New things...

I returned back home yesterday, Tuesday, with my grandparents. I enjoyed the visit home, but it was nice to be back in our house too. I have some new things to share.

I bought Sadie a new collar last Friday. I think it's absolutely adorable! Too bad it'll be too small for her all too soon.

Today at Target there was a huge pet clearance section & if you can imagine, I bought Sadie another toy! It's the cuttest little puppy that has a rattle & a squeaker in it. All the noise may get old very quickly.

These are a my new shoes! I absolutely love them! I wore them out for the first time today when I went shopping for Chris' birthday. They're simple ballet flats, but sometimes I think the simplest things are the cutest.

Check out this new scrapbook album I bought when we were home over the weekend. I of course had to make a trip to Hobby Lobby while we were home & I discovered it there at the great discount of 50% off. I love Hobby Lobby, but unfortunately the nearest one to us is more than 2 hours away. That actually might be the best thing for our budget though.

Our tulips started blooming while we were away this weekend. Here are some pictures of the ones that are open now. It looks like soon I'll have about 25 more blooming :-)!

I love new things!

Home Again

Well, we'll be starting our trek back to Conyers for a visit this afternoon. We haven't been home since a couple of weekends after Christmas, so we're very excited to visit with our families at home again. Unfortunately, Sadie seems to be carsick....ewww. We're going to try some Benadryl to see if she'll just sleep the 6 1/2 hour trip home away. I hope it works!

The weather here has been so beautiful for the last few days. Sadie & I have been enjoying playing in the yard together before I'd leave for work at night. We've been taking our late afternoon walks to & Sadie has met lots of new friends down the street. She does love people! Here are some photos I shot of her playing outside with me this week. Isn't she adorable?

Spring has Sprung

I am so glad that the signs of spring are all around us! The weather has taken a turn for warm (thank goodness), flowers are blooming, and our grass is getting greener.

I love these ways that God uses to remind us of the new life that we have in Him each day. Easter is just around the corner. It's one of my favorite times of the year.

Here are some pictures of the flowers blooming in our yard right now. We can't wait to see what else blooms & to get some more things planted in the next few weeks!

Our little family

Welcome to my blog!

I started this blog at the suggestion of a good friend as a way to keep my family & friends updated on the simple, everyday things that go on in our lives.

This is a picture of our little family-me, Sadie & Chris. We are so happy together and I am truly thankful everyday that I have been blessed to be a wife to such a wonderful husband. We love our puppy Sadie who is such a great little companion and playmate. Because we are so far away from the rest of our family, the three of us are very important to each other.

Keep checking back here for updates on my simple life!
