Lord Send A Revival...And Let It Begin In Me!

It is revival time and I can't wait! It starts Sunday (Easter! How great is that?!) and will run until Wednesday. I can't wait to see the amazing things that I KNOW are sure to happen. It starts at 7:oo for any of you that can come. I would LOVE to see you there! I don't really have much to post, I just wanted to blog tonight because I don't know that I will have another chance until the middle of next week. We have to go to both of Ross' grandmothers and mine as well so it is going to be a busy weekend, and then comes revival. I hope that everyone has a very Happy Easter!

Ideas....

I like these colors. Maybe not quite as much green.

This was the original plan for the bridesmaids. Something close, anyway.

I really like these colors!

But, then again I like these too.

What do you think?!

This Is What Saturdays Are Supposed To Be Like...

Today has been a great day!! (Even though I had to get up at 6:00!) I started this BEAUTIFUL day by going all the way to Hazel Green with my mom and grandmother to watch my little cousin play soccer. What fun! We had a blast. It is so hilarious watching a bunch of six year olds fighting over a soccer ball. I laughed so hard! Riley did great! She got best defensive player. Yay, Riley!! The weather was perfect. The game started at nine and it was just right. Not to hot, and not to cold. We left there and went to a thrift store. (Where I bought an awesome dress AND shoes to match for $6.58!). This was followed up with a few yard sales and lunch. Nothing like spending time with Mawmaw. We got home around one and I went straight in the house to change into my "yard working clothes". Mom and I worked outside for a couple of hours and I actually got blistered! Not that it takes much these days. I LOVE spring. Even if my nose is constantly stopped up AND running, I'm sneezing my head off, and I'm hoarse for a couple of months. Oh well, the weather is amazing and I love to see all of the flowers and tress blooming! It's too bad that I am going to have to get my winter clothes back out on Tuesday. It is going to be freezing! After working outside I came in and fixed a quick dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, practiced a few songs with Mom for church tomorrow, took a bubble bath, played a little Sudoku(while in the tub!), and now I am getting to blog. This is what Saturdays are supposed to be like! It also means that tomorrow is Sunday! Like I mentioned yesterday I missed church on Wednesday night and I can't wait for tomorrow! I miss my church family, the singing, the preaching, watching the Holy Spirit move from one pew to the next, I miss it all!! I hope that you are all as excited as I am!

So, I have been thinking about the wedding a lot today. I am really torn. I know for sure that I want the theme to be black and white (champagne). I am really considering wearing a champagne colored dress instead of white, just because I think that it is more elegant. Originally I had planned on the bridesmaids carrying calla lillies (off white) and my bouquet being RED. Roses probably but not a definite. So here is my dilemma. I am now wondering if I want to add some color in there and have the bridesmaids have a "colorful" bouquet. The question is....what color(s)? I have no idea! I have thought about pink. Not bright pink, and not baby pink. Something in between. More like an "antique" pink mixed with something ivory/cream colored. Does this make any sense? I just don't want it to be too loud or too busy. My goal is for it to be simple and elegant. However, it is going to be in May. I'm so confused! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Maybe I will post some pictures on here and you all can help me decide. Hmm... that is what I am going to do! Let me know what you think!

We Made It....

Well, today is Friday. We made it through the week! Miranda comes home tomorrow and everybody is so excited!I know that she is so ready to see her babies! Layla asked me on Wednesday, "Now when is my Momma coming home from 'Guatalamala'?" Haha. Close enough. Tuesday was a long day. It was coming a heck of a storm when I got up so I had to get three kids out into the pouring rain to take Logan to school. It was so nasty outside. Lawson screamed all the way to school and all the way back home. He spent more time crying than he did not crying that day. He was running a fever and he was just miserable. He was up and down all night. The rest of the week was much better however. We made it with no catastrophes. (Other than Logan "accidentally" jabbing Layla with a thumb tack.) On Wednesday Layla, Lawson and I went to Jacksonville to visit some old friends. It brought back such happy memories! Oh how I miss that place. I suppose it is sort of bitter sweet because Brian and I really dealt with a lot while living there (my parents getting divorced, Brian's dad passing away, etc...) but we also had SO much fun. We had NO IDEA how good we had it!! We often joke about how fun it would be to just go back for one week. We both know that it would never be the some though. We went to Struts where Layla and I shared some bacon cheese fries that were SO good. I found myself just driving around letting all of the old memories just flood back to me but then I realized that I probably wouldn't move back even if I had the chance. So much has changed. Not that I could ever get Ross out of Rodentown!! Ha.
Today was a good day. Ross and I got out just to "loafer" (as my Dad would say). We were driving by the outlets and I noticed that they had a new Catalog Closeout store and I talked Ross into stopping. I was SO glad that we did. I have been looking for disposable cameras and they are so expensive! Ok, so $6.oo isn't expensive but when you are looking to buy a bunch of them it really adds up. I want several of them to put on the tables at our wedding reception so that all the guests can take pictures. Then the guests just leave them on the tables and you take them and get them developed. How fun! So, I found Kodak disposable cameras for $1.00 each today!!! How exciting! I only bought ten but I think that I am going to go back and pick up some more. I am going with my grandmother in the morning to Hazel Green to my little cousins soccer game so I am thinking about using one of the cameras and getting it developed to make sure that it works. If so, I will definitely pick up several more. We goofed off until around four and then we had to go home so that Ross could get ready to go to work. Overall it has been a pretty good week, however THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME! I can't wait to crawl into my own bed! I hope that everyone has had a great week. I can't wait for Sunday. I didn't get to go to my church on Wednesday night and oh how I missed it. My soul is hungry, and it can't get here fast enough!!!
