Good Week

This week has been a pretty good one.

It rained three days here...it was amazing!


I got to spend lots of time with my new niece.



I also got to help my friend throw a surprise party for her hubby's 30th birthday.

(All the ladies)

(Birthday boy is the second to last one on the right)

I'm also in the process of making a pretty big decision...but it's one that I know is going to make me much happier in the long run...and hopefully give me some time to really process what I should be doing. Vague, I know...but until a final decision has been made, I'm not comfortable talking about it.

And, one of my dear friends found out she is having a girl!! So excited about all these beautiful little baby girls this year.

What is on your heart this week?

Fall Inspiration

It's time for Gussy's Inspiration Workshop!

The prompt this week was fall.

This has me really excited because I am hosting a girls night at my house this weekend, to ring in fall and all it's gloriousness (is that even a word?).

I am going to be making the following treats:

April's Candy Corn Bark

Doesn't that sound amazing?

Cookies and Cups Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats

I can't wait to taste these!

We are also visiting our local corn maze in a few weeks with some friends. It's going to be a blast!

How are you ringing in the fall?

Holding On

Life has been full of disappointments lately.

If I would have written this blog post last week, like I was thinking about doing, it probably would have come off pretty bitter and down.

The more I've been thinking about everything, the more I've been realizing I can't let myself get so down about this stuff.

Because it's people letting me down...and we all know people are famous for that.

But, there is One who never lets me down...and I just need to keep my eyes fixed on Him.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
(Deuteronomy 31:6, NIV)

While I am by no means terrified or afraid of anyone, I just love the message of this verse. No matter how I'm being treated by people, or how often people disappoint me, God is always with me. He will never leave me.

And that, my friends, is something I can hold onto this week.

(Of course, I am also holding onto this one this week...literally)

Home

My beautiful niece is now home from the hospital!


Thanks for all of your prayers and kind words. She is doing fabulous and I love her to death.


Isn't she gorgeous?!?
