Sicker than sick and heartbroken that I had to bail out of leading worship at the Women Alive Conference on Friday night. Thank GOODNESS my friend NL was able to save me (after what seemed like a million turn-downs from others...) and it all worked out. I was able to lead on the Saturday and it was a really fantastic time. I love being a wife, a mom, a friend - but at the very core of me, I am a worshipper. And that is where I feel that I am WHO I am the most.
And coming up? Well - we leave for Miami on Friday morning and are off to the Caribbean on a 7 day cruise for our 10th Anniversary. Wait. Did you see me jump up and down? NO??? Look again .... see. There. I did it again.
We're going on the Liberty of the Seas with another couple and sans enfants. Yes. It's true. No kids. And let me tell you, I adore my children. I have WONDERFUL boys. But they'll be there when I get back - and I intend on soaking up every ray, sleeping in, eating without interruption and wearing slinky black dresses for dinner *grin*. Our itinerary includes Puerto Rico and St. Maartin. Ooo. I did that little jig again.
It's been a month of holidays ... but the sad thing is, is that we have nothing planned after that. And that is such a shame - I'm getting good at packing *wink*.SO - Phoenix was LOVELY - full of "family time" and sunshine. AND I was able to get a lot of digipages done ... here are a few to enjoy.

You are so good at documenting your lives. I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you were sick. I totally understand the "worshipper" thing. It's pretty intense.
I'm so happy for you for your cruise. I'd be dancing too, if it were me. I hope you have an amazing time. I can't even fathom a few days of straight through the night, kid-less nights and days right now. It sounds like a far off dream. Enjoy every moment!
glad to hear you're feeling better! yep I'm back on the blog wagon CASUALLY. But it's been fun!
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday and happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI just came by and again am blown away by your layouts. I'm not just saying this to make you happy, but you are VERY GOOD at this! You have a great sense of colors, layout, and style! I'll be snagging some for showing off on my blog, I believe you don't mind, thanks! :)
I came here via Yin's blog and I would love to know what kit you used to do the Extreme Home Makeover LO - which is darling. I love your work and will be checking back for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!! The kit for Extreme Homemakover was called "HELLO SKY" but I can't seem to find the designer's name. I created my own photoframes, and used a grunge brush that I downloaded from Deviant. The logo I made on my own and used a watercolour brush to paint it. I didn't use a template - I couldn't find one that worked *smile*!!
