Vintage Shutters

Hello Everyone I'm back to the blogging world! Here is a project I just finished and wanted to share.

I found these old beat up shutters at a resale shop for $10 and repainted them. I love them!

I am debating on distressing them...What are your thoughts?

3 MORE DAYS!

As we get ready to leave Illinois and head back to Houston for a 34 hour layover the reality of us leaving is setting in. So much time and prayer has gone into this outreach and even though we have not hit 100% funding we are believing God for the remainder of our support. Everything on this Earth belongs to Him and His glory! These last few days in Illinois have been filled with meeting old friends and enjoying family. Please join us in praying for the last few people to sign up that said they wanted to be on our support team. If everyone that said they wanted to join us in this journey financially signed up, we would be at 95%. We are so blessed by everyones prayers and support up to now and pray that God blesses you in return. We love you all and will post again soon!

In God's Will,

Ryan, Britt, and Micah

Yummy Salad

I love the Cheesecake Factory. Thye have one of my favorite salad's. It has asparagus, beets, goat cheese, and candied pecans. I always add grilled chicken. We made our version at home.

Micah 6 Months Pictures

My Best Friend Christine too these wonderful pictures of our family!

Me and my little man!

Christine did an amazing job! She captured the love between Ryan and I and the playfulness of our little boy! These are such wonderful memories!

In the Mood For a Bargain

Ryan and I were driving home one afternoon and saw this dresser on the side of the road.

I knew I could do something with this FREE dresser! With paint I already had and less than $10 later....Here is our new dresser!!!

Side view!

Middle Eastern Chicken and Couscous

My newest recipe is by Rachael Ray. Ryan loves sweet and savory meals. When I saw this on tv I knew Ryan would love it. This picture is from the food network. Click on the "Rachael Ray meal" and it will take you to the recipe.

I used golden raisins and apricots and opted not to use the olives. It was an easy and comforting meal.

Love Spring, Hate Allergies!

The past 2 weeks my allergies have wiped me out. I had an earache Sunday night and still have fluid in my ears. Did you know a couple of drops of olive oil dropped in your ear will take away earaches. I had Ryan drop it in and within an hour the pain was completely gone! Other than awful allergies I am loving spring and ready for change in so many areas of my life!!!

I have been cooking, I keep forgetting to take pictures to share with you.

But I do have to share Micah's newest picture. He is already 7 months.

Oh and have to share this one....we have a coffee lover on our hands!!

The cup was empty, Micah grabbed it while daddy was walking through the kitchen.

Can't wait to take my little man on a mommy and me date and he can get a hot cocoa.
