The Weeks Events

It has been a very busy week! Preparing for Christmas is a lot more difficult this year. So far, I have purchased these items for these people: Papa & Gramma -- picture frame with their grandchildren's pictures in it, Dad -- large container of cherries, Mom -- attachment to her Kitchen Aid mixer, Bradley -- as a gag gift: a SubWay giftcard and also a long-sleeve dri-fit Nike shirt, and lastly, Benjamin -- Cat in the Hat Christmas Edition. It feels awesome to be able to give more than I receive.

 

This year I asked for an iPhone & a case. Doubt I will get either, but there is always hope!

 

This is BrieAnna and I at Lime, a Mexican restaurant, before going to see the Christmas Carol. I love the way my hair looks in this picture. It's ombre because of the effect!

Bradley & I enjoyed a dinner at Ruby Tuesday's, and I ordered this DELICIOUS blackberry lemonade!



We cutteeeee.

BrieAnna and I don't really like Moe's, so we got a pizza from Maddio's instead. I ordered a bbq chicken individual pizza! Mhmmmm:)

After late nights of shopping, we have to rush and make dinner, so this is me cooking french toast!

Another night, I stayed after school to cheer on my best friends in their basketball game. It was SO much fun! Here is just a few people from our student section.

It's been a very hectic time lately, but I know many smiles will result from it. I CAN'T WAIT until Christmas :)

 

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”



Another day in the life..

Now that volleyball season has started up again, my mother's schedule usually consists of being a chauffeur. I really enjoy taking care of my little brother; he just giggles and asks for popcorn. He is pretty easy to please. Usually, we enjoy a movie together and eat spaghetti.

 

 

 He can't ever leave Woody.

 

 

We try and make it a priority to thank God for our blessings at the end of each day.

 

He is the light of my world.

 

Exodus 15:13  "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling."

 

Oh, and I think I'm going to start putting a Bible verse at the end of each post. Let me know what you think :)

Lunch to-go!

Today, it was very gloomy and rainy. The water droplets bounce off the ground in shock of the freezing temperatures.

After we went to church, we had to rush and get some food to eat from the Atlanta Bread Company. The food there is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is very enjoyable. The sweets and breads are baked to perfection. Our family just loves it there!

 

 

 Benjamin shares a quick smile next to the tempting sweets.

 

I ordered a "half and half", which included chopstick chicken salad and baked potato soup.

 

After we stuffed our mouths in the car, we sped all the way to volleyball practice. Once we returned home, I cuddled up underneath a blanket and stared at the vibrations the water droplets were making. I'm still doing this, and it is so beautiful.
