"heart of the country"

My favorite day is almost hereeeeeeee!!!

My favorite holiday is right around the corner, and for the last 4 consecutive summers, I havn't been here to celebrate it. 4th of July come faster!! I'm SO excited!!!! I love randomly watching the presidential inaguration and ball... what a grand country we live in. In the US this is as close as we get to a royal couple, but in my eyes they are so much more... hard working, intelligent, graceful, generous, REAL. So proud to call him my president!

Southern Belle Cupcakes

Peaches and brown sugar cupcakes topped with brown sugar/ pecan frosting. I'll put up the recipe soon!

"You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car,  but because they sing a song only you can hear." 

-Oscar Wilde



Nothing compares.

Ah I have to share this song!
This week has been pretty crazy... and surprising. And sad. And goood. Through everything God has been so faithful and full of grace and love... never have I known the depth and meaning of when someone says "His grace is enough"  until now. I started my morning with this song and everytime I sing this the world around me just melts... this says out loud what is sealed in my heart.

May your day be filled with light♥ xo

Slowly but surely.

"As long as we are persistent in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time."

"I like waffles" is an understatement

My striclty sunday morning "Elvis Presley" Waffles.

Buen provecho!

Lead me.

Helwa awiii!

Love it.

FINALLY!

This morning I opened my door to a thud. I peered over the doorway and rested my eyes on this beauty! I've been collecting vinyls for 2 years and have been yearning for an authentic but quality record player but never got around to looking for it. Like finding a man, I imagined this is just something that takes time to find, but when you find it you just KNOW its perfect for you. So I guess mother does know best... at least with my record player preferences anyway.  This is by far the most special gift EVER... thanks mama.

My first record played: Urban Cowboy Soundtrack.(Lol...)

She's so beautiful!!!!!!!!
