20th Anniversary Throwback

Life has been a whirlwind lately with no time but in the middle of the night if I were to blog, so therefore, I have not had many blog posts lately.  However, Wednesday was our 20th wedding anniversary.  I will post more about our day later, but here is a throwback of pictures from the past 20 years.  

Tuesday Talk ~ Mother's Day

Today I am talking about Mother's Day.

These 2 beautiful girls call me mom and I am so grateful for them.

They woke me up to breakfast in bed and some thoughtful gifts.

We went to Sunday School, then went to my sister's house for our annual crawfish boil. It is always such a fun day with family.

There is always lots of other yummy food there too!

Of course, the biggest attraction of the day are these 2. 

I am so grateful for my mom, mother-in-law and legacy of my grandmothers, all of  whom love Jesus.

How We Transition Our Wardrobes

Today, I am linking up with this blog post.

This is how I have felt the past few weeks when picking out clothes for the day.... 

I feel like this is the first full week of consistently warm weather each day.  Thankfully, we don't have the humidity yet. I now spend all of my day inside, so I will escape most of the heat.  I hear that our office can get chilly though when the air is running all the time, so I keep a sweater at work for that.

Just last weekend, I made the transition of clothes.  As you could probably guess, the thing I hated to put away the most were my boots.  But, I do have summer shoes that I like and are comfortable too, but nothing like my boots :).  I can now wear my sandals and wedges since I got a pedicure last weekend too.

I like to keep some 3/4 flowing type shirts in my summer wardrobe which can be good when it isn't extreme temperatures.  I do always keep a sweater in the car in case I need it at a restaurant or movie theater, where it sometimes feels cooler than other inside places.  I usually take something with me to church as well, because we usually stay cold there too! 

So basically, my transition tip would be have a light sweater with you (unless if you're extremely hot natured!), wear comfortable clothes, cute spring accessories, and polish those toes!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

Good morning!  Here is a glimpse of our weekend...

Leah and Lucas came to spend the weekend with us.  We love having this young couple come stay with us.  Leah is like a daughter to us and we have loved getting to know Lucas, her fiance. As a reminder, we met Leah 4 years ago in Brussels, Belgium where we spent a month together. 

 Click here for a throw back of our weekend in Paris and we also spent a Saturday in Brugge.

  Friday night before they arrived,  I went grocery shopping and we had fast food for dinner.

Saturday morning, we all went strawberry picking.

After strawberry picking, the rain came, so Leah and I went to get pedicures, from which I took no pictures :(.  I wanted to do something special for her because she graduates from college next Saturday!

We spent the afternoon inside watching Kentucky Derby and we all had our picks and educated ourselves on this unique event.

When the rain finally cleared, we went to the lake and Leah and Lucas took a canoe ride. We then ate Mexican food in honor of cinco de mayo.  And in case you didn't know, Americans are the only ones who celebrate this holiday!! 

Sunday, we went to church, ate at home and then we stopped by my parents for them to meet Leah and Lucas and for Lucas to play the piano for us and talk to my dad about that, since they are both piano musicians.

The evening consisted of prep work for the new week....laundry, picking out clothes and meals for the week.  

Here we go......Happy Monday!

Anna's Engaged!

Can y'all believe it is May?  It is always a bust month as we usher in summer. 

Almost 2 weeks, my second niece got engaged to her boyfriend of 4 years.  We all knew it was coming soon, so it was exciting to be a part of their celebration!

Newly engaged!  And these 2 cuties were just the sweetest bonus to my night.
