Candle on the Water

first off... i HATE the song candle on the water... yup i said it! and i haven't seen "Pete's Dragon" since i was young... but last time i saw it i HATED it.

alright so i know you all have been on pins and needles to see what my chandelier in the bathroom turned out to look like! are you ready??!?!?! i am SO ready to show you all.. the ONLY bad thing about Rye reading my blog is that i can't keep any of this a surprise for him... not that it'll make it any less sweet to be HOME. oh and in case my father in law reads this... "I REALLY DO LOVE YOU AND I LOVE HAVING YOU AROUND ANYTIME!!! SERIOUSLY!" just wanted to make sure he knew i wasn't just trying to avoid confrontation earlier :)

alright here we go!!!

i would give you a "whole picture" kind of picture, but the bathroom is a MESS, and i still have a few other things to do... but isn't it CUTE!!!!

ok so this NEXT project, i've been working on for a WHILE, and i FINALLY got them hung up today! so these are the day time pictures of my back porch lighting!

HOWEVER, i just went outside to light them... and it's too windy, ya i'm a little upset... especially after i told my husband he was being a jerk for saying we should "electrify" them... haha i have a feeling he MAY win that battle :) anyway i am going to get to painting...

i just got done from helping with this funeral for a family at church, it was an ALL day thing, but i hung out with some AMAZING women and we had more than a few laughs... plus serving someone else always seems to be worth it. when you serve your fellow man, you are serving the lord. and although today was stressful, and SOO many things did NOT go right, i cannot say it wasn't worth it. so what are you waiting for! go out and serve somebody!!!! :)

Choose Faith!  Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism
