Fun Mother and Daughter Shopping Trip

My parents came down to visit us last weekend.  We had so much fun just hanging out and visiting and doing a whole lot of nothing (because isn't that what a vacation is all about?)

My mom and I had decided that we were both in need of new
earrings so we decided to go shopping while she was in town.
 
Here is my mom with a couple of fun crazy earrings that we were
debating about getting....
 

 
I thought these earrings would match Nathan's car perfectly.
Do you think I should get these for those fun times when
we are out in his lime green car????
 
 
After we had finally decided on some earrings and
had fun looking at all of the other items in the store, we decided we
should go check out Hobby Lobby.  My mom is hosting a
table for a Christmas brunch this year and we needed some
inspiration and ideas on how to decorate her table.  So off we go....
 
So we start in the Christmas aisle with all of the stockings, just
looking for that perfect inspiration.... 
 
 
 
Look at this stocking, doesn't it have the perfect Elf toes???
 
 
 
And around the corner is the best sign to go with the above stocking.
 
It says Elf Wanted:
no experience necessary
Pointy ears and curly
toes not required
 
Well of course you won't need curly toes we have the stocking
for you to wear :)
 
 
I thought this sign was awesome!!!
 
Here I am with some fun purple Christmas decorations...
Do you think these would make the best table decorations???



We are just having waaay to much fun at this store.
 
There are so many awesome things to see and so much
Christmas stuff....

 
Maybe some Santa Clause statues are the way to go?
Here is a whole aisle of different Santa Claus's...
 


I hope you enjoyed following our shopping trip.  We had such a blast
getting to spend time together and enjoy shopping and looking
at all of the Christmas stuff.  We found some great inspiration pieces
to use for the table decorating also, but you will have to wait until
after the brunch to see just what we come up with for that :)

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 me...

New blog

This was a challenge trying to get this blog set up, but I wanted to start a blog about my long-distance dating journey.  My boyfriend lives about six hours from where I live so it has been an interesting challenge trying to figure out the logistics of when we can see each other since our work schedules are completely opposite.  We met about eight years ago when he lived in the same town that I live in.  We attended the same church at the time and that is how we met.  After dating on and off for a few years he accepted a position in a new store that was opening with his company and decided to move away.  We remained friends and talked on the phone occasionally but decided that dating just wasn't going to work at that time.  After a few years, we decided to try the dating thing again and now it has been about three months and we see each other about every two weeks or so and talk on the phone to each other just about every night.  Well that is enough hi...

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...
