Alright here are a *few* of the vast array of pictures of the "happy couple" just to whet your appetites :D

For some of y'all finding a simple cute pair of chocolate heels is not that big of a deal. However if you happen to have "Really HUGE feet" as someone so kindly told me it can be a bit of a nightmare. Trying desperately to stuff your foot in to a size 8.5 while searching the 6.5 and 7M boxes for a 10 or even a 9.5W would suffice. Yesterday I dragged the happy couple ( I am doing this for them so it is only fair that they come along) and 3 sisters along to numerous shoe stores in in attempt to find something that
1. was chocolate brown.
2. fit.
3.was cute.
4. was NOT cow girl. ( I personally begged for these but they said no :-( )
and last but not least it would be nice if they were not too pricey.
We ended up finding them (thank you Emily!) at Kohls for almost half off I think.
Personally I liked the box almost better than the shoes. :)
I thought the pretty blue inside was very delicate and classy
Behold:
I brought them home and dad heartily approved of them which shows that I must be growing out of my taste for old lady shoes!
I will have to admit I was surprised at the overwhelming response to my last picture post. Since quite a few of y'all mentioned how hungry it made y'all I thought I would post some more in case any of y'all ever wanted to come over for dinner...
Step #1
Step#2
The completed product:
"Someone" made pie! Apple pie!
This is our adorable pie maker! No we don't share her, she is not for hire, and she is not of marriageable age either so forget it!
I went to cut the squash with John and he was proclaiming what a big boy he was to be carrying the bowl.
I heartily agreed with him and praised how big and strong he was.
He was thoughtful for a moment when I heard him very softly say to himself "Well, this is the bowl I puked in, but that is ok. It is fine to put squash in my puke bowl. That is just fine..."
Anyone still wana come over for dinner??
:D
Hey y'all!
This was brought to my attention by a friend and I thought I would pass it along to y'all!

This corn picture is for you, Katherine and Mark. This is the stuff y'all helped me plant, much tastier than farm town! :D

I thought I would do a little research on the story about the two young men that Paul Washer mentions in his video below. I found this interesting and thought I would share: The rest of the story!
Their names were John Leonard Doper and David Nitschman. Nitschman actually had a wife and young children when he answered the call of God. They thought that they would never return home and that they would indeed, sell themselves into slavery. But, God had a different plan. What God wants from us is to be a yielded vessel.
Here is the rest of the story:
John Leonard Doper and David Nitschman inspired their generation and generations to come to lay down their lives for The Lamb. As it turned out, neither man had to actually sell himself into slavery. The Governor of the island would not have let them. His attitude towards the black slaves there was such that to allow a white man to be enslaved would have been too much for him.
The missionaries arrived in St. Thomas in December of 1732. At first, Nitschmann supported the two of them with his carpentry vocation, but he only stayed at St. Thomas for four months. Dober tried to make a living as a potter, but there wasn't any good clay to make pots. He did, however, get a job as the steward of the Governor's household, and later as a watchman, which allowed him to be closer to the slaves. By 1734, a contingent of 18 missionaries arrived to help out and to spread the missionary work to the neighboring islands of St. Croix, St. John and others.
Conditions for the missionaries were difficult, and many of the early missionaries died. In fact, Moravian missionaries leaving Europe to go to the Caribbean missions always took two things with them: A Bible and their own headstone. There isn't any rock to speak of on those islands, and the missionaries knew that most of them wouldn't come home. And yet, they went in droves! Talk about fully committed to God's work! Dober eventually went back to Europe as part of the administrative head of Moravian Church. Nitschmann returned to Hernhutt Germany, to his wife and children later becoming a Bishop, and led a group of Moravians to form a colony in America in what is now Georgia.
And here's an interesting tidbit: On the voyage over, their ship encountered a hurricane (February 5, 1736). As you can imagine, there was a great deal of panic on board, except with the Moravian group led by Nitschmann. Instead, they sang hymns and were calm. One of the non-Moravians (an Anglican, actually) was very impressed by this. He stayed with the Moravians, and later studied with them in England. This was none other than John Wesley, who later went on to form the Methodist Church. Dober and Nitschmann's work was fruitful. Their mission field is now known as the Eastern West Indies Province. There are 52 Moravian congregations still running strongly today.

Ever wonder what you were just *made* to do?
"Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget that...
I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love and be loved by you
The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe.."
-Toby Mac "Made to love"
Normal song here
Hard core song here
I don't exactly spoil like mayonnaise, though one would think with the way I love to eat it something along those lines would happen.
It appears that I simply fulfill everyone's favorite line from Taylor swift's infamous song: "picture to burn"
"State the obvious you didn't get that complection from me
I realize I should have left you underneath that tree
So watch me strike the sun on your very white face
as far as I'm concerned you can sit out there and BURN!"
Ooookkkkk getting to the point....
"burn baby buuuurn!"
I just HAD to include the other picture.. it does not quite do the burn justice, but it has the farmer tan line (or burn line in this case!)
We had a blast at the Air show though!
:D
The worst thing is, in a few days it will be "peel baby peel" and then I will be all white again! :-( Life is not fair!
Whatever you're doing inside of me,
it feels like chaos but somehow there's peace.
And it's hard to surrender to what I can't see,
but I'm giving into something heavenly.
Listen to the whole song here.
I had this shirt that I liked...but the color was not the best on me. It was a whitish Grey with while lace trim. I decided this morning to dye it navy blue, but I did not want to dye the lace.... What I ended up with was a pleasant surprise that I thought I would share with y'all (in case someone wants to dye something!)
First I took the shirt and tied the hemline where the lace was in a rubber band type thing to keep it contained and separate from the rest of the shirt. I tied an apron string to the rubber band and attached that to the cupboard door handle above the stove so that the lace would remain above the dye in the pot while the rest of the shirt would get dyed. Ingenious right!? Well not exactly for the result I was looking for.
You see, the dye kinda seeped through the rubber band... and got on the lace..and then only parts of it were blue. and it was splotchy.
I was a little disappointed as I rinsed the shirt so I just took it for what it was and washed the whole thing in clean water. Now the residue of dye in the shirt dyed that water and consequently made the lace a light shade of the same blue as the shirt. what I did not realize at the time was that since I bunched up the bottom of the shirt when I dyed it, I ended up making a very neat tie dye hem line that matched the rest of the shirt perfectly!
Below are some pictures of the result. 
PS if you have dye (rinse) water left in the sink...try adding bleach and see what happens! In my other life I may just have to be a mad scientist.
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
-Mark Hall

I miss Mama Hutchins, She is one of my favorite people in the whole world.
If only Eric knew what was happening behind his back...
Well it is none other than Polczynski! Ben, I am still a little hurt that you ditched me like that on the way home from Bible study. :-( I guess I could always tell Joey, or Michael....
Hello gorgeous who knows how to make pie!
We ate a lot! Right Ben and Mark???
Elizabeth and Abigale...
The god mommy...
The endorphins that were produced last week are a significant factor in what is keeping us running this week.
Thank you Hutchins! We love you!
