Belated Heart's Day

     I know its a month after Valentine's Day, but I just wanted to share some of the goodness that came on account of this wonderful day.  I know there are so many people who hate Valentine's day, but I absolutely love it!  I love getting flowers and since this day is all about flowers, what's not to love!!!  My wonderful husband bought me beautiful red roses and a box of chocolate.  He's such a sweetheart. 
     I also spent a lot of time in the kitchen and made some wonderful sweets.  I made several dozen sugar cookies and sent them to friends in college.  I love decorating and so I spent several hours working on cookies and making them look good enough to eat :)  I found an amazing recipe for sugar cookies that is just divine.  They make a great chewy cookie.  I just made butter cream frosting and used almond extract instead of vanilla and it was a perfect combination.  I also made chocolate heart molds and put them on a stick.  It was fun putting a bunch of sweets in boxes and sending them off to my friends.  Here's some pics of what I made!

Time for new beginnings...

     Time has once again flown by and I haven't updated my blog in forever.  Since Christmas, everything seems to be changing.  The weather is getting warmer and flowers are starting to make their way to the surface.  My husband is slowly, but surely getting better and working hard in therapy and gaining better mobility in his knee.  We are looking to move in just a few months to our own place finally!  Yes, everything certainly has been changing around here, but there is one thing that I know will never change and that is the one and only God.
     I never cease to be amazed for all God has done for me.  There are times I'm ashamed to say I find myself asking God, why?  You think I'd learn by now that God always has my best interests in mind and He will always be there for me.  Luckily, I have a wonderful godly husband who is always there to pick me up and encourage me and remind me of all the things I have to be grateful for.  I have an amazing family and parents that care for me and love me more than I can imagine.  I have in-laws that have been so gracious and kind by letting my husband and I stay in their home till we move into our own place.  Yes, things certainly have been a time for new beginnings and what a blessing they are.
