Rainy day

   It is a wonderful, rainy day. Too rainy to worry about the loads of work that need to be done outside. So my response to this is to sit on my favorite chair with my favorite coffee cup and listen to silence while P. takes a nap.

     Sometimes, when it's like this I feel like maybe I should quit my job. Those moments don't last long though.

    Anyway, I am trying to use a few minutes of free time wisely so I am planning out some cute projects.

    Here is one I am DEFINITELY doing...I've already bought a few things for it and had the photos printed...I can't wait.

But I figure I must wait until my husband cuts the wood, he hates it when I think I can use power tools without him.

And I can't wait to make this for our trip to Alaska, I love to have things organized in my luggage :)

Although, I almost forgot to mention that before I make this super cute makeup brush holder I have to hone my sewing skills. And by hone, I mean get some.

Also, somewhere in my head is a need to be organized, almost ALL the time. I'm looking for some type of foldery thing that I can put the mail in as soon as we get it so it doesn't sit in the living room for one full day then in the office until the moment finally comes when I'm ready to do the bills. This system feels so outta control. Any ideas?? Let me know.

Better late than never...right?

For mothers day, my husband said, "Hun, what do you want me to get you?"

Don't you just love questions like that, as if you want to tell them what you think you want.

Last year, for my first mother's day, Tim had pictures taken of him and the baby, bought an awesome fram and gave it to me, all wrapped up and amazing!

So, this year, all I wanted was some more of those amazing pictures. The ones that remind me how wonderful and amazing being a mommy is. The ones that make me so proud to be married to the man of my dreams. It is amazing to look back, even though just one year has passed, and see how much has changed.

Here are some of my favorite shots from this year...you'll see they are similar to my favorites from last year. I'm just reminded again of God's greatness, grace and mercy in our lives!
