Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

paint = happy times

so i know i’ve mentioned that i’ve been working on a “faith” serires of paintings…and here are the first two i’ve done.  i’m so so so in love with them, like serious love.  the colors, the words, how perfectly they came out…everything!  the first one was inspired by a shirt i have…the second one was not quite as easy.  i struggled with what “subject” to go with…i turned on the gaither gospel hour and this is the first song i heard (one of my favs)…
let me explain this next note…you know joey moved his room over to the spare room last weekend.  well it turns out his sister misses him being in the room right beside hers.  so rather than just say “i miss you over here” she has to say it in other ways, lol.  last night we sent them to bed and heard commotion up there…then joey was at the top of the steps saying jade kept throwing the cat in his room (which made me laugh hard) and she kept throwing a ball in at him.  joe told jade to “stay out of joeys room and go to bed”.  this morning when i got up i found this note sitting right OUTSIDE his door…i don’t know which part makes me laugh more…the “not in your room” or the “ha ha ha” at the end.  she is QUITE the girl…
tonight we have cheer and football practice and this is the last night we have to sit at the school from 5 till 7:15…school starts tomorrow and he’ll just stay after school for practice from now on (thank GOSH)…we’ll still have to pick him up but at least we wont have to just sit there for 2+ hours.  also, tomorrow night is joeys first scrimmage…so please say a prayer for his safety.

~weekend recap~

i’m a horrible weekend blogger…i PROMISE once we get high speed that will change!!  it’s just such a hassle to get on the computer with dial-up…and sometimes i just don’t have the patience for it.

we had a *fab* weekend!  i took friday off to take the kids to delgrosso BUT, of course, it rained (eye roll)…sooooo we spent the day in altoona instead.  jade got to go to wacky bear which she has wanted to do forEVER…so that totally made her day!!!  we walked around the mall for a while and then headed for groceries.  we also went to lowes and got the paint for joey’s new room.  and then we had to rush rush to get joey to football practice at 5.  jade and i went to tabithas party then and joe and joey joined us later.  when we got home and after the kids went to bed i stayed up well into the night (until 2 am) working on some paintings, a new set on faith.  i just ADORE how they turned out!!!  i will take pics tonight and upload them tomorrow.

saturday morning i got up bright and early (yes, even after staying up until 2 am) and started on joey’s “new” room.  quite a while ago he decided he wanted to move his room to the spare room…it is a tiny bit bigger BUT has more outlets, more lighting and a nicer closet.  by mid-afternoon i had it painted and we moved his stuff in.  he LOVES it…saturday night the kids has a “camp out” in his new room and jade slept on his floor…i think she misses his being in the room right beside her.  i know there were many nights i would hear them up there talking to each other until one or both fell asleep…and that can’t happen now as they are on opposite ends of the house.

sunday we got up and headed to church early so we could practice our song before everyone got there.  and during church we got up and sang.  joe did an excellent job and i am so proud of him!!!  the three of us sounded pretty good together (joe, bobbi jo and i) and we’ve had lot of requests to sing again.  we talked last night and have decided on our next song, woo hoo…can’t wait to get going on that!
