He is Our Guide Until the End {Word Filled Wednesday}
Today my church family is celebrating the Home Going of our pastor’s father. While we’re sad to lose his presence, we rejoice in the knowledge that his sleep is but for a short while, because when the trumpet sounds, he will be joined with our Heavenly Father {1 Corinthians 15:52}.

Strawberry and Creme Pie {Photography}
Last week’s prompt for the 52 Week Project: 2012 Edition was “advertisement”. The idea was to take a picture that made viewers want to “get in line to get what you got”. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to capture until I happened to be at McDonald’s eating a Strawberry Cream Pie. As all of my family and friends know, I’m a big fan of the McDonald’s Peach Pie Seriously, have you ever had one before? It’s beyond delish but I’d never had the Strawberry and Cream pie before but one bite and I was like Oh, yeah, this is it! So I quickly bought another pie I truly suffer for…

Getting to Know Missouri {This or That Thursday}
A couple of days ago I spent some time down at the Mississippi Riverfront, in the Historic District. While there, I took a few pictures of some of the buildings that are undergoing rehabilitation. They’re turning them into lofts {if it weren’t for the kids, I would beg the hubs to move into one}. I took a peek inside one of the windows ~ exposed brick, great metalwork, etc. On my way home, I passed by this charming little antique shop and I just had to go inside. Once inside I roamed the aisles and made a sweet little discovery… My sisters and I had very similar rabbits when we…

When I Think of the Goodness of Jesus {Word Filled Wednesday}
When we moved to Missouri, I tried not to think about all the things that I’d be giving up {a career that I loved, people I enjoyed working with on a daily basis, etc.} and focus on the things that I’d be gaining {living closer to my family, a promotion for the hubs, etc.} but it was still scary. I practically hyperventilated every time I thought about all the bills. Bills we still had to pay. On one salary. Yes, the hubs got a promotion but it didn’t come with a two~person salary increase. Our house in Pennsylvania still hasn’t sold. We have a kid in college, two in high…

My Weekend {Instagram Edition}
How was your Easter weekend? Ours was pretty nice. Church was incredible ~ how could it not be, we’re serving a risen savior!? The kids and I enjoyed a wonderful French Toast breakfast prepared for us by the hubs. Seriously, moving to Missouri has brought out some hidden culinary skills in that man. I would have taken a picture of our breakfast but, um, the food looked too good to stop everyone from digging in, so you have a picture of our coffee cups. I took a couple of hours out of my day to go to the Conservation Center and reflect on life and all of the blessings that…

April Photo~A~Day {This or That Thursday}
I didn’t get a chance to get out much this week to take any pictures, between doctor’s appointments, household chores and a massive headache, picture~taking was low on the list of priorities. But I did manage to squeeze in a few shots for the April Photo~A~Day Challenge. So much fun… 1. Your Reflection I edited this old picture of myself using PhotoFunia {such a fun app}. What photography apps do you use? Instagram is now available for Droid users so I’m way over the moon now. 2. Color Some funky bead bracelets that I rarely wear but enjoy playing with. Seriously, I sit there and roll the beads between my fingers.…

Scavenger Hunt Sunday
Hope you all had a nice weekend. Mine was pretty nice, the hubs and I kicked back and relaxed with the kids. He even made breakfast on Saturday… I don’t know what’s gotten in to that man but the French Toast was definitely on point. I’m hoping he’ll make this a weekly tradition but I’m not gonna force the issue, ya know? Anyway, here are today’s finds for Scavenger Hunt Sunday: 1. Clouds This picture is from a stop the hubs and I made at The Trail of Tears Park last week. So beautiful and yet so tragic. As we drove, I just kept thinking about the lives that were…
