A goodbye for now.

Hello blog world! Many of you will not be surprised by what I am about to say since I have not posted since February, but I have decided it is time to close down my blog. With life picking up it has unfortunately become more of a hindrance than a blessing and as much as I love being connected with you all, it is time that I moved on. I just wanted to say thank you for all of your sweet friendship and support over the last year. I am so grateful for the relationships that transpired and were strengthened through this blog. Also, I am not disappearing, I will see be checking to see what you all are up to. So, keep in touch! :)

With much love,
Breanna Mae

Loving Life

I had a great weekend with the Hubs. When we got married I thought the feeling of always wanting to be with him would eventually start to wear off but man was I wrong! It has just gotten stronger and with school and work in full swing our time together has been cut down significantly. I was more than happy to be able to get to spend all weekend with him. We did have to spend a lot of time doing work but at least it was together right?! Another great bonus is I got to sleep, a lot.  I had no idea how tired I was!! My body was loving the extra rest.

This coming week we are going to be celebrating Love Day ;), doing lots of homework, and getting ready for our long weekend trip to Raleigh/Atlanta!! It will be very busy but very great and I am excited about being able to mix in a lot of fun stuff with work. :)

Lastly, here is a glimpse of what our Valentines Day will consist of.

We are going to make spring rolls! I am very excited about this since the Hubs and I both adore fresh spring rolls.


With some nummy peanut sauce to dip it in. I found this recipe from Suzannah over at Adventures in Dressmaking.


And then for dessert we are gonna have some chocolate turtle fondue with fresh strawberries, sugar cookie thins, and marshmallows for dipping :)


We are planning on just relaxing and enjoying each others company. We might pop in this movie.


A love classic ;) I hope you guys all have a great V-day with your loved ones!!

A little fun :)

No Music Monday today. But I do have lots and lots of picture to make up for it :) In September my friend had a big costume party for her birthday.  I wasn't so sure how into it everyone was going to get but I was not gonna let that hold me back! I like dressing up as a couple with the Hubs and since he had already figured out what he wanted to be that made my job a little more simple...at least in theory.

So here we are...


Look Tinkerbell was there too! Ha
A woopie cushin and an a Happy Wife air freshener. :) For those of those that can't see it, I choose Fart-Masking Scent as my aroma I chose. I ended up sewing that sucker together a few hours before the party (nothing like pro-castinating!) and yes there were paint streaks because the letter were still wet when I was sewing. Lol

When we got to the party we were pleasantly surprised that everyone else got super into the theme and there were some really great get-ups. It was a super fun night and I would definitely do it again!

You can't have a southern party without a redneck! Ha 
What! Pippi!?

A cook.

And there is his bun in the oven! :)

A Q-Tip and Viking Wife.. quite the duo

Eeek! Curella Deville!

Bumblebee :)

With Bam Bam

And with her Flapper momma

A ninja!

Me with Tinkerbell.

Cruella and Tink 
Woopi and IronMan flexin it. ha

The Hosts. Cinderella and Prince Charming with their Pumpkin!

Dr. and Doctress ;)
Happy Monday friends!

Light of Your Face

Can you tell I listen to Jesus Culture and Hillsong ALL. THE. TIME?!? Ha I love them, their passion and their annointing. I can't get enough!!

This week's Music Monday is "Light of Your Face" by Jesus Culture. To me it speaks of the pure love that we are able to have with our God Almighty and just the simplicity of having a heart that is fully after His. To me, it is a great picture of a son or daughter that longs to have whatever the Father has for them.



Today I just want to encourage to experience all that God has for you. He is doing amazing things now, today, and wants you to be a part of his awesome plan. He is sooo good!!

On another note I just want to share a gown from the Golden Globes that I am LOVING. I think the sleeves are just perfect and you just can't go wrong with tan right now. Isn't is just so romantic?!


I think Julie Bowen made a great choice.

Much Love,
Breanna Mae

A little late...

So I am writing about our church's Christmas Party!! that may or may not have happening over a month ago.... :/ But that is besides the point because I have lots of pictures which I know you all love :) It was a night full of yummy food, skits, and friends. What is better?! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the part where we got called up on stage to reinacte the love story of one of another couple in the church. Maybe that was because I tried to suppress the memory of my husband pretending to assist me in giving birth to a baby.. Yes, that actually happened. Lets move on..

Being weird.. Like normal

YUM

Ms. Teresa in her real fur. oh yes

Our Friends :)

Yes those are men. Have you ever seen White Christmas?

How lovely.


Our pastor and his wife opening a gift.



Me and Jessica :)

Chatting.. obviously its a super good story

Some of the girls.

Creative friends!!

LOVE him.


It was a really great night. Soon I will be sharing photos from The Hubs' family surprise visit following Christmas!! :)

Much Love,
Breanna Mae

New Song for a New Year

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012!!! I can personally say that I am so excited about the transition into this new year and what it brings along with it. Last year was no doubt a great year. The Hubs and I grew in leaps and bounds and are not even close to the same people as we were a year ago. Our Savior has done amazing things in our lives and He is molding us into the followers that he has called us to be. We are determined to keep running towards Him and we have complete faith that He is about to start doing even more awesome things not only in us but in the world as well.

On that note, this Music Monday's feature is a song we often sing at church and as we were singing it yesterday I couldn't help but feel like it was a great depiction of what this new year is able to bring us in Christ. I can't even begin to explain the freedom that the Hubs and I have found in the Lord over the last year and we both feel like we have barely scratched the surface. He is so capable of breaking every chain and every stronghold that the world tries to put on us and then uses that to make us more and more like Him.


Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is hope.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is healing.

And your blood is enough to break every chain.
And your love is enough to break every chain.

I encourage you to not look back at hurts and disappointments but instead let the Lord heal your wounds and move forward. With that "we will not be the same". It is ridiculous what we are capable of in Him and I am telling you it is awesome and ever increasing!! The Hubs and I are not looking back and are confident in God our Father and the blessing that he is pouring over our lives. I am so excited what I get to do for His glory in 2012! Bring it on!! :)

Happy Monday :)
Breanna Mae
