So what started out as "let's stop by Home Goods store to see what they have" turned into an afternoon of rearranging. Jim and I have been looking for some art work to finish decorating our living room and dining room. Jim had seen some ads for Home Goods so we decided to stop by and ended up buying some art. I think I may have found my new favorite store. They have so much cool stuff at good prices.

Once we got home we couldn't decide exactly where we wanted to hang everything so Jim suggested we re-arrange the living room. Every so often I like to rearrange/redecorate because it gives me a feeling of something new. Most people that know me know that I don't like keeping things the same for long periods of time. We now have access to our fire place which will be really nice as the weather starts to cool down.

Earlier in the day we made a trip down to El Cajon for my best friend Andrea's sons' dedication at Gateway. I am excited to see what God has in store for Corban's life. He has blessed Corban with two amazingly godly parents that will help raise him and lead him in the right direction.

Since my nephew Elijah lives out of town, the next best thing is my "nephew" Corban. In addition to being part of this speacial day with Andrea, Reggie and Corban, Jim and I were able to see some friends we hadn't seen since we left Gateway to find a church closer to home.

My Worst Fear

My worst fear in starting to blog has come true.... forgetting to update. Life has been busy but we are enjoying every minute of it.


Earlier this summer Jim and I decided to the leave the church we had been attending the last couple of years and look for a church closer to home. We wanted to get connected more in our community and meet new people. After looking at a couple of churches, we decided to make The Church at Rancho Bernardo our new home. We really enjoy the pastor. Jim has been going to the men's group and we are joining a small group for young marrieds. This is something we have been looking forward to for a while now.



While Jim is at the men's group, Maddux and I have been getting together with my friend Vivian and her dog Roxy for playdates. What started as just a playdate has now turned into a playdate for the dogs and devotional/fellowship time for me and Vivian. Usually I am not one to just start talking to random people but about a month ago while at the dog park I noticed Vivian's sweat shirt that had a verse on it and said "Sin is dead" and decided to ask her about it. We started talking and I found out she was a Christian and goes to one of the churches that we checked out. It's nice having a friend nearby that shares the same beliefs and provides encouragement. You should check out her company's website, crossrocktv.com. Below are some pictures from Maddux and Roxy's playdate.

Guess who the agressor is?

Poor Roxy wanted to rest but Maddux wasn't going to let her

Now I am not one to show off my undergarments but for a good cause I will. A good family friend of ours is taking part in the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk here in San Diego in November. Her team held a "Bling Your Bra" fundraiser last night to raise some money. We used swarovski crystals to bling out bras, undies, shirts, tanks and hats. It was a good time for a great cause.
