{1.thing}

If I could get one thing right now, only one. I know what it would be.

{pardon the google images. i can't stand them either.. but if i had this stuff than i would have pictures of them, right???}

I want it more than



a bigger and better camera...




a laptop of my own...




or a nicer guitar...

That one thing is a REAL piano.

I haven't played on a real piano for months, only a keyboard. A keyboard is good and all, but nothing can beat a piano. Nothing.

Over the weekend I visited friends and had the privilege of playing on their piano. It was so refreshing. I could have played for hours on end and never gotten tired of it...

It's so easy to take for granted the many blessings God has given us. I know that I have taken so many things for granted, a nice piano included. And there's other things like fresh grape juice, grandparents only a few miles down the road, a large yard and a property in the country with lots of acreage, and friends close by. When we lived in New York I had all of that. For me it was normal and everyday. I never stopped to think what it would be like without those things. You can never completely know how much you love something till you no longer have it. When my family moved to Georgia over a year and half ago, we left behind all that we had known for almost 8 years and stepped into the unknown, but we knew God wanted us to do exactly that. Since then God has been taking us on an amazing journey of faith and trust. I am so excited to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Now it fits. [a DIY idea]

7 belts for $.50 each[happy dance!!!] were the super bargains today!!!

I got them at a sale across the road. Most of them looked pretty nasty dirty and even moldy, but it was nothing a wet rag couldn't wipe off! All except for the 2 thin white ones that had marks on. And what did I do with those??! Spray painted them!!! Yup, one is now gray and the other is gold! I'm hoping to do {THIS} on them. (:

Also one of the belts was a little too big for me (about 1 1/2 times around). So....I chopped it off, cut the end to a point then sewed it, and punched in holes!

Take a look..

See, about 8 inches chopped off.

You really can't tell the difference unless you look close.

Thanks to my daddy's leather hole punch this job was very easy!

It fits me now!!

I love to get ideas like this from other people so I thought I'd share an idea of my own this time!

new stripey shoes...well, new for me atleast (:

You probably remember my favorite shoes that I mentioned in {THIS} post.

Well I have another pair to add!

The best part is that these super fun shoes were given to me by a friend.

I can't wait to see how they'll add some spunk and craziness to my outfits!!

His favorite page of the book: trucks!

This morning I was working at a writing assignment in my room. It was getting closer to lunch when I volunteered to keep Harrison occupied for a little while. That way mom could help the girls finish up their school(he's such a momma baby some days). I looked at books with him...he's a trip!! And I love him so much!

A quote I read during devotions this morning:

Faith sees the invisible,

believes the unbelievable,

and receives the impossible.
