My Life :)




Seven Years ago My life began. I fell in true love for the first time, and everything that I thought or knew about life came to a halt and my heart and eyes were open to all that is real in this world. Seven years ago I became a mother...I was blessed with the absolute most beautiful amazing little person. God truly had plans for my life far greater than what i had planned..To say that Gavin has enriched my life would be an understatment. He is my Life. ...I cherish every moment that I've had with him and look to the future with mixed emotions...I so dread him getting older and growing on into his life but I'm anxious to see the plans God has for him. Gavin I want you to know that you are so very loved. you are my heart. Watching you grow everyday and evolving into the little man that you are has brought more love and joy to my life than you could ever know. You are so very special and unique and I thank God for letting me be your mommy!"



Tomorrow Gavin starts first grade! Im so excited for him, yet nervous too. I hate being away from him during the day but I love knowing he is learning new things and making friends. Please pray that we have another successful year! First grade, here we come!!

Summer Greetings!

Well time simply has a way of getting away from me! I spend quite a bit of time on other blogs but cant seem to find the time to keep up with my own! Hopefully that will change !
Summer here in central ky has been long and hot! So ready for the change of seasons. Im seriously yearning for fall! My sweet lil boy is getting ready to start first grade August 5. It is a bittersweet time for me. I am excited to see what this school year brings for us but Im sad to let him go again.
I dont know how much longer i can hold out on dragging out my fall decorations. I cant wait to see all the beautiful colors and all the excitement fall brings! But I anxiously awaits falls arrival, I thank the Lord for another beautiful summer. Regardless of what the rest of summer brings to all of you, I hope you are Blessed!

A Few New Treasures!

Here are a few things I picked up at the great little prim shop my momma and I went into on Sunday..

For some reason I was drawn to this little dress. It reminds me of something a sweet lil prairie girl would wear on a hot summer day..It will eventually end up in my bedroom on a peg rack with other lil garments..
I also got this great sampler..The picture itself is darker than I like but I have wanted one for some time and I love it! These are a few things I picked out for my spring displays...I cannot wait to start decorating for the warmer months once we move..But for now they are packed up waiting for the move!

I hope you all have a Blessed Tuesday!

Happy Monday..!

The weekends just dont last long enough...nor does the sunshine...yesterday was simply wonderful..the weather was BEAUTIFUL, the sun was just so warm and refreshing it just didnt stay around long enough..As I got up this morning to take Gavin to shcool..it was grey and misty..not my idea way of starting the week...Ok back to my wonderful sunday..my parents live about 70 miles away from me so my time with them is very limited...but yesterday we spent the whole day together and it was much needed...We had a wonderful lunch together and I got to spend time shopping with my momma..we went to one of my favorite Primitive shops ever and we loaded up ...I had to indulge (the weather made me) in some new primitive pieces for Spring! I cant wait till its actually spring and I can put my new stuff out..If you cant tell Im having serious warm weather withdrawls..Whenever I get my camera charged up I will post pictures of some of the great goodies I got! I hope all of you have great and blessed Monday!

Im Back...

Well, I really did intend to keep up with this blog idea, but time has simply just gotten away from me...Ill try to do better next time!
Here in Ky, winter just seems to keep hanging around. we have had more snow than i want to remember. The days are long and cold and some days just down right depressing..But today was an exception..Im not sure what the temp got up to but it was so warm, Gavin and I went out for about two hours and I was so refreshed. Thank you Lord, for this wonderful calm day! I know spring will be here soon and I cannot wait to see the beauty that I know is only created by my wonderful God. I go to bed at night thinking of the flowers waking out of the ground and the birds singing their praises. I so cannot wait to feel the warmer sunshine and get back to gardening..Love, love my flowers! Hopefully, by the time I am able to buy a big pot of Impatients (my favorite) we will be in a new house and be settled...we are moving ...eventaully...and I cannot wait to decorate something new! I need a change!
I want to thank the Lord for being so loving and protective this week..I know he is all the time, but this week I really felt his grace! He was with Gavin, Chloe, and myself when a truck drove into the back of our car and other than being scared out of my mind, my children were spared from harm. Thank you Lord for watching over my babies! He has also nursed Gavin back health after a nasty stomach virus came into our house..Lord, I LOVE YOU and am so thankful for you blessings!

Until next time,
Shawna
