I think my mind has been so wrapped up with a hundred different things, that its hard to just focus on one thing to write about. I'll give you a recap of the past few weeks in my life....
*My birthday was last month...it was awesome! :) I had lots of fun, I was spoiled, I went tee-peeing, and I plan on writing a blog about it eventually.
*We've been sick around here a lot lately, Carson and Aden kept passing crud back and forth. I get that it's nice to share and all, but seriously? I am tired of passing out Tylenol and kleenex!! We all seem to be well now so lets up it stays that way.

| Finally feeling better! |
*We are looking at houses a lot and our house has been shown quite a few times. I found a house I'm in love with that Brad is going to go look at tomorrow. I'm really, really praying it works out!!
 |
| Come buy my house please! |
*All Carson talks about lately is "When I'm four ______ " His birthday is still 5 months away but he has big plans for becoming a four year old. One of which includes getting a dog....he's not getting a dog, unless they come out with a hypoallergenic one!
 |
| Getting way too big!! |
*Aden is growing up WAY TOO FAST! He's 8 months old and as adorable as ever. He isn't quite mobile yet which is fine with me but I can tell he's getting frustrated that he can't get where he wants to be. He gets up on all fours and scoots backwards and then gets mad at himself. It's pretty cute.
 |
| He's not naked, I promise! |
* Brad and I are looking forward to some new opportunities to minister and I can't wait to share with you about that.
 |
| I just like this picture of us! he he! :) |
*I'm feeling very convicted lately about contentedness, and about looking more at laying up treasures for eternal life than focusing so much on material things. I've been thinking a lot about the fruit of the Spirit and how much it is actually evident in my life and what I can do to bear more fruit. I want God to be evident in my life and I want my focus to be on bringing glory to Him.
*I miss Georgia....there is something about my birthday that makes me really miss my friends in Georgia. Those two short years I lived there were some of the best times in my life and I wish those relationships were still as strong as they used to be. On American Idol a few weeks ago, several of the contestants sang "Georgia On My Mind." There is a good chance I teared up everytime!!

| Lauren, Amanda, me and Sara |
*I am totally loving being a "crazy coupon lady!" I am saving big bucks and having a lot of fun doing it!! (By the way, I bought two bottles of Pledge Multi-surface and two bottles of Fantastik for $1.48 at CVS but with the Extra Care Bucks I got back, they essentially paid me! )

| One of my most recent shopping trips |
You sweet, sweet girl! I know how you feel. I decided to not stress about it. Those who want to read my blog do and those who don't find it interesting, don't have to! I look forward to all your posts. I like to get a peek into other people's lives, especially those I adore, like you!! Hope you get the house you love! Can't wait to hear about your ministry opportunity (Jimmy and I are praying about that very thing). I am now craving cake after your birthday cake picture. Being 4 is a very big deal! A lotta living happens at age 4! ;) Don't cave and get a dog. Aden is adorable. I'm sure Georgia misses you. Can't wait to go shopping...that'll make for a great blog post!! And, lastly, love ya!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Laura's comments above! Well said Laura! Just so you know Tara, we heard all the when I turn 5...I am going to....Carson told us many things one was get a dog and Cooper said, "Yeah! His name is going to be Max!" I asked like on the Grinch? He giggled and said, "Yup!" Love those boys!
ReplyDeleteRevival. Radical. Eternal Perspective in SS - I am right there with you on the convinction about our comforts and seeking how I can totally live a life abandoned to Him! Love you!
