Green eggs...

...and the best green eggs that have ever been made too!

On Philip's last trip up here over Christmas..I was doing some quick vacuuming and when I was done I was treated to this sweet, delightful and delicious lunch.
He is such an amazing man...and an excellent cook! I never have really liked breakfast (besides my mother....am I alone in this?) and especially not eggs for breakfast. Philip's eggs are so good that I crave them! He makes them with pesto, feta and just the right amount of spices...and they're just so good.
Oh, and that tea (I'm sort of a tea fan)...mint with rose. Or rose with mint. Either way...it's the best.
Yes, my current favorite tea. And, I need to find more because I am out and that is not good. *wide eyes*

I couldn't bring myself to use the napkin...it's just too precious.
It now lives in my journal and makes me smile.

My very handsome, marvelous darling.

Sort of random but, I just love these pictures and figured they were what this blog is for.
Happy times. *blissful smile*

Oh, and we now have our own web address...
God bless,

Christmas Day with Philip

It was most definitely the best Christmas ever.




A few pictures from our very cold yet, very, very happy Christmas day photo shoot.

We have fun. *hearts and sh'tuff*

God bless,

On the 5th day of Christmas...

...my true love gave to me...

One diamond ring!

Picture by our sweet friend, Auktweena Renner

I am so blessed and honored to be able to let you all know that as of December 18th...
...I am engaged to the one God has chosen for me...
...my amazing love, Philip Leclerc.

"Also the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I will make him an help meet for him.
So the Lord God formed of the earth every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heaven, and brought them unto the man to see how he would call them: for howsoever the man named the living creature, so was the name thereof.
The man therefore gave names unto all cattle, and to the fowl of the heaven, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam found he not an helper meet for him.
Therefore the Lord God caused an heavy sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in stead thereof.
And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
Then the man said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of the man.
Therefore shall man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be one flesh." - Genesis 2:18-24

I love this awesome quote from Matthew Henry:

"The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor our of his feet to be trampled on by him; but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved."

Ashley's wedding photos...part 1...and 1/2

...apparently I'm a goof ball and did something wrong...because THESE were supposed to be in part 1. And, now it's not letting me add them...html mumbo jumbo sh'tuff, big red marks and error messages abound...that would take me far too long to figure out so, I'll just post them as the half. Part one is the part that never ends.
(yes, that was said to the tune of...whatever that Sesame Street song is).

Again, all photos were taken by the photographer, Peter Serven.

God bless and Happy Thanksgiving! (Turkey sh'murkey. I seriously just want ribs...and a pretzel and cheese with a large glass of lemonade...)

Ashley's wedding photos...part 1 of 29,346

...okay, so not really. But, this is definitely a part 1 since I have some more I want to share but, don't have them on my lap top yet. And, unfortunately I won't be able to post them all here, there are hundreds, but, I have posted and will be posting more on Facebook than here.

These, what I'll call...ethereal pictures...were taken by the super talented Peter Serven of my gorgeous sister, Ashley and my wonderful brother-in-law, Ryan's...lovely, July 17th wedding.

(how did you like all of those special adjectives?)

Ashley is the ultimate do it yourself bride...all of this is from Ashley's brain.
She is so creative and artistic!

Ashley made all of these little signs (with the help of a friend's Cricut).

All of the decorations/props were gathered and arranged by...Ashley.

Ralph Lauren's Romance... *blissful sigh*

Awesome friends who played for the wedding.


She is so cute!



I've done her make-up bunches of times but, this was the most special and fun time yet!






Slightly, just a lot gorgeous, don't you agree?

My awesome brother-in-law...and the crooked lamp shade...waiting.

My mom showing everyone my grandparent's wedding album.
Ashley modeled her wedding off of their 1953 wedding.

My adorable niece and nephew (I have a bunch!...two on the way...really excited about that!)







All of us bridesmaids...I got to be maid of honor...awesomeness.

The perfect little flower girl angels.

Little Sophia got lost. She is too cute!



The wonderful Mr. and Mrs. McClure!




Alright, happy Sunday and God bless!
