Showering Baby Bukes

My sweet friend, Sally, is having a baby. I am sure you remember me talking about it before on our Grannie's weekend. Sal has been a very special friend to me since we met in college almost 7 years ago. She brings me encouragement, support and is such a prayer warrior. I can't wait to see what a wonderful mother she is. I am so excited for she and Taylor to raise a daughter!!! It is going to be a joy to watch!

Sal calls her baby "Baby Bukes". The story of where Bukes came from is very long and maybe we will get to that another time, but that is what they call the baby girl that is on the way.

I was invited to a shower for Sally this past weekend in Atlanta. Ryan and I went up Saturday to spend some time with the Stanfills before the shower Sunday. We had such a great time. We spent some time with their friends in Atlanta and Sal and I shopped for a dress for her to wear to the shower....just a good time of peaceful fellowship.

The shower Sunday was ADORABLE!! Sal's friends that were hosting the shower had thought of everything. They had beautiful pink roses, candy shaped like pacifiers, delicious pink cupcakes, baby pictures of Sal, and even a onsie-making station. It was the cutest thing ever.

Here are some pictures from the shower and weekend....

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

Lesson in the Messes

I am having a moment where I need some blogging therapy....been so long since I have hit the blogging scene but today I just felt the need for some bloggin'. At 9 am today, I was covered in poop and headed down the road of a full on melt down (me, not my 2 1/2 year old or my 10 month old---ME). We are in the throws of potty training and my type A self is taking accidents way to personally....am I alone here? I pray not.....Anyways, Jackson says he has to poop but I cannot get there because I am changing my 10 month old's poopy diaper and I tell him just to go in his Pull Up. Which I am going ahead and embracing Pull Ups after an accident soaking the entire couch and another one involving a fairly new rug!! Anyways, I finally got him out of his chair about 30 minutes later and there is poop everywhere- I mean EVERYWHERE...covering the chair, my son, his feet, his legs but I do not realize how much body surface is covered until I get him into his room and start changing him. I...
