Have you heard this song?

"I am" --David Crowder 
There's no space that His love can't reach
There's no place where we can't find peace
There's no end to Amazing Grace
Take me in with your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go, never leave my side.

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to You.
In the middle of the storm,
I am Holding on,
I am

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to you.
In the middle of the storm,
I am holding on,
I am

Love like this, Oh my God to find!
I am overwhelmed what a joy divine!
Love like this sets our hearts on fire!

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to You.
In the middle of the storm,
I am Holding on,
I am

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to you.
In the middle of the storm,
I am holding on,
I am

This is my Resurrection Song
This is my Hallelujah Come
This is why to You I run
This is my Resurrection Song
This is my Hallelujah Come
This is why to You I run
There's no space that His love can't reach
There's no place that we can't find peace
There's no end to Amazing Grace

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to You.
In the middle of the storm,
I am Holding on,
I am

I am,
Holding on to You.
I am,
Holding on to you.
In the middle of the storm,
I am holding on,
I am

Currently{volume1}

thinking | that even when things feel so hard, time passes quickly and the sun comes out and you forget those hard times so easily. Zetta has started school and I knew there would be a transition time of sickness, but it has effected all of us! We have all been under the weather, which brings cranky days and sleepless nights. But this past Sunday during church I felt such a feeling of peace come over me, and I realized that it wasn't all so bad. I'm blessed to have a family who needs me, two little babies and a husband who looks  to me for so much love and comfort. It's a good feeling to be needed, even when at times, it can be very overwhelming.

| Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong | Donna Ball 

listening to | when I am running I am listening to a lot of Usher and 90's pop radio :) But, on a normal day I have found myself turning off the TV and turning on my contemporary christian station on pandora. It just calms my mind and helps me find the good in the midst of all the hard times. 

watching | HGTV Flipping the Block, Big Brother (thank you NFL for starting so that DirectTV and channel 12 would come to an agreement. :), and Bachelor in Paradise (which I will not be watching again..not really a fan). I am excited for all the Fall shows to start back up this month!  

loving | fall, of course. I love everything about it. The weather, leaves changing, the crisp air, windows open, jeans, sweatshirts, latte's, bonfire's, football, and the list could go on and on!!

SEMO district Fair


 You know its the beginning of fall when certain things happen..football, pumpkin spice latte's, and the SEMO district fair!!! Every year my whole childhood we rode in the fair parade as a family for our family business. It is held the first day of the fair, and those are some of the best memories from growing up. This year they moved the parade to Saturday morning instead of Monday afternoon and we couldn't make it because of the wedding! I was really bummed, but there is always next year! Sunday afternoon we headed out to fair grounds! It was perfect weather so we thought we might as well go when it's not going to be too crowded! We did it all...rides (well, one ride because Zetta was NOT a fan!), funnel cakes, fair potatoes, went to see the animals, etc! You name it we did it! It was such a fun afternoon with my little family!! It's not even out of town yet and I can't wait for next year! I know it is going to get more and more fun each year as the girls get older, and I cannot wait! Next year we are going to have two little toddler's running around wanting to ride everything. Kid's make everything more fun..or at least more interesting! :)







Nora and I were getting a bit sweaty waiting on Daddy and sister looking at the animals! Plus, what else is there to do while you wait except take a selfie?!
Notice the sticker on Zetta's back from church! She will NOT take that thing off! She gets them at school also, and we usually have to transfer it to the back of her pj's and take it off once she goes to sleep! Crazy girl!


She finally gave up on me! 
See ya next year, SEMO fair!!


Mr. & Mrs. Siebert!

This past weekend one of my very best friends tied the knot! I could not be happier! Friday, myself and one other bridesmaid got our nails done and we helped decorate all day before rehearsal that evening. We had the fastest rehearsal ever, then headed out to a local winery for dinner! 

We all got up and were at the hair place by 9:30am to start the day! Bagels, mimiosa's, and some of my favorite friends of all time..I knew it was going to be an amazing day! These girls are some of my oldest and best friends. I am so happy that we have all stayed so close and were able to have such a fun weekends celebrating Tara and Michael! I didn't take as many picuture's as I would have liked because I didn't have my phone half the time, but it was a beautiful ceremony and an equally as beautiful reception! In between, the wedding party hopped on a bus and headed to one of our high school friends farm to take pictures. While the bride and groom were taking pictures, the wedding party all just sat around and caught up on each others lives!
Congratultions Mr. and Mrs.Siebert!!! You deserve nothing but the best!
