A clean garage!?!


Stephen has gone to New Orleans on a mission trip and will be gone all weekend, so I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and clean out the garage. You know, since he is out of town I won't feel the need to call and ask his permission to throw something away.

I know some of you looked at the picture and thought it was a "before" picture but it is most definitely an "after" picture ( I wouldn't have dared to even take a before picture!) Those of you that know me or have been to the house can attest to the fact that it is looking much better! Stephen joked at church about letting a lady park her car in our garage so that it would be in the shade, and some people-yes youDebbie!- knew that that was not going to be possible. It hasn't been a clean garage since Oct 18,2006-the day before we moved in! Now I have attempted to clean it but I have never thrown so much stuff away. I probably should have taken a picture of all the trash!

We are getting new furniture very soon-could even be today YEA!!!-I will take a picture of that and show it to you too!

HEY! Don't forget to keep praying for Abby. Her event is tomorrow and she has a lot going on. Pray that her volunteers will show up with good attitudes, that all the rental equipment comes in without a hitch, and that she can stay focused on the task at hand (and stop worrying about Becca's mom, etc...HA!) and also that this event raises more money than last year, so that even more children can attend ECS that can't afford it.

Love ya'll

Wow, you can see the walls and the floor. I am most impressed. I think I can even spot a Sambo in there?!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
