I came across this little guy on Anthro’s website and I immediately fell in love. He is so cute that I want to squeeze his head off! I have not seen it in the store and I am not quite sure what you would do with it but I still want him.

I love the fact that Anthropologie has a ton of Scottish Terrier items for sale. I want to buy them all but that would break the bank, and also classify me as the crazy dog lady. There is also a Scottie dish towel but I couldn’t find a picture on the website.

Anthropologie, I knew  liked you for a reason!!!

Hubby

I would like to take a second to brag on my husband. I am one proud wife for many reasons but I will only name a few.

1. I love his ambition and drive, which has led him to this new Lifechurch job. Not only did he strive for the seemingly unreachable, but he is doing an amazing job so far.

2. He is serious about getting healthier by working out and eating right. I know he can do it…

Free tube of mascara!!! I just went and got mine and it was so easy to do. Starting today September 15, 2009, bring the October 2009 cover of Seventeen or a printout of the seventeen.com home page to any participating ULTA store to receive a full-size tube of Benefit BADgal Blue Mascara (approximate retail value: $19). One per person. Giveaway ends October 19, 2009, or while supplies last. Once all mascaras are distributed, there will be no substitute product given away. If I were you, I would be there the first day of the giveaway. I’m betting these will go superfast.

Get Wisdom Part II

I asked my grandmother the secret to being married for 64 years and here is her insightful answer.


“I think my secret for staying married for 64 years is having respect for your mate and never saying anything in anger to hurt the other person. Working together as a team and giving 100% to the marriage. We must also let God have his rightful place in our lives. I’m afraid young couples today don’t take their marriage vows as seriously as they should. They should never loose sight of the fact that they loved each other when they got married, and work at regaining that love no matter what conflicts might occur. Any marriage is worth fighting for. It’s a matter of putting yourself in the other person’s place and listening to their point of view. They also need to pray and seek God’s will for their lives. How did I handle conflict?We were blessed to have so much in common. We were both from the same kind of background and were raised in christian homes  Our parents never fought with each other  so we were not used to conflicts in the home. I don’t want say that we never had any disagreements but I refused to argue, and pretty soon the whole thing was forgotten. We always respected each other’s point of view. When I was first married and came to Florida as a 19 year old I was so homesick I wanted to go back home but I knew I had married for better or worse so I just had to make the best of it. It wasn’t long until things got better and we’ve had a wonderful life together.”

I can only pray that I will be able to say the same thing one day.

Get Wisdom

My grandmother inspires me. She is an 83 year old woman who has had a relationship with Christ longer than I have been alive. I asked her how she was able to maintain her faith all these years because, quite frankly, I want someone to ask me this when I am 83 and I need to know what to say.

“Erica,

You asked me how I maintained my faith in Christ all these 83 years. Well, that is a very easy question to answer. Having been brought up by Christian parents I always knew that I loved God and he loved me. I know that when I’ve had difficult times in my life like loosing my parents my sisters and brother my faith brought me closer to Christ. I learned to trust God in everything especially since my dear husband has been ill. At times I tend to feel sorry for myself but then I turn to God and start thanking him for his many blessing. He has been so good to me through the years.

My favorite verses are:

I’st Thessalonians 5: 16,17,& 18

Rejoice in everthing

Pray constantly

Give thanks in everything for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”


What an amazing woman!!
