Love Challenge Update!

Okay...this has to be the best challenge I've had in recent months!  I am having so much fun creating things, coming up with ideas and then pulling them off!

Day 2-a fabric rose with wire was attached to his gear shift in his car with a note that said "have a perfectly rosy day" (it's still there)

Day 3-I wrote a message on the bathroom mirror -this was a little more difficult to pull off on a weekday...next time I will choose this for a weekend when he sleeps in!

Day 4-we were on a trip out of town...so that was my love note for Saturday.....and he played golf with my brother

Day 5-we made snacks and watched the Super Bowl together...

Day 6-had a surprise to sneak into his car....but he got up early! So I sent him a text later in the day...with a simple I love you!

Day 7-I managed to get the 'gift' from Monday into the car!  It was a framed print out of my 25th wedding anniversary vows to him...He loved it!  We are happily celebrating 27 years!

Day 8-again, missed the opportunity to sneak in his gift....:( 

Today---Day 9-he got day 8's gift!!! It is Brita water bottle with the scripture 'He who refreshes others will be refreshed'..Proverbs 11:25b...signed Be refreshed..love you!


So I have a few days left...and the plans and ideas are bigger than ever!

If you are doing this challenge I would love to hear what you are doing!

Blessings!

February is all about LOVE

I started the Love Challenge this morning...got this great idea from

the Leading and Loving It Blog post written by my friend and Pastor's wife, Tiffany. 

Are you looking for a fun way to say I love you to someone in your life?

I am using these great ideas to let my husband know he is número uno in my life. 

I started this morning by putting gel clings on his speedometer glass that spelled

out I LOVE YOU and added hearts to his rear view mirror! 

  

There are more fun things planned..... 

I will post all the fun ideas after the 14th!

Blessings!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! 

What an awesome year 2011 was for me/us. There are so many things I could share, but ultimately it was a year of learning to have faith in God.  No more giving him the authority, but taking the lead!  I truly had to give him total control...hard to do for a control freak, but I did it.  That is what faith is for me, letting go and watching God do what he promised he would do.  And He did! He was our provider, our strength and our peace. When our hearts were aching, He was our comfort. I believe I leaned on Him during this last year more than I have ever had to before. (that's called growth)  As I begin 2012 I will have that same faith and trust and believe that he who began this good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)

My goal for this year to continue to grow into the women He purposed and planned for me.  He has great plans for me and I can't wait!

Praying you have a blessed New Year!

Blessings!

Thankfulness to the extreme

As you can tell I didn't maintain my daily thanks blog, but it doesn't mean I wasn't thankful!  It means I was out of town and didn't take my laptop....so I couldn't blog!  Keith and I were able to take a trip to New York to visit some friends and then to New Hampshire and spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family.  To say I was thankful doesn't even touch the way I feel.  It was a blessing to get away, relax, see some awesome sights and spend extreme time with everyone.  We really had an amazing time!  I was especially happy to see our friends new baby...he is so cute.  We had a ton of fun with them...walked the streets of NY until I thought we had walked the whole state.  Ate some amazing food and shopped for some great gifts for the kiddos...big and little.  After our visit with them we took the train to Boston and spent the day there with my sister and her husband.  We ate fish and chips at a 'quaint' little pub in downtown Boston...on a cobblestone street....wonderful! They live in NH so it was a short trip home after our day out.  I can't put into words how much I love spending time with my sister...she lives too far away!  We can have a ton of fun together...it never gets old laughing with her.  Her daughters were happy that Uncle Keith finally came for a visit and he was happy to see them.  It had only been a few years since he had seen Ami`, but 11 years since he had seen Caiti, she is all grown up now.  We also got to meet their boyfriends...both are very cute...one is a hugger, the other isn't...the hugger got extra brownie points for the great good-bye hug he gave me when we left. 

The trip home was uneventful....except that we sat in the seats in front of the exit row on our first flight and after take off realized our seats wouldn't recline....4 hours of sitting straight up....not good. 

We are happy to be back in our house...ready to see our Peoples Church family tomorrow. 

I am thankful to the extreme for good friends and my over-the-top-awesome-love-her-so-much sister and her top of the line family. 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has a ton to be thankful for!

Blessings!

Giving Thanks!

Today I am thankful for my 5 year granddaughter

and what she took for her show and tell.

She took her Bible!

Makes my heart smile real big!
