going crazy! So much to do and the feeling of no time to do it in...ever felt that way? Luke's small birthday party is Saturday and the cake just got ordered today! It has really crept up on me. I knew that it was coming, had all of it planned...and then Tuesday afternoon my mom asks "so what kind of cake did you order?" Aw, crud! I forgot about the cake! Really?! How did I manage that? Oh, that's right...life happened! So Jeff and I went out to dinner and cake shopping. (On a side note the best Mexican restaraunt is Casa Maria on Main Street...AMAZING!!!) Back to the cake...we didn't really see anything that fit the "jungle animal" stuff that we had gotten...so back to square one on the cake situation. Anyways...a trip to WInn Dixie and a trip to Walmart sent us back to Publix. Luke will be having a "pull apart" (cupcakes) Monkey cake! It's the only thing that came closest to what we were looking for. Anyways...pictures will follow.
Love ya!

Rose and Mitchell
Jeff and I experienced a great blessing today. We spent the afternoon with one of my absolute best friends and her husband - to- be. We were asked to do their engagement pictures for them and then our awesome friends from Chris Reinolds Photography will be doing their wedding photos in September. (Keep your eye out for me...I'm a bridesmaid!) We have so many more pictures coming but I just couldn't help myself and had to post a couple! :-)

Honesty Scrap (Thanks Amy!)
Honest Scrap
Thanks Amy!
The rules of the award:
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap." Well, there's no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.
The honest things about me:
1. I constantly worry about what others think of me. I know that I shouldn't, but I do.
2. If you don't like me, I tend to want to know why. Not to get angry with you over it, but to improve myself.
3. I honestly don't know if I want to teach for the rest of my working life. I would like to go back to school but don't have the time, energy or finances for it.
4. I have A LOT of jobs: wife, mama, daughter, sister, teacher, at home sales rep, photographer and last but certainly not least are these two, which I consider to be major, Christian and minister's wife.
5. I cannot stop worrying about my mom since my dad passed. I feel like that's where the job of daughter comes in and is never ending.
6. Sometimes being a minister's wife is incredibly difficult but I would never change it. You never know what each day will hold on a normal basis, but multiply that times 100 and you have the life of a minister's wife.
7. I constantly put myself down (and Jeff hates it) and if you have ever met me, you know that I do...I am working on it though.
8. I knew at the age of 14 that I was going to be a minister's wife.
9. I'm beginning to feel very old. Luke will be 1 in a matter or a week and two days, kids who were just born when I started in the youth department at 14 are now IN the youth department under Jeff's guidance.
10. I wish that I had never made a comment the night daddy passed away...after hearing that he'd had a bad day I told God that I was not praying for another miracle because He wasn't going to heal him...and I will live with that guilt forever. (I know that it was God's time to take him, but it still hurts)

11. (I'm doing 11!) My family is the most important thing in my life. You mess with them, you mess with me! Especially now that I am a mama.

A Big Step
Jeff and I are about to do something pretty big...well in our eyes anyways. We had started a little photography business over a year ago and haven't had the time to really commit to it. We've been able to do that a little bit more now that Luke is bigger. Well...we just booked our first wedding! We'll be doing our first wedding shoot in April. I work with a wedding planner/decorator and this kind of fell in our lap. We are super excited and just wanted to share it!
Love ya!
Love ya!

Happy Birthday...
To my daddy. Today is daddy's 53rd birthday and the first birthday since his passing in October. It's been 12 weeks since daddy went home to be with Jesus. I think we all miss him more today than yesterday. Momma, my brother and his wife, Jeff, Luke and myself are all going out to dinner tonight in celebration of the life daddy lived.
Winter Rush was an awesome experience and I'll write about that later!
Love ya!

Winter Rush 09: The start...
Today began our first day of Winter Rush. We're in the freezing cold part of South Carolina, Myrtle Beach...on the beach but will probably not make it out onto the beach this year...
Jeff has been putting together this retreat for 4 years now. I missed last years because I was on bed rest about to PoP! But this year I am here and being put to work! (I really don't mind though...it's really a fun thing to be a part of!)
Anyways, Jeff and I came up last night (Thursday) to have an evening to ourselves and go ahead and start getting a few things ready. We woke up this morning ( I slept terrible! by the way) got ready and went out to breakfast. We're staying at the Avista Resort (amazing!) and their parking garage is across the street. I knew that it was going to be cold, but had no idea! It was 26 degrees this morning, and windy! Who would have thought that the year we leave freezing temperatures in Florida that it would also end up freezing in Myrtle Beach!
All of the churches finished arriving at about 9:30 PM. We had an intro to the weekend by having a worship time with a long time favorite band Room Enough. After Room Enough played a set our speaker Bobby McGraw spoke a short message about our theme for the weekend which is all about being unified. Our verses for the week come from Ephesians 4 vs 1-6. We're not only talking about being unified as a group in our church, but making sure that we are in unity with Christ first and foremost through our Salvation.
So, thus ends our first evening here in freezing Myrtle Beach...and I am off to bed. Tomorrow is a VeRy full day with lots of events...so I'm gonna try and get a good nights rest. Looking forward to what God is going to do! :)
By the way...I am missing my baby boy! But he's in good hands.

Booking Blitz
The team that I work with for Thirty-One Gifts is having a challenge. Between tonight and Wednesday night we are trying to book as many parties as possible for January, February and March. The awesome thing about this is that our new Spring/Summer catalog will be out and available February 1st! Some of our Fall/Winter items will still be available but several are going to be discontinued. You could even hold a Fall/Winter party in January and then hold a Spring/Summer party in March!
We have amazing hostess rewards going on right now as well. If you have a qualifying party you will get money towards our new catalog!
If you are interested in helping me out during my challenge and booking a party please let me know and I will contact you between tonight and Wednesday night.
