. I always enjoy those. We went to Olive garden for dinner and had the all you can eat soup, Salad & bread sticks. Yum!!! then to Target to get some things and then we went to Walmart because I was certain that they might have a better selection of Halloween lights. I love Halloween not the scary parts leave the severed stuff out I'm all about the cute and fun side. Let me just say we had said lets see a movie if there is anything we might like to see, Well I had been hearing all this good stuff about Fireproof. It was a truly awesome movie it had me crying a lot and thinking about our marriage we have a good one but it can always be better there is always room for improvement. It's surprising how much we take advantage of those we love and how rarely we stop to do something kind for them in return. Or just do something kind with out any other motives. If you are married I suggest you see this and if not it still a great movie to see to help you react to the world around you in a more caring way. See it, it will change the way you look at love and those around you.

Tatted Butterfly

Today I took on lesson # 3 in the learn to tat book and DVD. Lesson 3 actually makes you make something that looks like something! Yeah a butterfly to be exact. I am quite proud of myself for completing this project no matter how small. Besides there is allot of beauty in the small things if we just stop and take the time
to Look.

Learning to Tat!

So About a Week and a half ago I stumbled across a lady's blog through CWO She had this beautiful hand made work that she does Called Tatting. It looked like so much fun so I contacted her and asked her if she could recommend a book for beginners. She recommended The book learn to tat witch I bought on eBay and it comes with a DVD that is really good. So a few days ago after getting the rest of my supplies I sat down and started to learn and it is quite fun! I think the past few days I have even tatted in my Dreams. Above is my first work on rings and picot's. So far it has been rewarding to see that I am actually understanding it all and that I am having fun learning something new.

Tatting Tatting is a technique for handcrafting lace that can be documented approximately to the early 19th century.

What a wonderful Day for a Baptism!

So today @ 2 pm my Brother in law Josh is getting Baptized. Since My mom has been gone I have seen a Great Change in Stephanie & Josh. God definitely has his way of bringing us to him. And trough all the pain we have been trough the past few months. Something positive is coming out of it. He has blessed my family in a super big way. By allowing us to be part of his eternal kingdom and allowing us the small glimmer of hope that we will see our family's again. Knowing that what josh is doing he has already done in his heart this is just an outer expression of what the Lord is doing on the inside. I will bring my camera so pictures will follow! I hope that this does not sound crazy but I used to be afraid to die. Actually until just recently but that has all changed now. See I know that my Mom is waiting on the other side and that gives me comfort to know that she will be waiting.

Here are the Pictures I promised!!!

it's been 3 months today

I don't know what makes me keep counting the days maybe I have some strange belief that she will come back the more I miss her.
