Party Time

This week has been insanely busy! I have probably only sat on my couch three times all week for the sake of doing nothing. It's been nonstop!
Getting ready for Hudson's birthday party has helped me not be so sad about him turning one! But if I think about it too much I'll cry.. And by too much I mean longer then 15 seconds! I'll probably cry at the party when we sing to him. I'm such an emotional momma.
Today I saw 4 people I hardly EVER see! My sister and her fiance, and 2 of my very best friends! Days like this pretty much never happen. It was so lovely. And tomorrow will be lovely too! So glad they are all here!
Our house is the cutest in preparation for Hudson's party. There are monkeys and palm trees everywhere! I CANT WAIT to post pics! I've been planning on this for a couple of months now. It's finally here! So bitter sweet for mommy!
I put Hudson's birthday hat on him to try it out and it looks like he likes it enough to wear it! Woohoo! If I could only get him to wear an adorable little ball cap!
Anyway, here's a pre-party pic!



Enjoy your weekend! I know we will!

My Favorite

I thought I'd share the most favorite drawing I've done so far in my drawing class. The lesson for this assignment was finding a vantage point. Where everything points to that one spot on your paper. It was a little difficult at first but once I found out where it was, it was easy sailing from there. I normally don't like to draw but this class is challenging me and bringing out a side in me that I didn't know existed! Hopefully, this drawing will make the art board like my other drawings! Enjoy!

I'm Planning!

So excited to be planning a vacation for Matt and I to go on together in May. This will be our Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts to one another.
We are going to Houston, TX. The Dodgers will be playing the Astros! I love planning things! Especially vacations! And I've only been to Houston a few times so I'm excited to research all there is to do there. We also considered staying in Galveston, about 45 minutes away and just driving in for the game. Either way, I can't wait! It'll be great quality time for the two of us! Plus, it'll be another trip for me to scrapbook! Woohooo!

Surprise!

I LOVE getting mail! Hudson and I like to check the mail together! Today we had one single envelope in our mailbox..(the mailbox that is all wobbly because my sister backed into it with her car right after we moved in! Ha!)
You know what else I love?? My friends! My friends who live far away. My friends who sent us mail this week. What a pleasant surprise! We miss them, too!







"The best kind of prize is a SURPRISE!"
Can anyone guess what movie this is from?

On with Tomorrow, please!

Today was a weird day for me. A weird day leaning toward the negative side of life unfortunately.
I'm not going to go into much detail. I feel I just need to let a few things out of my system after such a day as this...
Let's see. How do I begin...
I hate the feeling of letting someone down who you know had higher expectations of you. There's this one person in this season of my life who I think alot of. I look up to this person and hope that they think highly of me as a person, an artist. Today I feel like, I know, that I didn't meet their expectations of me. I hate that feeling. I wish I could have a do-over. Unfortunately I cannot. I only have the opportunity to try to prove myself to them once again. And this is one of those instances where me trying to prove myself in deemed appropriate.
If that weren't enough, I experienced something today that I've never experienced before. I sat in a chair I've never sat in before and had a conversation I've never had before.. And quite frankly thought I'd never have. And I'll do it again next week too! Same time, same place, same person! It marks the beginning of something I hope will be beneficial from here on out!
It's just something I'm not used to.. Something.. Well, weird!
UUGGHHH! THEN, my car broke down today:( that's never fun. Something about the water pump... I'm really praying that it isn't expensive to be fixed!
The worst part of the day, believe it or not, wasn't my car breaking down. The worst part of my day was coming to a realization that I wish I could get away with avoiding. However, I cannot. It will only cause more issues. I have to be a big girl and deal with it. It's one of those things you ABSOLUTELY DREAD doing but know that in the end you'll be so happy you did because it will be completely worth it. I have some praying to do, some self analyzing to do, and some healing that needs to take place! It's another one of those spiritual growth instances that God likes to sneak up on you with! Ouch!

Well, to leave with a more positive note: I know that tomorrow is a new day and God's mercies are new every morning! Thank goodness! If it weren't for that promise, days like this would be alot harder to get through!
