Things They Are A Changin' Around Here...

I am trying to keep this blog updated so that I will have a record of what all goes on in our family. Days go by and I keep thinking I have got to update!! So I am going to try and catch up!

We are in full blown wedding mode! Two weekends ago we had three showers for Jessica and Matt. They were all so much fun. I say this all the time, but our family has some WONDERFUL friends and family. They received so many great gifts that will help start their lives off perfectly! I got to meet some of Jessica's extended family, and they were all so nice! Can't wait until I have a new daughter-in-law! I got the rehearsal dinner invitations in the mail today! I have a few decorating ideas floating around in my head in order to make this a special night for Matt and Jessica! Can't believe it is just 3 weeks away!!

My mom and my aunt came down last weekend for some shopping. We had so much fun! I love hanging out with the two of them. After shopping...Savannah and I met up with Paul at the cabin! We worked outside all weekend and got so much accomplished!! Had a little run in with a chipmunk, that scared me to death, but all is well. He had gotten inside our cabin, which none of us knew...and then he decided to come out of hiding just about the time I walked into the living room. I screamed bloody murder when he touched the back of my leg!:) Let just say I am not to fond of critters. Thank goodness for a courageous husband! I love this man, because he always saves me:)!! Savannah got part of it on video...the part where we get him outside....too funny!!
Sweet Aunt Eva and my sweet mom!!

Well, one of my dearest friends is a grandma!! Yea!! Little River Cooper was born Thursday evening. He is a doll baby! Can't believe that Tracy is a granny!:)

We have been doing lots of projects around the house....cleaning up flower beds and painting. Which BTW....I just painted my front doors and I LOVE THEM! I painted them a turquoise color with a stained glaze on top. I am so excited that they turned out so good...gives the front porch a new look! We also have been sprucing up the pool area...it is almost "chill and grill" season!! YEA......
My new front doors...well actually we just painted and glazed the old ones...but I am in love!! These photos were taken with my I-phone so not the best...but you can get an idea!!

This weekend is Easter! Easter marks the beginning of a new season, which reminds me of the new beginnings we have in Christ! I am so thankful for a risen Savior who gave His life so freely for me! Hope you enjoy this weekend celebrating our Lord Jesus surrounded by the people you love!

Blessed Abundantly....Lisa
