My first day at work


Is she not a doll?! This is Molly Claire. We introduced you to her a couple of weeks ago. She is our cousin Sarah's new baby girl. I can't wait to get my hands on that doll baby and give her kisses!!!!! (Got a little touch of the baby fever over here in Northeast Arkansas)

Well, I am back in the working world. I sort of now wished I had cherished the time off, instead of wishing it away. We never truly know what we have until it is gone. Such a tough lesson to learn, that is for sure.
I remember when we found out we were moving here. Randall mentioned a job like this at this very hospital and my response was, "P-L-EASE! People that work those jobs in that little town don't ever leave their jobs!"
Well, here I sit in that very job in this not so little town, all because someone left. I am still in awe at how it worked out for me. God is truly way TOO good to me.
I am overwhelmed by all I have to learn and do in the next short time. Please keep praying for us. We are still not sure about where and when we will buy a home. It is a tough market and there is nothing that we would consider buying at this moment. We are embracing apartment living and enjoying the lack of responsibility and maintenance of a house. God never ceases to amaze me. His mercies and surprises are always new!

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 p...

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...
