  • New ideas.
  • Wedding pictures.
  • Priya and Rachael–what gems!
  • Pulled pork. Yes, please!

  1. Just love you and your wonderful thoughts of all the blessings in a day. So many people count what they think went wrong with their day, never giving a second thought of what what was good.

  2. how great is our God? 🙂

    I also got a pedicure (and manicure) a couple of days ago! It was nice. 🙂 I rarely ever have my nails painted… the last time was at my wedding in August! My husband got me a gift card on Valentine’s Day to get a mani/pedi and I finally used it! 🙂

    have a wonderful Sunday!

    p.s. chocolate-covered strawberries are DELICIOUS!
