New obsession...Shellac!

I rarely get excited by beauty products, but this new fad gel nail polish is so great. I have been searching for a polish that didn't chip so quickly forever! I used to wear acrylics, but got tired of breaking them at work. My mom suggested the gel nail polish-our salon uses the Shellac brand, but apparently there are a few. After a week my manicure looks like it's still new!




No endorsement implied here, I am just loving this new product find!

We're headed to Oklahoma City this weekend to see our buddy Jake Owen in concert and just have a little road trip. Pictures to come!!

New Year, New Car & a Dad Update!

So, after seven years I decided to break down and get a new car....I like commitment. And, I don't like having a car payment. But, SUVs are so much better for road trips, car seats, and other things...so it was time to upgrade. I was not looking forward to car shopping, but I have to say, it was pretty headache-free. And, I ended up getting the very FIRST car I looked at online during my week of shopping. What can I say...I know what I want! I took the advice of Dave Ramsey and bought used, but seriously, with all the warranties and things you get these days, who cares? It's new to me, and that's all that matters! It's a 2010 Jeep Compass, and I love it! It has GREAT gas mileage, lots of room and it's no big that I feel like I'm going to mow over someone. 

 

***Update on my dad's surgery***It went GREAT!!  He surprised everyone, including his doctors.  He had the surgery to remove the tumor on a Friday and was home on Monday night!  He seems to be feeling much better, although his speech is a little more slurred than it was before.  He will begin a month of chemo and radiation therapy shortly.  We know the road is still very long, but he has proved how tough he is.  We are so thankful for God's healing up to this point, and we continue to pray for good moments like we've had. 

I'm starting a new baby-gift-craft this week, I can't wait to start on it and share it with you! Have a wonderful week!

2011 Year in Review - Prestonwood

I just wanted to share this video my church put out. I am so proud to call Prestonwood my church home. We don't seek media attention, we don't do some of the more outrageous things the other "megachurches" do for publicity. Please understand, I'm not saying the other guys are doing it wrong, I'm just saying this is how we choose to do it. Make it about the message and the Word.

In other news, my dad will be having surgery to remove the tumor in his brain Friday.  Please pray for him and his doctors as they take this next step.  We don't know where the road will lead, we may get another year or another five with him....whatever it is, we just want him to be comfortable.  I will keep you all updated.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

In case you didn't know what I would be doing tomorrow night...


 

 Wishing the boys of the Crimson Tide the best of luck tomorrow!  Good playing, no injuries and most of all a WIN!!!
