What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!!!  Today is what I'm Loving wednesday!

I'm Loving... that the movie Safe Haven comes out tomorrow.  I'm a BIG fan of Nicholas Sparks, I've read the book and I hope that I'm not too disappointed by the movie.  The book was awesome, read it in 2 days.

I'm Loving... that even though my kids are 26 months apart in age and separate genders, they are best friends.  I took this picture the other day of them working on planning their schedules for next year.  I love that they get along so well.  I have truly been blessed!!!

I'm Loving... how well Jonah performed last night at the Mason Dixon qualifier for track.  He ran a 10:33 PR in the 2 mile.  He looked amazing!!! I snapped this picture of him and Rascal on the couch asleep after we had supper last night.  Since I was working the gate and it was dark when he ran, I didn't take any pictures at the track.  I know I have to get better, at one time I was, in fact I think I took too many.

I'm Loving... that tomorrow is Valentine's.  Hubby and I don't do anything elaborate but I do fix a nice dinner for the family always eating in the dinning room with the china, yes this possibly the third time during the year that we use the china.  We started this tradition when the kids were little and it was easier to stay at home then find a sitter and fight the crowed restaurants.  Here's a little sneak peak of my dinning room table decor. 

What are you Loving on this Wednesday????

Happy Wednesday!!! Today is what I'm Loving wednesday!

I'm Loving...   a good trip to Home Goods, unfortunate for me, the closest one is about an hour and a half, not very convenient.  So a couple weeks ago while visiting my sister in W.V. I made it a point to stop at Home Goods.  That's where I found this adorable owl tea towel and picked up a couple white plates for my dining room wall.  I also bought this clear apothecary jar for my cotton balls since Phillip broke the lid to ours back last summer and I found this white porcelain jar on clearance (gotta love that).

I'm Loving... that I don't drink carbonated drinks but I love sweet tea (decaffeinated) and now I am hooked on cranberry juice and cranberry grape juice, trying to buy the kind with the least amount of sugar.

I'm Loving... this Jade plant that I recently bought, I'm so ready for SPRING!!! 

I'm Loving... this lantern that I bought at Hobby Lobby with the gift card that my MIL gave me for Christmas.  I've been eyeing them since last summer but couldn't bring myself to spend the money on it, so when I received a gift card to Hobby Lobby at Christmas, I knew exactly what I was going to buy.

I'm Loving... Rascal....of course!!!!  Everyday when I come home from work he wants to play ball.  He'll bring you his ball until you cave and play with him. 

What are you LOVING this Wednesday???  Hope you have a great day.

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'M LOVING my new basil plant.  I love fresh basil.  I love it on a hamburger, I love it in bruschetta and I love the SMELL of it!!!

I'M LOVING that the kids are enjoying the pool.

I'M LOVING that we are finally cleaning up on all the leftovers and extra food from our out of town family last week.  I thought I was planning so well. I made a menu, did all my grocery shopping before they arrived and I think I bought too much or maybe I just planned on us eating more then we did. Ha! 

I'M LOVING that school starts tomorrow, even though I LOVE summer break and the lazy days!  I love the routine of being in school.

What are you loving????

By day the LORD directs His love,

at night His song is with me—

a prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 42:8

Happy Wednesday!!!!!! Today is what I'm Loving Wednesday!

I AM LOVING my chocolate walls in my dining room and how they really makes my white plates POP!  I just recently painted the top of my chair rail this coffee bean from porter paint, below the chair rail has always been this color but I was hesitant about painting it all the the same color.  I'm now glad that I did!!!

I AM LOVING my collection of crosses hanging by the backdoor.  I already had the big one (the one on the right) but I moved it here when I was lucky enough to purchased the other two for $0.99 each at Hobby Lobby the other day with their summer clearance stuff.

I AM LOVING the new pot for my ivy in the hall bath window, I love live plants in the house.  I especially love the black ribbon that I tied around the pot, it goes well with the black and white theme in the bathroom.  Isn't it funny how a simple thing like a ribbon around a flower pot changes the look of it.  Now maybe my Ivy will perk up.

I AM LOVING that I finally found a muscle recovery drink that both kids like and will drink.  They run so many miles everyday that their body needs this immediately after every run.

What are you loving???

...according to Your love remember me,

for You, LORD, are good.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Hello Friends! If you don't know, I'm a list girl, and I love this little random what I loving Wednesday list.
 

I'M LOVING how my purple wave has grown over the past couple days with the watering that it has received from GOD.  It was really starting to look sad and puny, now you can hardly see the planter that it's in, which by the way was my mother's.  I have two of these planters that my father gave me after she passed away both of which I have on either side of my front steps and each year I plant wave in them.

I'M LOVING  Frost Riptide Rush Gatorade right now.  I have never been a fan of Gatorade, at all until a couple of weeks ago when it was 109 degrees and we were working in the yard.  Now I love it!!

I'M LOVING afternoon swims in the pool with this guy.

I'M LOVING that it's Wednesday, if you haven't figured that one out, only two more days and it's the weekend, Hallelujah!!!

I'M LOVING this guy and the way he "thinks" he's our protector when we are in the pool.  He watches the kids as they play, especially if they are "horse playing".  He watches them as they swim under water and follows them from the side of the pool.  It's too cute!  He does jump in, when he gets worried or over excited.  When he is wet he looks for a towel and if his towel gets too wet, watch out, he'll look for yours.  YES, he is spoiled!!!

I'M LOVING that my hair is finally long enough to pull back, my hair takes forever to grow!!!

I'M LOVING all the rainy days that we've been having.  It's been dry for so many weeks that it's nice to finally see everything back green again.  Plus, I LOVE rain, the smell of rain, the sound of rain, I even love a good storm!!!

I'M LOVING the rainbows that I spot after a good rain. 

I'M LOVING the new ornamental grass that we just planted around the pool deck.  It's called Gold Bar Miscanthus and it's suppose to have burgundy blooms in the fall.  My first choice was to plant Indian Hawthorne here and I was pretty much set on that but then one day decided I wanted something with height and I LOVE IT!!!

What are you LOVING???

I love the LORD, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy.

Psalm 116:1
