Beach Week.

We just finished up Beach Week and I am still enjoying my kids.  They wear me out but I love seeing their faces each day.  This past week my love for "The Rainbow Fish" series was rekindled.  We spent two days on that book.  We had them tear up multi colored tissue paper and paste the torn pieces on their pre drawn  fishes.  Thus, making their very own Rainbow Fish.  I think it's my favorite craft that we've done to date.  :) SO adorable.  

My co-worker  recommended a book called, "Heaven is for Real" to me the other day.  She brought her copy in today for me to read and by the end of my lunch break I had finished it.  I couldn't put it down!  It's about a three year old boy who went to Heaven for three minutes.  In those three minutes he met Jesus, his unborn sister, John the Baptist, his grandfather and countless angels.  His account is so compelling and gripping.  I'm usually very skeptical about stories like this.  Especially with the boy being that young, I was very apprehensive as I began to read it.  But, as I read I realized that there is no way that this kid made this stuff up.  I work with three year olds and I know how vast and wild their imaginations are...and this surpasses it all.  From this little boy describing Jesus' markers (what he called His scars on His hands and feet) to him recalling watching himself getting operated on while sitting in Jesus' lap.  It's incredible.  It's a quick read and I highly encourage you to read it.

As for the mandatory wedding update: ( ! )

- let me just say...I LOVE Living Social. You'll have to wait until November 5th to understand what I'm talking about. :)

- a woman at our church has a TON of leftover items from her daughters wedding a couple a months ago.  Hurricane vases, tulle, an archway, luminary bags...It's SUCH a blessing.  We are so excited and grateful because we are on a pretty tight budget. GOD IS GOOD!

- we meet with our caterer on Tuesday!

I have a couple of new music obsessions...

Easton Corbin: He's about as country as they come.  He was one of the opening acts for The Rascal Flatts concert & I've been listening to him ever since.  No shame.  Favorite Song: "The Way Love Looks." 

 Jesus Culture:  Chris introduced me to them about a month ago.  I'm a huge Hillsongs fan, I love worship music.  But, I think I may like Jesus Culture more.  Favorite Song(s): "Come Away." & "One Thing Remains."

Chris August: I have been stuck on this guy for more than a year.  He's brilliant. Favorite song: "Canyons."

I think that's about it for now.  It's nearing my bedtime, ha.  It's 8:55. When did I get so old?!  Tomorrow is Friday & payday! Aaaamen.  4 day weekend! So excited. I have no idea what Chris and I are going to do for the fourth.  Happy Weekend!

Fearlessly,
