Weekend Wrap-up

Another fantastic weekend has come and gone. I look forward to my weekends. Saturday night we had a small girls night out because the hubby went out of town for an auction. Cecilia and her 2 dogs came to stay the night with me and we had a fun evening. Our house was packed though. 10 dogs under one roof. At least 5 of those dogs are 2 week old puppies who couldn't go anywhere. All the dogs did so good though.

Sunday is probably my very favorite day of the week. I LOVE going to our church. God has been doing some amazing things in my life and I am so excited to see what is to come. I know that my heart has been changed and things are different, not perfect but changing for the good.

Sunday night we had some great friends over for dinner and a failed attempt at Smores. Windy days and fires don't mix.

Looks like Chloie and Zues are having a conversation. Our dog is so sophisticated that he has to sit in a chair.

While the rest of the world hates Mondays, I absolutly love them. We had a hair color class this morning so I had to be up early, but the day was pretty good. I had lunch with the girls from work at Orlandos. They set out free sacks of old bread to go feed the ducks, so feed the ducks is what I did. I took my camera and 2 bags full of bread and started snapping some pictures. The weather was perfect to be out at the park.

There's just something about a stark white duck that I just love.

Monday evening consisted of the amazingly powerful prayer gathering at ELife then some dinner with Joseph. I am going to attempt to begin teaching myself to play the guitar now. We will see how it goes.

Chloie meets the babies

Chloie has been telling her mom she wants to come see Gina's babies for a while now. After prayer group tonight they came over for dinner and to meet the 5 pug babies. It was pretty precious to see.

This sweet baby always sleeps on her back with her tongue out. She didn't even budge when I held her on her back for a while. I'm getting attached to the little boogers.

Happy Easter

Easter weekend was amazing. It was really great to remember the true meaning of Easter and that the only reason we are here on this earth is because Jesus died on the cross and rose from the tomb for our sins. The church service this weekend was so awesome and touched so many lives. God is doing some huge things in Lubbock and it's so cool to see all the people who are committing their lives to Christ. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing, growing church. This weekend there were a total of 4450 people attending the 5 services and 125 people made first time commitments to Christ. WOW! Chris led an amazing service. It was such a unique service with a rapper, UFC style fighter, and a great message about how Jesus never "tapped out" and how he is an Ultimate Fighter.

We went to the Saturday night service and took a ton of friends and family with us. We were super excited to share this experience with our family. Easter Sunday I volunteered for 2 services to teach 2 and 3 year olds. They were super sweet and a lot of fun.

We went to my mom's house for Easter lunch and she still had us a little Easter egg hunt. We are probably too old for that by now, but you gotta love tradition. It was the most beautiful day so we spent a lot of time outdoors. We went out to the lake to spend the evening and have dinner with Joe's family. We rode around on the scooters and hung out on the porch. What a perfect Easter with my love. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Thank you Jesus for dying for our sins and raising from the tomb. Please help me to be an example of the christian woman you want me to be.

These are a few of my favorite things.....

I was looking on Etsy.com the other night and found a few things that I LOVE and that inspire me. I love feathers, birds, peacocks, giraffes, hearts, and trees!

Baby Update

The baby pugs are doing so great. They are growing, and staying healthy and happy. Gina continues to be a good mommy and feeds the babies a lot. I can't wait for them to open their eyes and to start being playful. Nuggett really wants to hang out with the puppies and be a fun daddy but Gina makes him keep their distance. The only bad part is the fact that with all the puppy excitement, the older dogs have been a little restless so once again I'm not getting much sleep.
