About Me

I'm adventurous when I want to be, but I'm just as happy watching a movie at home. I'm married to my best friend who makes me laugh on a regular basis & a son that makes me happier then he will ever know. I strongly feel that the most important thing in life is your relationship with Christ and your relationship with others.

Let It Out!

Sometimes you just need to do something creative. I used to be way more creative then I currently am. I would make little scrapbooks, paint or unwind in the dark room. Life should never be too busy to do the things you enjoy.

Wanna know an ugly truth about me?
I have little confidence in my abilities. When I find someone that is better at something than I am, I slowly start to not do that thing anymore. And guess what--there is always someone better! I sound crazy, I know. It's almost like I tell myself "what's the point? X is better at it..leave it to the pros."

Yesterday I was in a room full of ladies that can scrapbook better than I can, but was reminded you don't have to be the best at something to still enjoy it. Why do I feel like I should have learned that in pre-school!?

We ate, had some great fellowship and released or creative juices for awhile. It felt great. I've missed that! I have a feeling it won't be long before this happens again!

What a fun party! I see all those supplies and break out in hives at the thought of scrapbooking. Oddly, I LOVE, L-O-V-E paper of all kinds.

And side note, that picture of Steph is gorgeous. Rockstar.

Woohoo!!! So fun... and to think that this came about because of our little book club :) And I definitely think you're so good at all things artsy, friend! Don't be humble about your abilities... You're awesome!

I'm right there with you. If I find that someone is way better at something, I just shrink up and regress. It's nice to know someone else thinks the same thing (even if it's not a happy thought). Looks like you girls had fun! Please tell Stephanie she looks great!
