But before I leave for Las Vegas....

Going to Las Vegas Thursday for this.

Will be spending time with 2 lovely ladies....

Looking forward to a great weekend.

But before that, I will....

Love my babies.

Go to lunch with this beautiful girl.

Sit on the couch with my hubby.

Teach a voice lesson.

Wake up at 6:30am to do a Bible study with some wonderful ladies.

Do The Shred. (Day 3!!!)

Wash my hair.

Smile.

Learn a new song.

Talk about my awesome church.

Pray.

Drink more water.

Become even more addicted to my iPhone than I already am.

Kiss my babies goodbye.

Kiss my husband goodbye.

And get on a plane.

Looking forward to it. :)

What are you doing Sunday?

Our God is a God of 2nd chances. He's a forgiving God. He's a loving God.

All of those things are what brought me to finding Him. I am thanking Him every day for giving me a second chance at life and not walking down a path of destruction.

What do you need a second chance in?

Your marriage?

With your kids?

Your finances?

Your choices?

Your LIFE?

Come, join us. :)

Sweetness

God is so good. Incredibly good.

My birthday is not until Thursday, but my sweet husband surprised me today....

With this....

And there's more.

I was also surprised by my Momma, my sweet in-laws and Aaron & Bre. More on that tomorrow. :)

For now, I want to brag on my husband. I have been eyeing one of these from The Vintage Pearl for over a year now. He never even knew I wanted one. A mutual friend of ours that I don't believe I ever mentioned it to, that lives far away, suggested him looking at it for me. Craziness.

Or he just knows me really well.

I'll go with that. :)

I love you, Jason Christopher Powers.

My red door dream

So you all liked the 1st red.

Good choice. Me too. :) I have decided that I will paint my front door red.

I've also decided that I will try and talk Jason into painting our trim and staining our deck....and...to clean the garage out.

Okay, maybe not. It's all in my dreams that this would happen in one day. AND since it would be a dream, I would also get a mani-pedi, hire a maid and have a 2 year old that doesn't throw confetti eggs all over my house. Or wear my new red(ish) lipstick. (It's not quite red, but it's not pink either. It makes my lips look REALLY good though!)

And while I am thinking about it, I would also have a personal cook to help me lose another 35 lbs. And a trainer.

Yes, a trainer.

I would also, in my dreams, have a Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte waiting for me every morning. All my clothes would be dry cleaned and my car would smell like lavender and not like week old chicken nuggets that I found in the 3rd row of my SUV.

I would also have someone type all my emails and blog posts while laying on the couch eating delicious, chocolate covered strawberries and drinking sweet ice tea...all the while never gaining one lb.

But this is all in my dreams....;)

My front door WILL be painted red though.

Back to blogging...maybe

I hope that I can say I'm back to blogging. I love writing down all that's going on. I wish I did it more and I'm going to commit to doing it at least once a week..hopefully more.

Things are going well. Baby is beautiful. Madi is still the best baby to date. I do not kid. She is even sleeping through the night. God is merciful, I tell you!! We moved her to her crib and she loves it!

However, Reagan is not so much the BEST 2 year old ever. I have other words to describe how she makes me feel, but they wouldn't be very nice. I do not kid. I hope it really is a stage. Please Lord. I am reminding myself daily to be calm and collected. For example: Today she cracked all the confetti easter eggs in the garage I had been saving. All of them. All over the garage. Every little piece of confetti flying across the garage...every. little piece. AHHhhh!!! I did not stay very calm and collected. I tried though.

I am getting busy again. Jason is busy again. We are finding a balance though. I am learning to say "NO!" and stick to my decisions. I've decided that I want to redo my kitchen and paint my front door red. Also, I like making my bed every day and have started to do that.

Those are the most new, random things I could think of to tell you.

Oh AND that I like Casey and Paul on American Idol. I know Paul has the whole "Jack Sparrow swagger" thing going on, but I think he's a bit cute.

Which red do you like?

That is all.

Happy April Fool's Day!

I have no jokes to tell here.

But I do have a picture.

Happy April Fool's Day!
