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.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
