monday happies…

strange…i never thought i would put monday and happy in the same sentence…and it’s not that i’m REALLY happy…i’m kinda trying to force the issue…so as not to be rotten mean by the time i get home tonight…

our weekend in review~

friday…i knew joe and the kids wouldn’t be home until around 7 so i flew home from work, grabbed some mad scrap supplies and tons of paint, some canvases and brushes and went out to our camp…i took pepper with me, just because he misses me while i’m at work and i love my little fur baby…we sat up shop and i created art for hours…with no music, just the sounds of nature…a blue sky and trees for my backdrop…and i loved it!!! i did two paintings that i am just in love with (will take pics and upload them tonight)

saturday…this was cleaning day, UGH! we hung around the house and i did some crazy amounts of laundry…i cooked a pork roast i watched paula deen make (why does mine NEVER look like hers)…we then decided that maybe we would stay out at camp, joe in the camper and the kids and i (with pepper) in the tent…BUT the whole camp in general, after dark, makes jades belly not feel well…and saturday night it made her belly REALLY not feel well…so went packed up and went home around 10:30…also on a side note, pepper is not real into sleeping in a tent…he kept trying to “dig a hole” in the tent to get out…might have added to jades belly REALLY not feeling well huh?

sunday…more hanging around the house and me trying to pretend i dont have pms, but i’m pretty sure i sucked at hiding the fact…i cooked chicken with stuffing and mashed potatoes, which was loved by all…we took the 4-wheelers out to camp and hung out for a bit…and then home for a fun filled hour of big brother…loved it

so that pretty much sums it up…it wasn’t a real eventful weekend but it was nice to just stay home and relax.

out for now

garden friends…

i was blog hopping today, as i sometimes do, and i came across one that really stopped me in my tracks. first of all, she is an awesome artist and photographer…secondly, she had a post on there that really touched me and made me think…

she was speaking of a minister and a specific sermon he gave…

He talked about how Jesus used to take a few of his most trusted friends to the Garden of Gesthemane to lay down his heart, be honest, raw and vulnerable. A
place where He felt safe to spill and be transparent. Our minister named those
friends “Garden Friends” and he went on to ask us to think about who the Garden
Friends in our life were.

so as i was reading this my wheels started turning…who would my garden friends be? who would i feel comfortable and safe enough with to bring into my garden? who do i trust with all my heart to be safe and gentle with me? do i nurture those sacred relationship and help them to grow?

so i challenge you as her post challenged me…think of who your garden friends would be…tell them how much they mean to you…nurture it, nourish it, care for it, put energy in it and watch it grow.

i have two true garden friends…and if your reading this, you know who you are…thank you for coming into my garden and letting me lay down my heart to you…for knowing when i was vulnerable…knowing when i needed to vent and when i needed a hug…thank you for being you
