Mr & Mrs Shower

I was able to throw a small "shower" for this lovely couple. So blessed with the support of many people!
 The welcoming table
 A view of half the lawn - so many came out to show their love and support for Aaron and Hannah - so blessed we all are!
A photo booth I quickly threw together - was a big hit!
 A little side note here: this is a masterpiece for me - something I've been wanted to do for quite awhile, but anytime I have tried - had not given myself enough TIME! This right here folks (for those of you who don't know) is Croquembouche -  it's a french pastry which is made of cream puffs dipped in candied syrup and after it hardens it "cracks in your mouth" but the cream still is as delicious as ever! My great-uncle who has studied under different pastry chefs in France was there...so I was super nervous, but very excited when it turned out thus! Please excuse my enthusiasm!
A fun and random game - the guys made bouquets and then were judged - this is them posing for a picture! They all should be super proud of their work - it was so much fun watching them put these together!
And well couldn't help but share this beautiful bloom! I was so excited when I went out to the garden that morning and found that the peonies were in perfect bloom! Made for darling little center pieces on the tables!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Dear Followers, I apologize for not writing on the happenings in the last few months! Many new opportunities, many ups and downs, but through it all - there is so much to learn, and hopefully in the process He's making us into stronger people, becoming more and more like Him! December was filled with lots of different Christmas happenings, get together's, music opportunities, visitations, baking, eating of yummy food, and spending time with family!  I maybe took 3 or 4 pictures - not much to show, but will be bringing more pictures of the upcoming months!  New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w...
