photo cred goes to heather. :).

today i am loving...

one. my keepcup i got for christmas.



















two. the ring i got for christmas.




















three. the fact that i still have christmas presents to give.

















four. cupcakes from whole foods.

:).

what are you loving today?

a thought.

these two verses are on my mind right now...

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

1 john 5:14

over the past two days God has really shown me how powerful prayer is and how good it is to just trust Him and He will take care of absolutely everything. He sees the big picture and we don't. we have got to remember that.

 He has showed you, O man, what is good. 

       And what does the LORD require of you? 

       To act justly and to love mercy 

       and to walk humbly with your God.

micah 6:8

this one i was just talking about with my friend heather. people just have to make things so complicated when really following God is so much more simple than we have caused it to be according to this verse.

thank You God that You always are there, You always hear, You always are patient, You always love, and You always forgive. You are so good. thank You.

merry christmas.

 i hope everyone has had a nice, peaceful day celebrating Jesus' birthday with family and friends. yay for a break from everything!.

little chest of drawers.

finally!. my mom and i finished this little dresser! my mom painted it grey and switched the knobs. and then i painted the tree. it turned out pretty well if you ask me!.

and another party.

a couple nights ago was the second christmas party of year. this one, two of my friends and i hosted. i baked. and baked. and baked. soooo much for it. it was fun though. :).

  then when i got to heather's we tried to make a lederhosen man...

he was cute at first....

but then...we put him in the over too long. :/. 

and he was still cute...just fat and rock hard.

then it was on to the main course, eggplant lasagna. sooo good.

oh! and these were labels i made for everything. :).

and here was my outfit. haha...

i try to be lovely. :).

then here are some of the things i baked. i love baking.

the cupcakes were by far my favorite....anything chocolate mint is my favorite.

and this one definitely isn't a dessert. but of course we just had to have sweet potato fries. :).

so even though some people couldn't come because it had snowed that day the party was super fun and i'm glad it was able to happen at all.

a new little town.

so this year. i decided to make all of my friends little bird houses for Christmas. they turned out a lot cuter than i thought they would..which is good. :).
