Like an Avalanche

Happy Music Monday!! I finally get to write about another song :) While I was home in Minny my brother HAD to burn me this new CD he had been listening to because he said he thought it was amazing. Well I am very glad he did because now I have it on repeat!! It is the new Hillsong - Aftermath album that was released in February and oh. my. goodness. Wowee is it a good one!!! My favorite song right now is "Like an Avalanche". Guys, it moves my heart every single time I listen to it. The words are so powerful and speak so much truth. I just can't get over how great of a song it is!! I am currently a little obsessed if you can't tell..



Savior and Friend
Breathing Your life into my heart
Your word is the lamp unto my path
Forever I'm humbled by Your love...

TAKE MY LIFE
TAKE ALL THAT I AM
WITH ALL MY HEART I WILL LOVE YOU
TAKE MY HEART
TAKE ALL THAT I HAVE
JESUS HOW I ADORE YOU

It is like singing a love song to Jesus (which are my favoritest ever!!). And a singing commitment of your love to him.. MAN O MAN! Ok I am stopping now because I am sure you get the point :)

As we speak I am making those lemon-cranberry scones with Nana, those ones I talked about yesterday. They are smelling delicious! I will let you know how it goes :)

Have a great start to your week!!

Surviving.. :)

So its been a rough couple of days here in the Bahamas.. You know how that goes ;) No actually I was just thinking this morning that I am living in a vacation! I am loving it and finally starting to get used to the hotness. The first couple of days we were here it was not as warm as normal so that helped me get acclimated. But yesterday and today have been absolutely beautiful!! The kind of weather you expect from the Bahamas.
Most my time has been filled staying around the house and getting things done that have been on the to-do list for a while. Also I have gotten to cook some fun things and hang out with Dana's Papa and Nana :) On Friday night I made a Baked Potato Soup and some homemade whole wheat rolls. YUM!


I found the recipe for the soup at skinnytaste.com. She has some really great recipes!! Tomorrow Nana and I are going to try the cranberry-lemon scones :) The only things I would change about the soup is I would use more potatoes and less cauliflower and then add a little spice like some crushed red pepper. Mmmm mMMm!

Friday I also got to do something very  exciting for me!! A long time secret I have been keeping from you guys is that I have been working on an accessory line for quite some time now with hopes to opening my very own Etsy shop. (EEK! that will be a happy day :)) Anywho, the exciting part is that Dana's Auntie rents out a room in a salon where she does nails and she is lettting me put out a little display in there for my accessories!!! It is just a small little table so I am only putting out select items but it is the perfect opportunity to test things out. So we set it all up on Friday and.... I have already sold 6 items!! Yahoo!! Here is a pic of my very simple display.



I am very excited about being able to take this next step. :)

Saturday I went to another one of Dana's practices (I am so proud of him!!). It is fun to be able to support him and see all what he is experiencing. I have to say though... games are more interesting than practices so I am even more excited to see those!! I will post some action pics of practice later.

Today I went to my first Bahamian church service (oh boy that was an experience!). I was cracking up at the Bahamian modification of the words in the songs on the big screen. Got was gat, every was ev'ry, victory was vic'try, to name a few. Ha I knew they talked like that but didn't know they would change the display. I was lovin it. After we went to the pool and met up with some family. Then it was off to see Papa and Nana's dogs' puppies and dinner at The Poop Deck. And yes, the food is actually amazing at a place called The Poop Deck :).  This pics will also come later.

I hope you all have had an amazing weekend!
Much Love,

Extended Recap :)

I am so sorry I have been away for so long! Like normal life just fills up so fast and things have been crazy!! All I can say about this past extended weekend is OOFTA! I am very tired after it is all said and done but had sooo much fun at the same time :)

It started with Thursday... which was when my Hubby FINALLY came home!! It had been 16 days but felt like an eternity!!! I love him so stinkin much and it has been SO good to have him back home :) However he didnt fly in until 11:40pm (yuck!) so I jam packed my day with activities in order to stay distracted and oh boy did it work. In the morning I dropped of our car at the repair shop and then ran errands and got yummy Caribou with the MIL. Then we came home and I vacuumed her car then got ready for the day. After that we went to pick up my sissy-in-law and her friend from school and headed to the mall. We had to find outfits for many different occasions which took a while. I like to call my SIL a fashionista and that takes work!! After all of that we went and picked up my car then I headed home to help finish up some of my brother's wedding stuff. THEN I headed to Applebees to have some quality girl time with my cute forever friends Jillian and Sarah (who both have blogs!!). It was fun to just sit and chat. But once 11 came around I was off to pick up my hubby and actually saw his plane descending in the sky on the way there!! :) So yes, quite the day, and thats only THURSDAY! whew... Ok, breathe.... And continue.

Friday wedding stuff was in full swing because my brother's wedding was on Saturday! I helped my mom with stuff and ran errands and worked on the hair pieces that all the girls would be wearing in their hair. A lot of work BUT so much more fun than normal because I had my babe by my side <3. Then we met up with the girls to get our nails done and after that the grooms dinner! It was a great night filled with laughter and yummy barbecue :)

Saturday was an early start because the wedding was at four. We started out with getting our hair done and then normal activities commenced from there! It all went super well and the wedding was one of the most beautiful that I had ever been to. The couples' prayer was that first and foremost God would be glorified and I feel that wish was fulfilled more than anyone could have hoped for. YAYYYY! I am so happy for them and am so excited they get to experience the miracle that married life is!! <3 The wedding was also so fun for me because it was the first wedding I had been to since my own and I got to walk down the aisle with my hubby!! It was so special to me. Such an amazing day all together!!



Currently The Hubs and I are in the Bahamas (woohooo!!). We just flew in a few hours ago. It was a long day of travel, never really enjoy that part.., but we are here now and I am so excited to experience some tropical weather and scenery!! The Hubs is excited to get back to practicing with the team after being away. I am excited to watch! I love supporting my hubby, one of my favorite past times :)

Now that I have written you a novel, I will leave you with a few pics from the wedding.

My beautiful seester is modeling the hair pieces I made for all the bridesmaids :)
This is me with the Hubs and his siblings


We did a "Sister Dance" at the reception, SO fun!

Oh just dancing the night away with the love of my life <3

Me with one of the cute flower girls :)
Blessings on your week!
