So a good friend of mine lent me a book called " Life sentences" by Warren Wiesbee last year. Well if I put a book on the book shelf I completely forget that I have it. My friend asked me how I was enjoying the book and I said with a "I am so sorry" look on my face, that I hadn't read it yet.
Well I decided that some day she might want her book back, so I took it off the bookshelf and placed it by my bed so that I would remember I wanted to read it. OMG!! I can't believe I waited this long to read it! I use it as a devotional and it is amazing. It has 64 chapters and each chapter talks about a certain person in the bible, and what their purpose in life was. I like to read the chapter and take notes and then the next night look up the bible verses that back it up.
Tonight's reading is on Abel and after reading Cains chapter I'm sure Abel's will be more heavenly. :) . So if you have a chance to read this book I highly recommend it, my favorite quote from the book so far is....
In Eve's chapter Warren talks about the role of motherhood that God gave to Eve, and Warren says " The womb is God's workshop." I thought that was so beautiful because it is the truth.
Are you reading any good books? Would you recommend any?

Country chic
The First day of fall is here and I couldn't be more excited!!!To me this time of year means the baking begins and I start getting ideas for birthday and Christmas gifts. Normally by now I am playing Christmas music, but I am trying to be strong this year. :)
This year thanks to Pintrest I now have the itch to do some crafts! To the rescue is Delaney and her awesome Pintrest ideas. Today we made mason jar soap dispensers (hence the country chic). I made one for my bathroom and one for the kitchen. My bathroom jar is lined in white lace and pink ribbon. The Kitchen jar is red and has a wine glass painted on the glass. If you would like to see picturesI will have them on my Facebook page.
While I blog Delaney has started another craft and she seems to be having issues because she is screaming!! I better go be a good friend and help her out.
Do any of you guys get excited to do crafts? Which ones our your favorite?

Three Little Kittens
No, I did not get new cats!
I have the sweetest student this year, she loves to sing. So my first reaction was great she is going to be horrified when I open my mouth to belt out a song! Well turns out you can sing off key all you want, kids are going to love it anyway. So on the first day of school she asked me to sing with her, the song was "Three Little Kittens". I can't get her to sing anything else! We have been in school for a month now we sing the same song, to and from school. Funny thing is I wouldn't trade it for the world. :)

I am back!!
So my good friend Jean convinced me to start a blog again. I decided to give it another try just for her!:) I don't quite know yet what I will be blogging about, but as the title says it will probably be about my everyday life. Lol. Let me catch you up on my life since my last blog....
I still work for RRISD as a special needs monitor and enjoy doing that. I spend my weekends catching up with friends and seeing the world! Lol ok maybe not a whole lot of the world, mainly traveling back and forth from Bastrop ( not so much anymore) and seeing my brother in Dallas. I have a new car so I get to travel more and I don't stress as much while I drive. That is about it anything else might get its own post. :) I hope that you enjoy this blog, I will try to post pictures but currently don't have a working camera( boo)
