Grannie's Weekend

I love my Grannies roomies so much. I am sure if you have been following the blog, you know about my sweet roomies from college. We decided we needed a get-together since we hadn't had an all-girls weekend since college. With babies and weddings upcoming (Sally and Becca), we decided we needed to get it done. Well, it was last weekend and it was the BEST EVER!!!

I will always be thankful to the Lord for allowing me to be in fellowship and friendship with these awesome women. It was an amazing blessing to see how much God had grown each one of us in the past few years and how our stages of life have changed. There is something so special about relationships that you know in your heart will stand the test of time. I loved that we hadn't all seen each other in a while but we took up right where we left off......mmmm..such sweet time!

They got here to Greenville on Friday. We spent some time together and then Ryan and I went to an engagement party for Matt and Britt (post to come later). So, I didn't get to spend too much time with the girls on Friday, but they went out to eat and chatted......they were too sweet and only allowed "surface level talk" about movies and books until I was back home!

Here are some pictures from Friday afternoon....
Hols and Beccs....they are actually bringing in the bridesmaids dresses for Becca's wedding that will be here in May...they are soooo beautiful!!

Cute pregnant Sally

All four of us...this was a timed picture..can you tell??

Beautiful friends

Saturday morning, we went to Panera like we used to do in our college days. In college, we would go to Panera and sit for hours talking, so we recreated that moment Saturday morning. Holland and Becca were so annoyed because we left my apartment around 7:30 that morning.....they were trying to tell us Panera wasn't open that early.

After Panera, we went shopping for Becca for some engagement/wedding outfits. She had some luck and tried on some beautiful things. Then, we went and shopped for Sally for some pregnancy clothes for a shower she has coming up. She found such a cute dress!! While in the store, we had to try on the pregnancy bellies for a while...we are really weird but it was so fun.

Holland taking the opportunity to relax while Beccs shopped

Beccs in a cute dress...she didn't get it though (let me know if you want me to go back and get it for you after you see this picture, Becca!!)

This was Sally while shopping and for some reason, the outfit was just really cracking us up....she is just the cutest pregnant woman ever!!

Fake pregnancy...I am carrying really high in this one...

Can you tell who is really pregnant??

Sunday, we had time of talking and prayer. The entire weekend was such a wonderful time!!! I loved every second of it. Thanks, Grannies, for being such special friends to me....I love you each so very much....you are all unique abcesses in my heart (inside joke for the Grans)!

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...
