God Speaks Through Skinny Fingers

When I had Easton, I think he zapped such a large amount of calcium from my bones that my fingers shrunk. I have no medical knowledge to support this claim, but for whatever reason, all ten digits are significantly more slim. While I have no objection to daintier, more feminine hands, it does pose one problem: my wedding ring no longer fits. For awhile I tried wearing it regardless; but the first time I enthusiastically told a story, using my hands to talk, that circular symbol of unity went soaring. Cody inspected the situation and concluded that, yep, he would need to take it to get re-sized. He planned to visit the jeweler in Portland right away. I set my beautiful sparkly band, so familiar to my left ring finger, in it's little box for safe keeping. 'He won't be gone long,' I comforted my now naked ,tan-lined finger. Eight months later.... Not wearing my wedding ring wasn't doing it for me. First off, I got hit on several times by some creep...

Alright Mrs. Bolden, Challenge Accepted

Christy Bolden is a brave women, that I had the pleasure to meet through Monmouth Christian Church almost a year ago. This beauty of a gall spends her days teaching and serving others. Whether she is teaching music to a classroom of students or offering time and effort at church functions, she wears a big smile and keeps an eye out for more opportunities to help those around her. For example; young mothers that can't cook. Her bravery has enabled her to endure my crazy, baby ran, often messy home for a visit each week and teach me more about cooking.  My family has greatly benefit from these weekly lessons and I must admit, I am growing more confident around dinner time.  As a nudge of encouragement, this cookbook was left on my doorstep one afternoon. For the first time in my twenty four years of life, I went through a cookbook and recorded the page numbers of each appetizing recipe. Let's see about this slow cooker business, shall we?

A Party for Obadiah Honeycutt

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for Miss Elizabeth Honneycutt and the fresh from the womb, oh so cute, Obadiah Honeycutt. We had a fun day spoiling this beautiful mother of two. We even put the big boys to work,  as her little minions.  Here are some of the pictures capturing our fun afternoon:

Painting for Kiana

My sister-in-law, Kiana, and I have a lot in common. We are both Prescotts,  for one. We are both capable of eating large quantities of food, for two. Lastly, we both love to sing. The only difference is that when she opens her mouth what comes out sounds beautiful. For that reason, I wanted to make her a painting that reflected her gift and passion for music. More Artwork
