San Diego-Christmas 2007

I have been going through pictures on my computer looking for some "frame worthy" ones to put up around our house.  While searching through some, I came across pictures and videos of when Cody and I went to San Diego for Christmas a couple of years ago.  My Grandparents (Mom's Parents) had no idea that we were coming, it was their "gift".  We were able to capture video AND pictures, thanks to Uncle Bryan and Aunt Janet!  We had SO much fun while we were there! :o)  We love you Grandma and Grandpa!!! ♥

We had such an amazing time in San Diego!  It was a great time with family, as well as a vacation! :o)

You Are For Me - Kari Jobe

So I have been unable to sleep much for the past week.  I have a lot on my mind and I just can't seem to "shut off" the thoughts!  Tonight I was led to listen to the song I have below, "You Are For Me" by Kari Jobe.  I wanted to share it with you all because of how much of an impact this song has had on me.  I know this song very well and I worship with it almost daily, but something about tonight was different. I'm not sure what it is, it just hit me hard.  A lot is going on in my life at the moment; uncertainty, incredible hurt, betrayal, being taken advantage of, loss of friendships, the list could go on (I may or may not share details in a later blog post, I haven't decided yet)...but in the midst of it all, I am reminded in this song, that Jesus is and always has been for me and not against me.  He has always loved me, and will continue to love me through all of the difficult times.  He's in it through the thick and thin.  I am working on letting ALL of my pain and frustration go and letting God take over and heal my heart, my emotions, and my mind.  In the past, I have been super great at letting go some of my pain and frustration, not all, but I am determined to change...I hope this song touches you as it has touched me. 

Nails

I just got my nails done this afternoon...I have never had a dark pink for the base before...I love it though!!!!! hehe :o) (can you tell I'm bored?) haha

Cupcake'd

So I finally finished my cupcakes!!!  I used my Pampered Chef muffin pan for the first time. Lyndi, my sister-in-law, had given it to me for Christmas but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet!  It was awesome!!!  Thank you again Lyndi!!!! :)  I am still trying to come up with official names for the flavors!  If you have any ideas, please let me know! :) 

I sure make a mess when I bake...

...haha

My Dessert Decorator Pro...first time using it!  Love it!

 I used my DDP to fill a few of the cupcakes with strawberry jelly

*Vanilla, Caramel, and Coffee...I have no idea on a name...

*Vanilla 

*Strawberry frosting and cake

*Strawberry cake, frosting and filling

I am thinking Strawberry Extreme?

My Kitchen :)

So today I really wanted to create a new cupcake flavor, or flavors.  I would not let myself do that until after I deep cleaned my kitchen, kind of backwards I know...but for me...I don't like to cook or bake in an untidy kitchen!  It drives me crazy!  Soooo I cleaned...hehe...look at my pretty kitchen!!!!! :o) ( pictures of my cupcake creations will come later, once they are all done...hehe)
