Good - bye

I've had this blog for a little over a year now and it has been such a growing experience for me. But...due to some problems I've had with blogger I got a WordPress and will no longer be posting here. I'm not deleting this blog as I want to leave what I've already done but I hope you will all visit me and my sister @

We haven't posted yet but will be doing so in the near future!

To God be the Glory!

Family Pictures

My family rarely sits down and takes a family picture. Usually it's only once a year for our Christmas cards but our Nana told us all she wanted for her birthday was a picture of our family(we don't live near each other :(
It took us a few times to get it right but it was allot of fun! I love being apart of such an awesome family!



This was our best one! It's hard to take a picture of 7 people with a 3 year old.

Individuals...I like theses. We thought we would go ahead since we were out there.

Cutest little boy!
Model!
Handsome :D
She's so pretty. My best friend.
And me...

Friends...

Two families from our church moved an hour or so away to live in the country. This weekend we were able to go see their homes and spend time with them. It was allot of fun seeing them again. Their children are SO cute!

Seeking Modesty and Femininty Part Seven

Saturday, the last day I'll be posting pictures. I really enjoyed doing it and will continue to wear skirts often. I hope many of you will do this 7 day challenge and I'll be sure to look at all your pictures. Remember as theses summer months come to fear the Lord and be mindful of our dress as we seek to please and honor God rather than ourselves(man).


I got my skirt from http://www.denimskirts.com/. My shirt was from Old Navy. What was really exciting about this shirt was I saw it at the beginning of last summer for over $20. Later that year I went shopping and found this one on a sale rack for $4! Taking the time to go through last years stuff is so worth it!


My hair doesn't curl well but I try. I wanted to try something new.

Seeking Modesty and Femininty Part Six

Friday....

I worked as a secretary at our church again today. I tried to dress nicely but wore my hair up because I live in the south and it's REALLY hot here. It was fun and Mrs. Missy, the job is going great. I love it! Still I"m looking forward to next week being slower and just spending time with Mommy getting ready for vacation.

The skirt was from the Children's Gap store. The shirt is from Kohls. If you have not noticed I really like that store. The shoes are Old Navy.
