Dress Shopping

Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I'm back to post about more shopping.  The wedding gown shopping continues...It is not easy to find the perfect dress.  So my mom and I had some time a couple weekends back and decided to take a trip up to Spokane, WA to see if we could find the perfect wedding gown.  We got up early and headed out, the weather was absolutely beatiful.  Now, for this time of year usually the road conditions aren' t the best since you still have a lot of snow and ice on them, but not this weekend.  The roads were clear, although the weather forecast was for a lot of wind, we decided to chance it.  So off we headed.

We arrived at our first store about eleven in the morning and started browsing through the dresses.

Then once a consultant was free, I started trying on gowns to see if I could find anything I liked.  There are so many different styles out there.  This first dress, I saw on the mannequin as I was walking in the store and thought it just looked beautiful.  Unfortunately, when I tried it on, it did not look good on me at all.  What a bummer :(  so the searching continued.


I love the train on this gown, but the front of the dress just didn't compare nearly as well....so I tried on a few more....




I love the criss-cross look on the front of this gown






Then I tried on this dress and thought it was beautiful. 


But I wasn't sure it was the right dress for me, so I continued shopping.


This dress was just so different that I had to try it on....it was beautiful from the back with the layers on the train

Unfortunately, I didn't like the look of the front of it on me.

Next, I decided to try a dress with straps just to see if I liked the different look

We are starting to get somewhere, but I just don't know yet.


Yo, What do you think of this one?  (Just being silly now)

Don't you love the mannequin in the corner??


I tried on a veil with this dress to see how it would look...



This was the area where I was trying on dresses....

Well, that was all for that store and I didn't find the dress that I was just absolutely in love with.  So the shopping will continue.

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime?  I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed.  I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born.  He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation.  He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born.  Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own.  It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also.  I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born.  I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born.  That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there to take care of them. I know that I know tha

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious metals that we have without the trials of g

Mustard Seed Faith

With Easter coming up soon I have been thinking about the Cross of Jesus.  Most people know what the cross stands for, no matter what religion or non-religion that people have, but I have been thinking about the fact that we can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross.  Now, I have heard that phrase throughout my life, but lately I have really been pondering it.  Do we ever truly lay our burdens down at the feet of Jesus and leave them there? My family has had a lot of health issues lately and sometimes it can be a struggle to have the faith to get through situations that you have no control over.  My mom and I recently were talking about how we are the type of people who always want to control a situation or at least to be able to problem solve when something goes wrong.  It is so difficult to sit back and know that there are no solutions to some problems.  However, I know that with the faith of a mustard seed, God can still change the outcome.   Have you ever seen a mustard see
