Seattle Part 1

So, I am having a hard time deciding which pictures to use because there were alot. I am going to have to do these posts in parts!

When we got to my in-laws house, I was blown away with their home. Its so beautiful and roomy, on lots of land and so homey! We were so tired Friday evening, but Jason and his dad had some time to play a little badgammon!

Saturday, downtown Seattle was on the agenda. I really wanted to get a cup of coffee and see the market. The market is amazing....there are so many seafood stands, fresh fruit, and flowers. Oh my goodness the flowers! A bouquet that goes for $50 in Texas costs $5 there. We walked around all over and got to eat seafood on the dock, we saw the original Starbucks, saw lots of musicians play and had a really good time. By the end of the day, there were so many people that we were ready to go. Our feet were starting to hurt and we were exhausted! We came back and ate dinner, but before we went to bed, we did play with some of Robert's toys. They have a fire pit in their backyard and Jason was determined to get a fire started, despite the wood being really wet. So Robert brought out his flame thrower. Jason couldnt have all the fun so I joined in. That thing was awesome! He uses it to kill the weeds that grow through his stones, so we were the weed killers. Then it was on to target practice!!! BB guns are fun, I tell ya.

Fun day, but I fell asleep watching TV on the couch, which is certainly my MO. What a great day!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

Dancing With Dad

I have been working on a project these last couple of weeks for my previous company. Yesterday, I was working on my computer and heard roaring laughter coming from Avery's room. I walk in and found Jason and Avery dancing and singing away.   By sheer coincidence, this popped up on my Timehop today. Avery was only 1 in this picture. Boy, are these kiddos lucky to have such a great dad! It makes me heart melt.
