Box of Chocolates

My dad is going to meet this woman that he has been talking to in Brazil. Anyway he wanted to bring her chocolates. We drove out to Norman Love, the best chocolates in the world. Bought a box and he took it home. That night as he packed he went to answer the phone and the dog ate the whole box of chocolates! So I went and bought another box of chocolates I am sure that now this is the most expensive box of chocolates ever! Each box costs about 60.00 and with the gas to and from Marco Island. So here is a picture of the last box of chocolates.

Luke's 1st school program

On Friday my son Luke age 3 did his 1st school program. He was so cute "singing He is still working on me" and many other songs. They were on stage for about an hour and he did great! I hope the photos are ok I was sitting way in the back so no close ups.

Mission Trip

Well some awesome and exciting news, my father is going to Brazil on Friday to preach at a mission church there and to stay with a group of missionaries. Please pray for safe travels and the Lord to shine through in his talk. Which is on my favorite chapter in the Bible James 1.

Tough times

I must admit this week has been a roller coaster of trails. My business is just not doing well and it brakes my heart. Since I was 19 years old I have had this company and to see the market and sales and construction the way that it is makes me very sad. I see my dreams slipping away. I have a huge meeting on Friday at 2:00pm pray for me that I would make sense and that all would agree with the plan. My poor husband has left our company and started a new job this week but He has not gotten home before 9:00pm. Most of the work is manual labor and he is exhausted and I love him so much and not sure how to help. My father is talking to woman and it makes me so uncomfortable. She is traveling here May 4Th and I don't want her in my mom's house or touching or looking at her things. I want my mom back. I must admit that today I am angry with God and I hate myself for it. I just feel that after last year and my mom's death that I deserve grace but no one deserves grace and I need to get over myself. But today is a pity party for me. Pray for me I need to get over this.

New home

I am finally settleing in to the new condo and really begining to love it. I can clean the whole condo in 45 min. you have to love that. The pitures are of the kitchen and dinning room. I love the light in the dinning room. I found it at the z gallery for $75.00 it uses tea lights and is so pretty when it is lite. Well, I will send more later I hope all have a blessed weekend!

Blessings from God

I am so blessed by my God! In these times that are so rough for everyone. My husband who has worked in our company for the last 12 years has been looking for work. As of April 1st we no longer need him here. But God provides, a subcontractor of ours is going to make a position for my husband and hire him. How blessed is that! Also he will have a company truck which will save us a bundle in gas (for those who do not know my husband drives a GMC truck the worst for gas). I also was offered to have my salary paid for the year if I would stay and help. Which of course is my dream I love my job and I love working.

On a bitter sweet note a friend wants our horse. Which saves us lots of money and Paige never rides but I loved him so! I know he is going to a good home and we will be able to see him and maybe someday get him back.

I am trying to convince my husband to learn to tattoo. My husband is an amazing artist and would love that profession so pray that he would consider.


I pray for those hit so hard with the economy the way that it is. I hurt so bad to watch our friends and vendors in such turmoil. I pray that this will end soon.
