Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

first day…

so today was the first day of school.  i cannot believe my boy is in 7th grade…which means he is up in the high school now (we don’t have a middle school).  he’s been on my mind all morning, i hope he’s doing well.  he was kinda nervous about today. 
miss jade is now in 5th grade and is determined to do her best this year.  seems her dad told her if she did well this year then she would get a cell phone.  thats all i need, TWO kids with cell phones!  she was really excited to go today and wear her new clothes, especially her “becky bones”…she told me once she has worn all her new clothes then she won’t be excited for school anymore, lol…
i am just in absolute LOVE with jades bag…we bought it from wonky rocket on etsy.  it’s called “a wonky owl named judith”…so love it.  and if she ever gets tired of it i’m totally claiming it!
joey has his first scrimmage tonight at 5…i’m sooooo excited for it but totally nervous.  it’s a lot different than peewee.  please say a prayer for him and all the kids playing, for their safety.  you know OF COURSE i’ll be taking pics and loading them on here tomorrow.
out for now

paint = happy times

so i know i’ve mentioned that i’ve been working on a “faith” serires of paintings…and here are the first two i’ve done.  i’m so so so in love with them, like serious love.  the colors, the words, how perfectly they came out…everything!  the first one was inspired by a shirt i have…the second one was not quite as easy.  i struggled with what “subject” to go with…i turned on the gaither gospel hour and this is the first song i heard (one of my favs)…
let me explain this next note…you know joey moved his room over to the spare room last weekend.  well it turns out his sister misses him being in the room right beside hers.  so rather than just say “i miss you over here” she has to say it in other ways, lol.  last night we sent them to bed and heard commotion up there…then joey was at the top of the steps saying jade kept throwing the cat in his room (which made me laugh hard) and she kept throwing a ball in at him.  joe told jade to “stay out of joeys room and go to bed”.  this morning when i got up i found this note sitting right OUTSIDE his door…i don’t know which part makes me laugh more…the “not in your room” or the “ha ha ha” at the end.  she is QUITE the girl…
tonight we have cheer and football practice and this is the last night we have to sit at the school from 5 till 7:15…school starts tomorrow and he’ll just stay after school for practice from now on (thank GOSH)…we’ll still have to pick him up but at least we wont have to just sit there for 2+ hours.  also, tomorrow night is joeys first scrimmage…so please say a prayer for his safety.
