Day 48

After the race, we checked out and headed north to Oak Island, NC for the night.

Even though cold, rainy weather was on the way, the afternoon was beautiful and almost 60 degrees.

Maria and I walked on the beach, and we both took a few photos.

Again, I cannot choose just one.

This first photo was taken right when we got down to the beach, and the sun was still shining.

ISO 200 f/6.3 SS 1/1600

After our walk, many clouds had rolled in, and it was getting much darker.

ISO 200 f/4.5 SS 1/1600

Still beautiful though...

This morning bright and early my three runners headed out to rock the 16th Annual Myrtle Beach Half-Marathon!

Two out of the three runners set personal records and one was only off by 45 seconds! Ca-razy Running!

So proud of them! They all finished strong!

Day 46

I meant to post this on Friday, but it slipped my mind with us traveling to the beach.

This is Emma before school. She and her doll have on matching outfits! She was so excited to take her for show and tell!

Day 45

Valentine's Day 2013

My HEARTS walking around outside of my body...

ok...so they had HAD IT by this point.

The love of my life...surprised me by cooking dinner!

And even...

which are usually a big no no...I just don't see the point in spending the money at Valentine's Day, but the thought was oh so sweet!

An Instagram of my Lenten Rose on this first day of Lent!

~ Rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.

Day 42

Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday so today we started getting ready for our Fat Tuesday celebration.

Emma was especially helpful in unwrapping the masks.

*Photoshop is really acting up tonight. If I was not so tired, I might try to figure it out !

Day 41

This morning we got up and went to church.

On the way home, I stopped at Sherwin Williams for paint for the dining room.

I had the lady color match the moulding paint color for the wainscoting, and then I chose a color to "try" for the walls above.

I spent four hours painting today. That was about 4 hours more than I wanted to...

Here is the color. I was thinking of a navy for the dining room...something bold.

I just don't think I can do it. It is way too dark. The room can handle the bold color; I just don't think I can.

Day 40

Jackson had a sleepover last night.

This morning we decided to make cinnamon roll waffles. I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and we love cinnamon rolls this way now...no more gooey middle!
