I’m so excited about this week.  Not only am I off work but I get to spend it with my cousin from Germany.  Aint she beautiful!?

She’s going to be so throwed-off by us Southern folk. Lol! It’s my first time to meet her but thankfully, we’ve been able to stay in touch through Facebook. Tomorrow I’m meeting her at the airport. Woohoo!!!      
           
I leave you with a poem from today. Be Still. I shall update later with news of our adventures! :)

I bend, I break
You move, I shake
I can’t, awake
from this fear
from this place

With every storm and every wind
I feel frailer than I began
The skies above me roaring
I see they’ve lost their hue
Any strength that I have left in me
is the strength I’ve found in you

Be still
my heart
help me
understand
that though I feel alone
You hold me in your hands.
Be still.
Be still.

I close, my eyes
I breathe, again
I can’t, disguise
the mess of who I am

The rain that falls washes away
the troubles of my yesterday
I lift my limbs above me and
The light strikes closer now
My roots are buried deep in this ground
Yet I tremble at the sound

Will I make it through
if all my hope is in You?

Well, the in-laws left yesterday morning and we had so much fun with them while they were here.  Eli is wild and hilariously fun.  It was a big adjustment having a two year old in our house for a week.  Our home isn't really child-proof and we are used to making plans, coming and going, without having to worry about attitudes and nap times.  It was interesting to say the least.  I love that kid.  He's so sweet in nature.  When he hugged me bye this morning, he just staying in my arms for a lil longer than your average hug.  I almost teared up and it was nice to just hold him.  His mom and dad are doing a great job raising him.  I'm looking forward to our next visit. OH! My sweet sister in law made me these rings! She's so talented. :) I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!!! Do you have any favorite moments from the weekend? One of my favorite moments was my family sitting at the dinner table singing Queen and humming the Star Wars Theme Song.

The talent that is AMYLOUWHO.

Well, hello! Notice something different? Yup! I got a shnazzy new layout.  All thanks and love goes to Amy .  She's is so sweet to have taken the time out to do this for me.  I was blown away with the transition.  She has so many talents, including photography. If you don't know Amy, you're missing out so... Check her out ! Aside from drooling over my freshly designed blog, I've been preparing the house for our guests. They'll be here tomorrow!!!! I can't wait.  I'll also be cooking for them but NOT experimenting. Hahaha! I'm only using Jon as my guinea pig (btw, had a random dream last night that I owned a guinea pig. Random.).  Anyway, he doesn't seem to mind. I started asking him to grade it from 1-10 and so far I haven't been under 7. Woot! What I cook is easy to make and it's usually quick.  I would share them but the crappy part is, I don't measure the ingredients.  I don't like to. I just estimate. UNLESS I'm baking. Th

The Door

The Door , a photo by silverspeak7 on Flickr. I snapped this pic yesterday at an abandoned house near my work. Jon loved it so much and when he found out where I took it, he suggested we look around some day. It's so run down but really beautiful. There's another home, plantation style, I'd love to look at but I found out that it's not abandoned and a recluse lives there. There's no electricity or anything. It's hard for me to imagine living like that. That house is HUGE. I always imagine some horror story. Anyway that's all for today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
