Knightly Celebration

Friday before the 4th Justin and I headed down to Houston to join the rest of the family for a "knightly celebration" at Kason & Carlas. (my sibling-in-laws) I had been to their house the day after their wedding to pick up Kasons tux but hadn't been there since everything was unpacked and painted. They painted everything and it looks sooo good. When they moved in, they just had white walls- now they are a pretty creme color. LOVE IT!

It was raining so it didn't feel like the fourth of July celebration but that didn't stop us from eating "fourth of July food" and playing games. I love it! : )

When Mr. & Mrs. Knight & the Hameedi's went to Paris they brought us back dresses. Carla & I decided that the fourth was a perfect opportunity for us to wear them. Here we all are...This is Taylor, Me, Carla & Ragan (all my sisters-in-law minus one who lives to far away : ( )Carla & I matching

Please pardon the no make up face I have on- it was raining while I was driving so I said I would do my makeup when I got there- however, I forgot. : )

Show Us Your Life

MY 500th POST!!! AHHH can you believe it!? CRAZY!!!


Today I want to participate in Show Us Your Life. I have never done it before but it sounds and seems sun. Today's Show Us Your Life is "Your Favorite Bible Verse" However, I can not pick just ONE. But I will choose my favorite one lately...well my favorite two lately. These two verses I have leaned on the past year and continue to get me through life.

1. As you know J is gone ALOT. He works as a engineer for a oil company and has to be on the road all the time. This verse is what I tell him each and every time he leaves...

"May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other." Genesis 31:49

2. This past year (end of January) I had a close call with death. I was very very ill and we weren't sure I was going to make it. And this verse came to me as I was lying in ICU alone on Saturday night... (Saturday night is the night I pulled through...glory to God). You can read the whole story on my mom's blog HERE.

"Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalms 46:10


God's word is so precious and we should be daily intertwined in his word so we can live better as he intended us to be.
