Snow Flurries!

I think I have explained this before but today we had a God wink. Little things that remind you that He is watching and knows your heart and desires or places people in your life for a special reason. Well, Madison has been convinced that once we moved she would see snow.  I thought this was just about the most impossible event to happen ever, let alone in the first week of April. I kept telling her that we probably wouldn't see snow this year.  I was wrong!  

We have had our first snow today.  Just flurries but Madison couldn't be happier. There was literally one little cloud above our house with blue skies all around and Madison in her furry to see flurries said "mommy I think it is snowing."  I was like, "no honey, that is just paint splatter on the deck and then one landed on my shirt and you could see it falling through the air. God wink!  Just a little something for us.  And YES, I do believe that cloud was just for us this morning.  Not enough to even take pictures, but it happened a few times this morning and my girl couldn't be more please with life. Faith like a child gets you snow flurries in April!   

Obviously we are now in Alabama and it is COLD!  Crazy Florida girls dancing on the deck in freezing temperatures, in PJ's for snow flurries.  The neighbors must think we are nuts.  HA!  WE ARE!   It is so different here in a wonderful way.  I have been so busy but had to post about our snow today.  Will get pictures up soon.  We have a beautiful dogwood tree in the backyard that is covered in white flowers.  Funny story about that too. More to come!

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......

Dogwood

On our 13 hour car ride to our new dwelling place I had to drop Mark and Delta off at the Chattanooga airport to get his truck. He flew from Chattanooga to St. Pete to come home to drive with us to our new digs.  Chattanooga is the closest airport other than Birmingham (1.5 hours away) that flies directly to Tampa/Saint Petersburg.  The Chattanooga airport is two hours from our new house.  This meant that I got to drive by myself with the kids for the last two hours of the very long trip.  Of course all the kids fell asleep, which is not good when you are leaving your hometown of almost 30 years. First time on the trip it was quiet.  Most days that would be a blessing, but this Sunday was not the case.  I needed noise to keep my mind from thinking about all that was happening.     So what does any girl do in a time like this?  I called my mom. One of the few times I am thankful for the invention of the cell phone.  The drive from Chattanooga to our house is so pretty and there are so m...
