Celebrating 4 years!

It is hard to believe 4 years have past, but they have!  I am so blessed to be married  to the perfect mate for me.  God sure knew what he was doing~ why we chose the song, "When God Made You" by Newsong to be sung at our wedding.  Truly the perfect song!

14 Months and a Little Silly!


Where did my baby go?  Faith is definately transitioning out of babyhood and into toddlerhood.  As much fun as I am having now with her, I sniff sniff a little to think she is not a baby anymore. 


We are starting to see a silly side of Faith.  She is loving to giggle and when she rounds a corner and we say, "boo" she giggles and toddles off as fast as she can go giggling all the way.  It is pure bliss!

Faith has noticed Gemma bear more and more.  She loves carrying the bear around and as much as it touches my heart, I just had to put it away for now.   Somedays it just makes me too sad to see that bear and the reminder of my mom.  Plus, Faith discovered the button eyes and was pulling on them.  So, now the bear is sitting in Faith's room watching out for her. :)

Hannah will be an orphan no more!

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you will remember my connection with Hannah from New Day Foster Home in China.  You can read my first post on her here.  I was going to blog about her again on Saturday, because of this post from New Day.but the weekend just flew by and then before I could even get a post ready to go, some amazing news was announced via FB.  Hannah is matched with a family!!  I was just in tears with thankfulness that this child has a forever Mom and Dad. Hannah lived with a severe heart defect prior to going to New Day, who sadly was abandoned by her family because they could not care for her and her heart needs.  I mean sit on that for a minute....the only choice Hannah's family had in China was to abandon her in hopes that her life would be saved.  That is amazing love even though it is completely heartbreaking and not how it should be.  I mean look at how far Hannah has come!  What a true miracle!

A Day of Pampering

I am linking up again for Gussy Sews Linky Party.  This week's prompt is Pamper Yourself.  Sure I can do that or at least dream about it!

First, lets start with my new favorite breakfast!  Go check out Katie at Dashing Dish or find her on FB.  I love her "Milkshakes."  They truly are awesome.  My favorite one is the peanut butter chocolate.  Yummm!  Oh, and you have to have a Tervis cup.  I LOVE this cup.  It keeps things cold almost forever with no sweat (or keeps things hot for your favorite hot drink, too).


And, what afternoon wouldn't be complete without a Sonic drink during happy hour.  Half price is nice. :) 
(no I don't own this sign, but it would be sweet)

I find it slightly crazy to see young girls getting pedicures.  I didn't get my first pedi until practically my wedding day.  And, I have been in love ever since!

Oh, and foot massages how I love you!  Hubby (I know you are reading this) thanks for all the great foot massages. :)

And, lets just round out this fabulous pampering post with a trip to Hawaii.  Love!

What do you like to do to pamper yourself?
