Fall 2013


This weekend my parents came to visit us. My mom
wanted to get pictures of the house and of me opening 
the door when they arrived. :)

Here is our house as they are driving up to it...


Our front door...



This is me opening the door to welcome
my parents here :)


I am getting ready for us to go out shopping now 
that they have arrived.


Here is a picture of our stuff that we need to 
make some of the projects we have planned for this
weekend.


This picture is a little blurry because I was trying
to figure out how to use Mom's camera but she is
showing off some of the stuff that we are going to
be using for our projects...


Mom is studying up how to change the setting
on the camera for me :)


Saturday morning we decided to hit a few crafts
fairs in the area.  I love how the sun is highlighting me ;)



Here are a few of our finds (we needed the wreath
frame to make us a new wreath)




And mom showing off more of our stuff that we are 
finding...


We went back to pick up Dad to take with us
to go get breakfast and hit a few more craft shows
and this is what we came home to :)  I guess he
got bored waiting for us and decided to have fun
playing in the leaves.


Of course, we always have to hit Hobby Lobby when
my mom comes to town.  It is one of our favorite stores.
Don't you just love looking at Christmas things???


Mom is having fun looking at more Christmas items.



And here she is showing Dad a tree made out of
newspapers. (For those that don't know 
my Dad, he LOVES
his newspaper)


This sign says "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas"


My dad was having fun shopping with us also even though
craft type stores are not his favorite, Hobby Lobby has
something for everyone!


So many decisions, trying to find the perfect scrapbook
paper...



And picking out the perfect material :)




Now it is time to get down to doing some
serious projects...Here I am trying to take the old
wreath off of the frame so we can make a new, 
more modern wreath...


I finally got it all figured out, now Mom is using
the mesh tulle to make a new wreath for a Christmas
Brunch that she is hosting...



I am working on a project for a Cookie Swap that
I will be hosting next month....


This is what Dad decided to do while we 
worked on our many projects (Nathan was working
so he missed most of the fun)


We decided to take a quick trip to Lowe's before
Mom and Dad headed back home...


We are checking out some kitchen
counter tops for ideas..



And it wouldn't be a fun fall day without taking pictures
in a leaf pile :)


It was so beautiful outside, we got some great
pictures...




And some fun pictures of Mom and Dad also...



You have to have a leaf fight in the Fall...









This is the way to end a fun photo shoot :)


Hope you enjoyed our fun weekend.  I have a few more
pictures for another post :)

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...
