.friday nights.

so every friday night my best friend natalie and i get together
currently we cook new recipes and then feed our husbands :)
but we decided to add craft time also

last friday we went to natalie and her husband matts new house
it is BEAUTIUL
we documented our fun

natalie and i have been best friends since 3rd grade
i can't even begin to explain all of the things in our life that are exactly alike...
this is pretty much the closest to a twin you can get

natalie is a beautiful christian women and a dear dear friend
i am so excited for her marriage and what the Lord has blessed her with
i can't wait to see how our next 20 years will be in this new chapter of life

.prayer is powerful.

there is a lot going on in me and spensers life right now
but, the most important, spenser's final internship for engineering
spenser is very interested in a few companies in portland and seattle
i have been praying my heart out that he gets what he so desires

but

the Lord has a plan for spenser and i and i am sooo anxious to know it!!
last year me and spenser had a heart pounding week as we waited for the Lord
and took a few leaps of faith as He provided for us 
sending me into pure and overpowering thankfulness

this wednesday 11:40am: interview

i wonder, have i prayed enough, what can i be doing right now
do i have to wait this year, will spenser get his favourite choice
blah blah blah.....

but

{Matthew 6:27,34 "Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?.....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."}
my prayer has turned from worried prayers of future plans to thankfulness
i know. I KNOW the Lord has everything all planned.  He has blessings to pour out
i need to remember each day that me and spenser are His and that His plans are Divine

.born country.

being born in Texas gives me this weird appreciation
i love cowboy boots. hats. dolly look-a-likes. big belt buckles
horses. the texas flag. the longhorns. Jesus. home sweet home.
everyone has their own way of life, i like country life.

"the texas sky is the biggest i've ever seen"

.picture frames.

i have this odd obsession with picture frames
i came home today and looking inside me and hubby's apartment i realized i have a problem
i have been analyzing why....here is my thought
i think i am scared of moving past the moments that the photos were taken in
so i put them ALL up, so just in case i lose my memory i can at least look
