My Journal | Thirty photos in Thirty Days | personal

Josiah and I celebrated Valentines Day today and he took me to Anthropologie and Ruth’s Chris in Durham. It was an expensive day. We don’t normally splurge, but we let ourselves just this once. Our senses almost had a conniption.

Now, I had never been to Anthropologie before, and I had really, REALLY wanted to go for sometime. It was quite the experience. I wanted to touch everything to feel the different textures. The smells swept me to a foreign land. It was so inspiring. I came away with a few little treasures. One of which was this journal. I love the color and the pop of bling. Plus, there are birds on it. I love birds.

My hope for the rest of the year is to record all of the blessings God has done in my life so that my grandchildren, my children and I can always look back to see how he has been and continues to be faithful in our lives. Good night.

Make it a good Monday | Thirty Photos in Thirty Days

Today started out superbly, which is amazing since it is the Monday after the Super Bowl. What made it so superb, you ask? I got up early. You see, I used to be a morning person before I started having children. That extra half hour I received before the kids got up this morning was so sweet.

I brew a pot of tea every morning. I actually have a hot tea maker that sits next to our coffee maker, and the tea maker gets used twice as much. For my morning quiet times, I read the Bible on my iphone. I typically use a Study Bible, but because I am trying to go through the Bible in a year, I like using my iphone because there are no distractions. I can mark certain verses that I would like to dig deeper about and then come back to them at the end of each book. I am almost done with Deuteronomy… and I have to say, I am thankful. Oh, by the way, I started back in the Fall (I’m no speed reader!).

Anthropologie Wedding Line!!!

On this day that marks the celebration of love, Anthropologie chose to unveil their line of wedding gowns and other goodies. You must go over to the BHLDN and experience the delight. The styles are sophisticated and designed to please a wide range of palates. Happily, the prices won’t leave anyone depressed. Here are a few of my favorites! I’d love to hear some of your favorites.
