Lake Travis

We went to Austin today for our 5 1/2 year anniversary. We went to the Oasis restaurant which sits on the lake & the views from the tables outside are gorgeous. It was so much fun and the food was good too. We drove around and admired the beautiful lake and houses. We also went to a park on the lake and watched the water out on some rocks. It was fun and very beautiful. We didn't know such a thing existed in Austin. I hope you enjoy the pics!

Hair Bows

Well I found a new hobby, it is making hair bows. A girl at school has been making bows for little girls and they are so cute and inspired another girl and I to try it out too. We have all been buying ribbon and making several bows. It is actually pretty fun and I think they are pretty cute. I'm doing it more for fun right now but I would also like to try to sell some and see how they do. If it goes well I will continue to make them and sell more. Here are a few pictures of some I have made so far. (some are bigger w/ regular clips & some are smaller w/ alligator clips)

Trusting in God's Will

Sometimes it is hard to know what God's will is for our lives, and I have often struggled with that, but is it really our job to know what his plans are for our future? I think that we need to trust in God and the plans he has for us, seeking him and patiently waiting for him to reveal his self to us and his plans for our lives. I pray that God will give us patience with our understandings and a peace in knowing that he has a plan for us, one that will be far greater than what we could even imagine or hope for now. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that everything is in God's timing, we just need to take a breath sometimes and let him show us the way in which we should go.

Family

The week before school started back, my sister and I spent a few days with my Nanna and my cousins. We went to the water park , had a cook out, and went out to eat a few times. It was a lot of fun and I love spending time with them. My little cousins are growing up and I can't believe how big they are getting. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

My new blog spot

Well I finally decided to get my own blog spot. I use facebook, but thought this might be fun too. I am still trying to figure out how to do everything, so if you have any suggestions let me know. I will add some pictures later.
