9 months...

Today marks 9 months of Carl and I being a couple. We officially became a couple on December 13, 2007. It has been a great 9 months. I am so thankful that God borught Carl into my life. I know it was God, because I probably would have never met him otherwise.


I had actually given my singlehood (if that's a word) to the Lord. I had struggled with it for a while, and finally committed it to God. If God wanted me to be single all my life, then so be it. Just a few weeks really after that is when I started talking to and emailing Carl.


Our first date was a revival service at my church, and then we wnet to Steak N Shake for something to eat. About a month after that is when we decided to be a couple.


My family liked Carl from the beginning, and has grown to love him like one of the family. My dad really liked him...and I am so thankful that I knew I had Dad's approval on Carl before Dad passed away. Mychurch family also accepted Carl as one of their own pretty quickly, and Carl is one of us now. It is no longer "my" church, it's "our" church.


So, Carl, I love you! Here's to many more months and years together!!!

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
