Day 340 ~ To Our Moms

Today Calley and I were finishing off my mom's (mil) Mother's Day gift that Calley had painted for her, and we decided to included a bible verse.

Thanks to my friend... who brought it to my attention early in our search... we chose a verse in Proverbs.

But before I share it with you, once again I am keeping tonight's post short {and will let loose tomorrow night-  LOL!}...  I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope all our beautiful moms had a beautiful peaceful day, with all their loved ones by their sides.

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.  She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.  Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:  

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."  

~ Proverbs 31:26-29

Blessings,

Day 151 ~ Love is Having A Girly Weekend!

Picture by Stuart Miles

First off... YAY!! 6,000 HITS!   WOW!!  I am humbled!  Thank you for your new and continued support.   


As I finally sit down after a busy weekend, I gaze upon the wonderful times shared with my family.  


Mine and Calley's weekend started when I received a call from mom (my mother in law) late  Friday morning asking, or rather letting me know that Calley and I were being invited to manis and pedis by her and Nicole (close family friend- actually one of my brother in laws old girlfriend, who is like the most special little sister a girl could have, see Day 36.)  How can a gal say no to mani and a pedi?!

So there we were (ay! I wish I would have gotten a picture!) the four of us getting pampered!  What a treat!!  Oh and Calley, well she was in heaven!  She loved every minute of it!  "Mommy, I want purple on my toes and pink on my fingers!  Once again, Thank You Mom and Nicole!!

A good portion of Saturday was spent at a business development seminar, at which a person afterwards is guaranteed to always walk away all fired up!  There is something to be said about being in a room full of positive people.


I know we were supposed to gain an hour this morning with daylight saving time ending, even so, how come no one slept past seven?  Well, I guess one good thing came out of that... we had plenty of time to get to Dean's aunt's home for the family's traditional Sunday brunch.  


Afterwards, Calley, mom and I ended the weekend by going to the big Christmas Bazaar at the El Paso Convention Center.  By the time we were done, we were done!  Let me tell you, having a wonderful weekend takes the energy out of you!  

I am thankful for my mother in law~  Mom thank you for being such a great example as the wonderful, caring and faithful woman you are.

Blessings to all!!
