These are the days of our lives...

Oh the days you wish you could crawl back into bed and stay there. The days where you have unanswered questions and heartbreak. You know how you have the days where you have a super strong faith in God and no matter what happens, you know it will be okay? Those are sometimes followed by the "Why God? I don't get it" days. I hate those. I hate asking those questions but yet find it so theraputic and I know that God doesn't mind me having questions. But I have to keep going along because to lose that faith would be an even bigger heartbreak. So for now I will rest in His assurance and know that it is well with my soul.

Hungry?

Who really gets full by eating these? I just had one. It was yummy - but I could eat like 3 of these. And I ate it at 11am - it's going to be a long day.

God's Blessings

You know those times where you say "God will provide - I can't imagine how but He will". Well He does and He did! Amazing. There's really not more you can say. I'm just amazed at His power and glory.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

I love the rain

It's all stormy today and I love it! When Spring starts to arrive (and the daffodils are already blooming!), I enjoy the warm rains. Of course it's going to get colder tomorrow but so what. Today it's warm spring-like rains. Ahh - the smells and the freshness, the fact that it washes away old stuff and helps new things grow. So sit back and enjoy the heavens pouring out it's love!

Teddy Bears

I learned something about myself last week when I saw Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman at Whole Foods. I did make a trip to Whole foods just to see them since Jennifer gave me the tip. As I wandered around feeling like I should buy something, I was drawn to a bag of chocolatey teddy bear cookie snacks. YUM! And cheap - $1.99. So I bought them (waiting in line behind Keith and Nicole of course) and enjoyed them on my way home.

It was then that I noticed when it comes to snacks - if I see teddy bear shaped graham cookie snacks anywhere - I will buy them and eat them. (okay not everywhere I go - but if I'm in the mood for a snack - I will go toward the teddy graham isle). I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the cute little teddy bear shape. Or the delicious flavors. Or the delightful bitesize crunch. But I do like those teddy bear cookies.

My Sweet Valentines

Ahh - Valentines Day has come and gone. Nick and I try not to get too swept up in all the hubub by buying expensive gifts but we do love to show how much we love each other. I bought him his favorite - chocolate covered cherries. Target sells Harry & David brand so I bought his a new kind of chocolate covered cherry (and the all famous Moose Munch). He was hesitant but now they are his most favorite (I have a way of doing that to him :) ). Nick, unfortunately, had to work all weekend at the Home Show with his insulation booth. And I mean - all weekend! So Thursday, as I was working the welcome desk at Lampo's blooddrive, Nick shows up with a tasty treat for me - a smoothie from 9 Fruits! Oh how I love THEE! The card was my favorite - it was one of those recordable cards. Then tonight, as he returned home at last, I made him a fantastic pasta dish and dessert nachos (Thanks Nikkie for that idea!). Then we made a fest of chocolate covered strawberries.

I love you Hubby! You're my best friend!

Here's to you Grandma!

You know those foods that you eat and it reminds you of someone or somewhere? Salt & Vinegar chips remind me of my dear grandma. She once ate a whole bag of them because she loved them so much and couldn't stop. So here's to you Grandma as I finish off my bag of baked salt & vinegar chips (from Target)! No - I didn't eat the whole bag...it took me 3 days to finish it.
