week full of happies

so i have had a week just packed full of happies…

happy #1 ~ joe moved back home this week!!! i am sooooo super excited about this. wow, my patience and perseverance worked and He restored our marriage. sooooo many prayers answered. of course there is still work ahead but nothing we can’t handle. this is a super big happy 🙂

happy #2 ~ fall is officially here…the leaves are changing…the smell of fall is in the air…corn mazes are open…haunted houses everywhere…pumpkins for sale…i totally looooooooooove fall!!!

happy #3 ~ i totally got to reconnect with a best friend from high school who i haven’t spoken to for probably 13 – 14 years. we spent an hour just catching up as much as we could….totally cool

happy #4 ~ i have been scrapping up a storm this week…having joe in the house truly helps my mojo…here is a layout i did this week…i tried out the new 6 x 12 size and loved it. i totally see more layouts this size in my future. this layout can be viewed fully here

and to totally tie in with this layout…october is breast cancer awareness month. this is a subject near and dear to my heart as my mom battled it for quite a few years…and she won the battle! hers spanned about 1981 – 1989 i’ll say and since then she has been considered a complete cure!!! also my friend tanya (love ya girl) is battling right now…and she is going to win her battle too!!!! remember to do your self breast exams girls…your never too young. and tanya, maybe you have a few words of wisdom to share in the comments?

what??

what, this is MY little boy??? oh no, it can’t be. but he’s even…standing like a man. wow, they grow up sooooo fast. i love this pic but it slightly makes me sad 🙁

happy friday ya’all

hello all my peoples…very picture heavy post ahead (my fav kind!)

we’ve had another busy week filled with football and dance. tonight is the homecoming parade (which joey is in) and homecoming game then dance tomorrow morning. so what have i been doing to keep myself sane from all the running? how about this ~
yes, i’ve been dressing pepper up in his halloween costume just for pure entertainment purposes. this year pepper will be sporting the bumble bee costume, complete with anteneas on the hat. funniest thing EVAH!

and i’m pretty sure whatever “naughty” thing he did right before i took this pic was paybacks for the previous picture.
turns out the guys at work find this WAY more funnier than i do. yes, i bought the shirt at walmart…yes, it’s the only store we pretty much have in town…yes, i bought it in the mens section…no, i never envisioned me and ANOTHER GUY wearing them on the same day. and i’m pretty sure he set his on fire when he got home.
i have also started doing the “deck of me” challenge by emily falconbridge….LOVE it!!! she made a pouch for her cards that i totally loved. this is my take on the pouch.

and here are a few of my cards ~

out for now
