Soaking it up!

This is my last week of summer and what I have been calling "appointment week". I really have an appointment every single day. Even though I'm a little bit busy, I am soaking this week up!

I went to school for 1 hour today...and I planned to stay all afternoon. 1 hour. Haha! Maybe I'll do better tomorrow?

I got to lunch with one of my sweet former students and her incredible mom. So fun! Last year we met at Chick fil a. Lilly chose Beef O'Brady's this year and already knew that she wanted to order blackened fish days ago. Isn't that the cutest thing?

She brought me Mayhaw jelly. Precious!!!

We met for an early lunch because she had dance camp this afternoon. She asked to skip camp and come home with me. Be still my heart! I am brimming with joy from my little lunch date! Thank you Lord, for letting me touch people and show them love in my job.

I am excited about adding patterned pillows to my red couch upstairs. I started with some black and white chevron ones! I'm in love.

I need a lamp and a fun accessory for my new desk....but this is how it looks now!

Two new chalkboards were added to our collection yesterday. Again, using things found around the house. If you bring something near me, chances are it might get sprayed with chalkboard paint.


A few weeks ago we painted an old end table that has been sitting in our garage for a few years. I think the curves of it compliment the scalloped bedding. I moved our Happy Everything plate into the room and I love the little pops of color that it adds to all the cream and white.

How adorable is this golden?


I have been listening to Still by Watermark all summer long. Then all of a sudden the lyrics at the end of the song became my exact prayer. How did I miss them the first million times I listened to the song? They are beautiful and Christy and Nathan took the words right out of mouth. I feel like the Lord is bringing closure to my summer of rest, because I have surrendered everything to Him and been faithful!!!! Finally!
