reasons why today (the 22nd) isn't so bad...

love and support from friends. thank you girls. you have made me feel like i am being carried; like i cannot fall because you are behind me.

realizing how perfectly true psalm 18 is this morning :

"i love you Lord, my strength. the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock in whom i take refuge, my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." how amazing that he would not only save me, but hold me up throughout life and give me joy.

also, taking the day off really helped :)

counting my blessings!

if you watch the bachelorette and need a good laugh, read my friend LC's review.
pretty hilarous!

oh my goodness
everything on this website is amazing!

hard time focusing....

this lamp from Bee Line Home is beautiful!

saw this chair last week at the Walter Lee Culp showroom and I need 2.

the sky this morning reminded me of this verse:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than yours and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55

missing my Julie.

I cannot focus today....so i'm going to work on the design for San Antonio guestrooms...what do you think so far?

i love and miss Avant Garden!

Scott and I just saw Midnight in Paris. Great movie!

However, it is very easy for me to romanticise Europe.

Soooo….on the way home from the movie, I had Scott drop me off at Central Market so I could get some fruit and wine and walk home feeling happy and in love.

It's just not quite the same in the Texas heat, without Yves Montand's "Le gamon de Paris" playing in the background...

we have NO plans this weekend! super excited (except i'll miss my friends who are playing out of town). here is my list:

1. check out this dress for Abby's wedding at Anthro
2. Watch Death Becomes Her
3. Paint a side table yellow
4. Go to West Elm and look at their pillows on sale for my sofa
5. Make a recipe from my mom's cook book!
6. Possibly paint a room in my house? LOVE this deep green in the image above.
