She reads truth- so glad I found this devotional for women, I enjoy it daily.
Hosea 12:6
So you, by the help of your God, RETURN, hold fast to love and justice and wait continually for your God.

Warning: You may think I am a bit weird after reading

Went for my regular run today. my favorite part- the large cow pasture I get the pleasure to run by. I love, LOVE, love cows. They are adorable but my favorite is the way they smell. Yep. you did not read wrong. I love the way they smell. Manure, i dunno, but they please my senses. Told you, you may think I am weird now haha. When we sold our last house I was sad to leave the cow pasture that was right down the road from us, because I could smell the cows from my yard when the wind was just right.
but all is fine in the world because now I have the large cow pasture that I get to run by. I dont know why I love their smell, i just do.
Aunt Margie and Uncle Ice (thats his nickname. long story and you would have to know my hubby and his side of the fam to fully grasp why he is named Ice) but they got me a cow car freshener a few summer's ago and I was really hoping it would smell like them but it didn't. So if you all ever find any let me know.
Did you know though they actually can bottle the smell of cows. I researched and they do have their scent bottled. haha Freak I know!
Now that you all are thinking im ca-ca-crazy, here are my lovely cows that i have pinned since I can't really put real ones in my backyard. Live in a subdivision with neighbors too close for cows. Some day though we will find our way to the south and have a barn like this with some land big enough for papa cow, mama cow and a baby cow.
Pictures from my pinterest boards.

Rain. rain go away, come again another day....or wait awhile. So the rains of April snuck in, snuck in so much that our 1 year old finished basement flooded. I must say it wasn't a terrible, terrible experience. God brought greatness from this event. Nothing was majorly ruined. Carpet went bye-bye, entertainment center went bye-bye. Insurance though has came thru for us, so we are choosing to go ahead and start the remodel process. Hubby misses his man cave. I wouldn't technically call it a man cave(he let me decorate down there, so it is pretty girly still). I am excited however to kind of get a second chance to change/rearrange a bit. We have our plans rolling through our minds now, all the pictures are from pinterest, they represent our ideas for the new design of the basement. I will, after we get moving and grooving on the basement post our actual pictures we take :) Let me know what ya'll think!
Have a good weekend ya'll :)

the simpler life
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Good Morning! It's officially the first of May, I am going to challenge myself to write a post a day in May. Key word- challenge- meaning defeat will probably conquer me in this quest, but a girl can try riiiight??? I love the month of May, it brings Summer just that much closer and that always is a great thing. Summer holds some of my best memories...my birthday, my mom's birthday, spending summer's with my grandpa Carter (now in heaven) and my granma Carter- swinging on their porch swing making mud pies and eat dilly bars :) Yes I said dilly bars, plural. I eat a lot of ice-cream, anyone who knows me truly, knows my ice-cream addiction. My Grandpa knew me all too well - he always ALWAYS had his fridge stocked with ice-cream for me. Thanks Grandpa! ok where was I at...oh yea.. Summer memories- I met my husband in summer, June 22nd to be exact, we also got engaged in June 5 years later :) so my love for summer is legit ya'll, and the weather rocks my world as well.
What I am really here to do today is share my love for my granma Carter- my dad's mother. She is a simple, wonderful lady, she is beautiful inside and out. Her simplicity intrigues me, because I am not simple, wish I could be more simple like she is, but does this trait come as you grow older and wisen up a bit? I dunno but i want it to happen to me. She finds beauty in birds, squirrels, her yard and especially the flowers that consume it. Her house is simple, but filled with love. she and my grandpa used to have a large garden, strawberry fields and much much more, as kids we would help with garden, picking corn, shucking it, searching for strawberries and eating them right there as we picked them. these memories will last a lifetime. I love the simplicity that she is, she makes life enjoyable and shows us whats important. anytime you go out to her house, you leave kinda like you leave church- or at least for me its that way. happy, uplifted, content.
My granma - she is beautiful and I love her dearly. i dont get out there to see her as often as I should, and she lets me know that. no worries. she has gotten feisty these days. in a good way :)
P.S. just noticed this is my 100th post!

Oh and one more thing.... she has 3 boys, one being my daddy, and she has 3 grandson's, two being my brothers, and two great-grandsons, my nephews' and so I am her only granddaughter. I always knew she had a soft spot in her heart for boys, she loves her boys and the grandson's- so me being a girl kinda threw her off haha, but she thinks the world of me still and I do the same of her (boys are her favorite tho) hehe
with that being said my younger brother Austin, married a girl named Rae and this is her above with granma Carter, now my brother is the youngest grandson of hers. even softer spot for him in her heart. ahem. favorite. ahem. :) she goes on and on and on about him every time i see her which makes me love her more and him too. but my point is that Aud married Rae and she immediately stole my granma's heart. Aud chose well and granma knows it.
the end. :)
