Lord, I do not always understand, hardly ever really. But you call me to live in faith, so when all seems blurry, dim, distant or even impossible, I will say 'I trust You'. I trust You. I trust You. I trust You. How could I not? I have seen you answer prayer, heal hearts and restore lives all around me. How could I not trust You. Help me to follow Your will even when all is weighing down on me.

I trust You.

Happy Anniversary

Today would have been my grandparents 56th wedding anniversary. I never knew my grandfather, Waldo, but my grandmother Consuelo (grammie) had a huge influence on my upbringing and I admired her greatly. I miss her every day.

I don't think people realize how important grandparents are. I know that I take it for granted a lot of time the years that I had with my Grammie. There are several things that she taught/stories she told me me that I still remember. She passed away when I was 10 years old.

For example, she taught me what MARTA stands for (if you are from Atlanta, you'll understand what I mean by that), she convinced me that she was a witch and when I turned 13 I would get to fly on her broom (Im still sad I never got to do that), she scared my brother to death about wooden spoons.. he still doesn't like to see wooden spoons! She taught us about the proper way to eat lobster.. with lemon mayonnaise and to eat the tomalley (EW.. I do NOT eat it).

She was a wonderful beautiful woman who loved her family dearly.

I miss her everyday. Love you Consi.

Monogramming

Ok, so I have to admit about 80% of what I own is monogrammed. I can't help it. I live in the south. That's just what we do. Monogrammed bags, purses, stationary (my favorite), baby clothes, any type of clothes, car decals (yes I have one, its hot pink), etc.

So I thought I'd share with you my favorite place to get items monogrammed.

The company, Monograms, Ltd. is owned by a family friend. She is fabulous and I highly recommend her products! She even has weekends where a certain percentage of proceeds goes to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) which is an organization very dear to me.

So moral of this post, go buy something on the website! You won't be disappointed. Besides, a girl always needs something new monogrammed!
