A dress! Yipee!

We had to go shopping today (I say, "had to" because I am one of a few anomolies (sp?) of the female species who loathe shopping--yes, there actually are others :) Anyway, Ashley needs a swimsuit because she's going to the beach with the Youth tomorrow, and she doesn't have one (just in case you're wondering, I excel at procrastination ;) ). I told her I would take her to Wal-Mart and Target--that's all I was up for. Of course, we went to both stores and she didn't find a bathing suit she likes. BUT, my torture wasn't all in vain, as she found a dress she liked! She NEVER wears dresses, so I am so excited that she actually bought one. And, apparently she got lots of compliments on it, so maybe this will start a new "feminine" trend. Yeah!


Oh, what's she going to do about a swimsuit tomorrow? Her answer: she's not going to get wet. Let's see, beach, sand, ocean waves, friends swimming. Yes, I'm sure she won't so much as dip her little toe in the water ... ;)


Ta ta for now! Thanks for visiting! Yes, that's her in her new dress.

Ashley looks beautiful in that dress! Good job, Ashley! By the way, did that "errand" have anything to do with the movies? LOL!

She did look fabulous in that outfit last night at church. Very pretty on her. And it shows off her gorgeous skin tone. Lucky little girl going on 18. :)

Hey Carmela,
I just left a comment for your comment on my blog!
I wholeheartedly agree with Teena & Donna...tell Ashley she looks gorgeous...I can't believe how old she looks.
My little girlie just graduated from COLLEGE. Are we getting old??? Good luck with the bathing suit shopping...sounds torturous. :-)

Love ya!

I have to edit my previous comment. I said "lucky little girl going on 18." It actually was a play on something Carmela said about Ashley last night. She is not going on 18 - give her a few more years...:0

I did make it sound that way though...sorry.

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
