A Visit

This past weekend, Derrick, Amanda, Riley, Shelby, and Maggie came to visit. It was tons of fun as usual. Kenzie ended up staying the weekend with Yaya and Pappy since Shelby and Riley were staying there too. They painted pumpkins, went to a pumpkin patch, painted each other (really funny I will have to put a few pics on here), went to Target, the part, etc. I don't even know what all they did really because I was working, but all in all they all had a wonderful time from what I gather. Today is our 6th anniversary, but the only person (including us) who remembered was Carol and Roy. She called to see if we all wanted to meet for a celebratory dinner and we were like "for what?" and then it clicked! Early onset dimentia if you ask me! So we ended up taking the girls to Yaya since Pappy wasn't home yet and we needed to have the kiddos home for bed time and it was getting late. Ryan and I went to Chili's and had a good dinner, then back to pick the kids up and off to home for bed. We missed a call from Shelby since I forgot my phone at home. I guess Kenzie will have to try again tomorrow... And that is about that.

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
