Mrs. Lori's Art Class






After church today I was looking on facebook and was SO EXCITED to see that Mrs. Lori's Art Class had an opening today for their 3 o'clock Christmas Tree Class. It was 2:30 when I noticed the post, so we hurried. Mrs. Lori is an AMAZING art teacher that has special art classes in her home and at Hobby Lobby sometimes. The classes are small so she can give each student the attention they need. You usually have to book your spot MONTHS in advance if you want a spot. This was Brayden's first art class with her and I was SO PROUD OF HIS WORK!!! The students started with a blank canvas and created these perfect little treasures! He had such a great time and can't wait to do it again!




Grandparent's Day at Jim Stone Elem.




Brayden's school invited grandparents to be part of the kids day on Friday. It was a BIG hit :-). Pawpaw was out of town on business and couldn't attend, but Sissy was happy to take his spot. I'm sad that Sissy didn't get in any of the pictures, but she was working the camera ;-). Brayden was so excited to see them! When mom and Sissy were done at the school, we had a girls lunch at Holly's Country Cafe. The food was GREAT and the visit with them was even better!! Thank you Nana and Sissy for coming up for the day and making my little man feel so special. We love you!

Blessed X 3......

Today was my final divorce hearing, a very bittersweet day for me. Yesterday was extremely hard on me emotionally and spiritually. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that has sent me messages, texts, calls, and posts of support, prayer, and love. I truly felt it because today I woke up with a peace and confidence that I have not felt in a LONG time. I KNOW God was holding my hand and guiding my heart. I have such WONDERFUL parents, family, and friends that have stood by my side every step of the way. The outcome of the hearing was better than I could have hoped for, my boys and I are so thankful for our legal team. After the hearing today a good friend of mine stopped by to check on us and told me about a FULL TIME (YAY) employment opportunity available immediately that her friend wants me to do AND they will work with my schedule for the boys. Shortly after that, I saw that I got a child support check........FINALLY........YAY!!!! What an AMAZING God I serve!! Wow, three HUGE Blessing in one day! It really goes to show that when you release the evil from your life, the blessings have room to move in. THANK YOU LORD!!!!
