Hey there friends! I feel like posting has been sparse the past few weeks. Sean and I have had some family member or another staying with us for about a month now and it's been priority to spend time with them rather than work on the ol' blog. I'm glad though, it's nice to take a break once in a while and focus on time with family! Sean and I are finally in the house alone now though and we're not really sure what to do with ourselves. At the moment  Sean is sleeping (along with the kitties) in their favorite sunbeam. Not a bad Sunday afternoon I guess :)

This is the outfit I wore last weekend for my sister in-law's couples bridal shower! We had such a fun time entertaining on our deck and showing off our kitties to everyone. The wedding is next weekend and I'm so happy for Sean's sister and her fiance! They deserve to have the best day ever and I can't wait, I love weddings!

 

I finally bought my very first Modcloth dress and even though it's quite a bit too big for me, adding a belt and a blazer helped considerably. I'm going to have to take up the shoulders like I do with a lot of my dresses to make it fit a bit better! This is why I don't normally order clothing off the internet I suppose. I just adored the pattern and color of this frock and it's basic shape will make it so wonderful for layering soon.

 

Today was a wonderful church service. My church is cool in that it sometimes gets speakers/musicians to do our services and today we got to hear Phil Joel sing and speak! For those who don't know, he is a former member of the Newsboys (only my favorite band since I was a kid, NO BIG DEAL).  He had a really great message actually, giving his testimony as well as sharing why reading the Bible and delving into the word is so important, a very convicting statement for me to hear. Daily devotions can be somewhat of a struggle for me at times. He really brought to my attention how crucial it is to make that time with God each day a priority. Sure, there will be days when you're not feeling it, but I think that's true with anything we do in our lives. Marriage, jobs, hobbies-they all get tiresome after a while, but it's making a commitment to those things that really helps one to grow. Just think about it, the CREATER OF THE UNIVERSE wants to talk to me and spend time with me, and I need my half hour more of sleep rather than spending time with God? How silly that sounds when I say it out loud (or type it, whatever :) ).   Just something on my heart today.

Alright, Darlings I have the evening ahead of me to hopefully get a few things done (when I say things, I mean playing with kitties while entertaining the idea of cleaning dishes). We'll see what happens :)

God Bless!
