20 Years of Beavers Bliss

I am sure Julie will post about her anniversary but since she is not the photo savvy sister that I am I wanted to ensure we celebrated with some photos. I happened to have these two because they were framed in Meemaw's house and I somehow ended up with them when she went to live with Jesus 11 years ago. I dug them out last night and took photos of them with my phone. It made me smile.

Her wedding was beautiful and the ceremony was incredible. The music was like no other wedding you have ever attended. God was glorified and their love for each other was confirmed with marriage. Sweet times in my hot pink dress, for sure.

I was 15 and a happy little chub. I was starting high school 1 week after her wedding. I was in all sorts of panic about that hot pink dress and high school without my sister next door to my bedroom like she had been my whole life until the day she put on this big dress and drove off with that neighbor boy we all knew and loved. I hyperventilated several times that following week and cried in her bedroom more times than I remembered. Oh, to be the little chubby sister of this wedding queen was too much to stand. I loved her like crazy then and still now. I am still upset I was not her maid of honor but we will discuss that at another time. :)

Watching her marriage has helped me with mine. We wed 1 decade apart from each other and having them to look up to has been such a blessing. I love celebrating 20 years with them today through these fun photos. She was such a beautiful bride in 1993 and still is today!

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'
