Back in the Swing of Things

I know that I have been out of blog land for quite sometime now, but I am going to do my best to stay in the loop so all of my family and friends can know what is going on in our life.

Happy Mothers day to all moms out there. We wouldn't be who we are today without you.

Today we had an awesome service!! Everything ran so smooth and there was such an anointing. We did a special that was so cute. It was called Somebody's Hero by Jamie O'Neal. I think my favorite line was the "keeper of the cheerios". It was so cute!

I also got a a couple of mothers day presents myself from my mother and my wonderful fiancee. My mother got an adorable bracelet, from which is now, my favorite boutique in Nashville. It is has a Fleur de lis hanging from it.


I also got the most adorable bag from my sweetie, which has my favorite color, apple green, on it. He got it for me for a very special event that I can't yet tell you about.

Aren't they completely adorable!! What is so cool about this boutique is that each one is different. What Apricot Lane has here in Nashville is different than another one because the items that are carried in it are subject to the owner. If one is owned by a rocker style then their items are a little more hard core or if the owner is an older person then it may have a vintage flare. Its really cool!


So i did get my mother a present and if you know my mother at all then you know it takes a lot for her to get excited about something. She has to really like it or really want it. So my mother went to the Bellevue Antique Mall one day and found a lamp this past week. She really wanted it but thought I'll wait and see if I still like it in a couple of days. So all I heard from her Thursday night was how cute this lamp was and this and that. So I thought well that would be a great mothers day present and I will go get it tomorrow before she goes back to buy it for herself. So I went back late Friday morning around 10:45 to get this lamp. I went into the store but knew that I had to hurry because she could come in at any minute. So I went to the lady who worked there and told her that my mom was in here a few days ago and found a lamp that she want and I have to find it and buy it before she gets here. She found it and then I lingered and looked around for a while. I finally left around 11:30 and got back to the shop. I guess mom and dad went there around 12:30 to go get and it wasn't there. I came home and brought the lamp in because I knew that mom would be out and wouldn't get a back in until 7:30, it was 6:30 at this point. I got to thinking I can't give mom a lamp without a lamp shade so I was going to go get her one with Travis. Me, Trav, and Dad were all in the kitchen talking and I came from around the corner and there was mom standing at the end if the hallway staring at her lamp. Yes my mother saw one of her mothers day presents and the other one she already had.



It has taken me so long to do this post because I am watching this stupid movie called I Am Legend. Ladies do not watch this movie!!!!
