Pop Goes the Weasel.

One of the reasons it takes me a few weeks in between blog updates is because I drive myself crazy thinking of what I want to write about. Do I want to go deep, do I want to just do a random update on how funny my kids are... blah, blah, blah - you get the picture. Once I think of something that makes me really excited to write about, I'll usually run with it.

So here is where I have landed today.

Of course I love my family and my passion in life are my kids and my husband. I have devoted my entire being to them. That is something that I am really proud of and truly what makes me, me.

However, there are other things in life that I really enjoy. So here are a few of my favorite things...

PUGS

In case, you haven't figured it out yet. I love pugs. I even have entire board in pinterest dedicated to my love for pugs. If I happen to see one, I'll go out of my way to say "hello" and introduce myself. One day, when my kids are grown - I'd like to operate a pug rescue.

STARBUCKS

Need I say more? No.

EASTER

Thank you pinterest for the cake idea. I love Easter. It's my favorite holiday!! 
Besides Easter, I enjoy celebrating just about anything. I get tired of the same 'ole thing everyday and when given an opportunity to party or celebrate (especially our Risen King) - I'm all about it.

GARAGE SALES

I am a total nerd and I love garage sales. I enjoy going to them but more importantly I love having them. I love getting rid of clutter and spending hours organizing my junk - but more importantly - I love that people pay me money for me to have clean closets. I mean - come on - can it get any better?

PAMPERED CHEF

I won this at a Pampered Chef party that I went to last week. Do you have any idea how long I have wanted these bowls? Years!!! I try and host a party every year. I love getting free products. But most importantly, I love cooking with Pampered Chef.

A Good DIY Project

This was my latest DIY project. I whited washed my brick fireplace, applied a glaze, painted the fireplace insert and the mantel. I never can remember to take before pictures. Always too excited to get started. I like the feeling of accomplishment that the finished project gives me.

And lastly - the highlight of my week - something that I always look forward to....

MY LIFE GIVING AND AMAZING CHURCH,
LIFECHURCH OF BARTLESVILLE

I love my family at LifeChurch. I love all the little kids at LifeChurch. I love my Pastors, Mark and Linda. And all the other people there that keep the place running. I love my life group and my new friends that I have made there.
God is doing awesome things at my church and I am so excited to apart of it.
We held 2 services Easter Weekend at the Community Center. We had just under 1900 people in attendance. Somewhere around 200 first time visitors and over 300 people gave or recommitted their lives to Christ. Can you believe it? How awesome is that? Very!!!!!


As always, thank you for reading. I enjoy writing when I have the time and a good idea. :) Hope you enjoy reading.
