Christmas Fun-- A little late!

Our niece's first Christmas was SO much fun! I'm not sure who loved it more... Us or her! Matt and I aren't quite ready for kids, but I can't imagine how incredible it is to have kids at Christmastime. It is something I am looking forward to for sure. :)

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday!

52 Weeks

Thanks to a couple of sweet friends (and Pinterest), I'm now participating in the 52 Bible verses in a year. I am two weeks behind, but did not want to miss this verse:

But by the grace of God, I am what I am.

-1 Corinthians 15:10

I took a red 5x7 frame I found at Target, a piece of cardstock to put in the frame, and some cute little 3-D butterfly stickers (to add a little "froof"), and put it all together. Now, I will just use a dry erase marker to change the verse each week. I will post a picture soon!!

Here's to 51 more beautiful verses.

Sunday Excitement

Tonight, I curled up in bed to finally watch Private Practice from the other night and ended up with a very pleasant surprise. At the very beginning of the show, a song was playing in the background-- I kept thinking "Wow this sounds familiar." Anybody that really knows me knows that I am a bit of a music junkie... It's almost ridiculous! I backed up to the beginning and listened to it again. When recognition hit me, you could have knocked me over with a feather... My sweet friend from college, David Ramirez's song "Fires" was on Private Practice! (You can read about him HERE). At first it was just the instrumental, but I still thought it was pretty dang cool. Then, in the very last 5 minutes of the show (you know, when all the sappy things happen), the entire song played, voice and all! CHECK IT OUT! :)

After a wonderful service at church and hearing David on PP, I'm feeling pretty dang good. Bring it on Monday!
