Joy is ~

Angel hosts Wednesday's meme: Why I count it all JOY and while I was @ the Baby shower last night I saw such JOY on her face as she held her grandbaby and as she talked to all of those who came to bless her Son and Courtney! JOY is just all over her! Isn't it awesome when you see someone do what they say they do!!


Joy is:

the love of my grand-daughter ♥
the fresh cool air blowing in through the open windows
spending time with my daughter Jenna just talking to one another after school
the hugs from my sweet Son and hearing I love you MOM
receiving a text from friends asking "HOW are you doing?"
my Daughter Krista coming over for dinner
my husband loving and caring for me in such precious ways
my brother calling just to chat :)
Holding Baby Slaid again !!!!
finding an adorable outfit for my new grandson that will be here in January 11'
laughing on the phone with my mom til we snort!!! ;)

above all these ~ JOY is the peace I have in knowing the Lord loves me and is with me in ALL I do leading me each and every moment!

A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart,
and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle . Proverbs 15:30

What brings you JOY today? Why don't you join in and share your JOY

This and That Tuesday

Well, I am soo happy to report that I did NOT cry @ Physical Therapy yesterday WOOHOO! Because I am going to Physical Therapy 3 weeks earlier than I did last time I will spend the next 4 week doing very gentle stretching and then at the end of the 4 weeks they will begin the VERY AGGRESSIVE stuff! So, I was worried for nothing!! I tell ya....the Lord has just shown HIMSELF soo wonderfully and it is a wonder that I am not just on my face praising HIM all the time!!

Tonite I will be going to Angels grandbaby's baby shower! He wasn't suppose to be here until the end of Nov. but God had other plans :) Baby Showers are way more fun when the babies are there aren't they!! I CANNOT wait to snuggle little Slaid ♥

A friend of mine just got back from Hawaii and she got me some KONA Coffee which is my ALL TIME FAVORITE COFFEE!! I will be seeing her today and retrieve my heavenly bag of beans!! I can just taste it now!! YUM!!!
What about you? What is your all time favorite coffee? Do you grind your beans?

Happy Tuesday everyone! ♥

Looking Ahead and Winner Announced :)

What an exciting weekend this has been! I just LOVE when we get that extra hour of sleep don't you :)

Last week I was able to go and work @ my husbands company doing inventory and earning some Christmas money!! Woohoo! I have done this in the past but this year Jenna and Jantzen were able to go earn some money of their own PLUS we got to work together! We had a really good time and I loved watching them as they worked!

On Friday afternoon I got a text from Angel letting me know that her new grandson would be making his debut anytime :) I was soo excited and knew she was beside herself excited!! Here are some pics ....Isn't he sooo Precious!!








My stepmom will be coming to spend some time here this weekend. She will be staying with me so we spent some time this weekend preparing for her visit here. We are going to be placing my Dads Headstone on Sunday. It will no doubt be an emotional time!

I begin Physical Therapy this afternoon! I am praying I won't be in tears like I was last time! My Physical Therapy team is just such a wonderful group of girls!!! I got soooo close to them last time, so I am truly looking forward to being with them even if they do cause me pain LOL

I got the Pioneer Woman's cookbook and my husband made her cinnamon rolls! OH MY GOODNESS!!! You cannot even imagine how DIVINE they are! Seriously, the BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever eaten! If you haven't ever read her blog, you need to! She is an amazing woman, mom, homeschool mom, photographer, and chef! She lives here in OK too :) Most of her recipes are on her blog!
