Tonight after dropping Alex off at Scouts, Mishal and I went to Taco Bell and then shopping at Rue 21. Before leaving, she had told me she just wanted to check out the sales. She tried on a few tops, but then got mad at me when I didn't buy her anything, even some underwear.

Today Summer Hullander worshiped at church. It was such a blessing.

New Year New Beginnings.

Martha married Jim Bishop at the Wedding Chapel in Ringgold. I was blessed to be asked to video the wedding and take a few pictures.

12/14 Recycling

I remembered to call the recycling place to register our new recycling bin to get rewards.

12/13 Snow & COH

School was canceled today because there was 1/4 " of snow on the ground. It seems ridiculous down here in the valley, but there was probably more snow up on Lookout.

Troop 17 had their Court of Honor and Christmas party, it was a lot of fun.

Ambition

I want my daughter to be beautiful, accomplished and good; to be admired, loved, and respected; to have a happy youth; to be well and wisely married, and to lead a useful, pleasant life, with as little care and sorrow to try her as God sees fit to send. To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing that can happen to a woman, and I sincerely hope that my daughter will know this beautiful experience.

Scrapbooking

I'm trying to scrapbook more, and have actually done a good bit lately. Thursday on the 1st, Gwen came over and I did 2 pages that day:

It's taken me almost 3 years to scrap this event. This invite has been patiently sitting in my ephemera stash for quite a while. I wanted to do some journaling, but I struggle with writing directly on the background pp, so I decided to do a bowling ball to go with the bowling pin. The one I made was green instead of the traditional black because you can get all different colored balls now. I had so much fun making the cake and frosting. You can find the directions for making one at: http://www.thepartyanimal-blog.org/bowling-lane-cake/


This is a picture of my oldest sister and our grandparents. I'm going to let her write on the tag for this lo.
