Snow....

Dear Snow, Please be nice to Amarillo this week. I really want to be home for Christmas.
Lovies,
Me

A blizzard is headed towards the 806 tonight. I hope it's clean clear on Saturday. In Jesus name I will be in my favorite house in all the world Sat night.

Pillow Fight...

Hana won.

My sweet friend Han is probably one of the most creative people I know!! This past weekend she "helped" me make envelope pillow cases for my living room. I cut and pinned she worked the sewing machine.

We used this YouTube tutorial



Isn't Youtube the BEST?!?!?!

Here are a few pictures of the finished products.

Aren't they ADORABLE?!?!

A little gift

Okay, yes, I know I said I wouldn't buy anything for myself this month, but I couldn't help it!! I bought some carnations yesterday and put some cranberries in the vase. Isn't it a cute festive arrangement?!

I love fresh flowers and they totally bring a smile to my face. The best part is the price! It was only four dollars!!!

What are some of your simple enjoyments?

Santiago Huckleberry

Isn't that one of the coolest names you have ever heard?!?!?! Really it sounds like i'ts the name of a great adventurer who has sailed the seven seas, found treasures in pyramids, and conquered great nations.

In reality it's the name of my new fave candle my sweet roomie gave me for Christmas! :) I may name my next dog after this candle, and he or she can explore the great unknown of what ever city or country I may be living in at that time.

Seriously, this candle is wonderful!! I'm burning the candle as I spend a relaxing day off of work, but it smells like adventure and life.

Here is the Roomie Christmas Tree with presents. Mel also got all of noise putty. Who knew putty that makes fart noise could bring great entertainment to three girls.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

It's so true! It so sweet how a children's Sunday song can speak to a 25 year old's heart.



Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Christmas Time is Here!!

Christms time is here and that means I get to listen to Christmas music all day everyday, warm smells of cinnamon and cookies are everywhere, and remembering why we are able to celebrate this holiday. My favorite Christmas carol is, O Holy Night, because it shares the love of Jesus and why he came to earth. .

Truly He taught us to love one another;

His law is love and His gospel is peace.

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;

And in His name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,

Let all within us praise His holy name.

This past Sunday the my roomies, Fordy and I ushered in the holiday spirit. We strung popcorn and cranberries, watched Christmas movies, and sipped on hot chocolate. I love the girls I live with and how we have made our little duplex a home.

Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.

November, you were fun!

Wow, where did this month go?! Here we are less than a moth away from Christmas and my little corazon can hardly take it!

This month I celebrated my "Waco mom" birthday. Mich is a woman of joy, grace, patience, love and fun. She has shown and taught me so much about the Mother heart of God. I have learned so much from this woman and will never ever be able to thank her enough.

I also got a special visit from Katie and Ani that included girl talk til 3 am, the three of us sharing a bed, and waking up at 7. I am so thankful for these ladies. The next morning we were up early to go to San Marcos to celebrate EAH!!! It was so gun to see Lisa and her sweet baby! Lisa and her hubby Dick, aka Mr Herman, have been walking with my sweet family though the good, bad, and everything in between the past 9 years. This little girl is def a sweet promise of the Lord fulfilled.

Later in the month I had the sweet honor of planning the wedding for my sweet friends Emily and Adam. I was in Elevate with them both and have been along for the journey of two friends meeting, dating, getting engaged and now married!! The wedding day was a hectic with one, because it fell on the boy's birthday, but totallt a  BLAST! The whole event I felt so alive and pray I can do more weddings in the future.


This thanksgiving I was in Waco and oh how I am thankful. I was able to spend the day with the brown bear, his parents, and the Smiths. I'm so thankful for family who live in the same city! My sweet padre came in that evening and we watch the UT Longhorns win against the Aggies.

What did you do for Thanksgiving?
