I gained 51 pounds

of pecans this week! My pecan tree is producing more pecans than I know what to do with. As I've been out in the yard, with my pecan-picker-upper (really, that's the name-see pic on rt.side) and my buckets, I'm learning what it means to be fruitful. It is more than one flower, or one pecan or one grape. It is bountiful-1.Giving freely and generously; liberal. 2. Marked by abundance; plentiful.

This concept of Bountiful was driven home even more so on Saturday after my first bridal shower. I was indeed showered with gifts that were freely given and generous. It was a blessing!

So as I go out each evening wandering around my yard, picking those pecans, I am reminded of what it means for me to be fruitful, and the bounitful gifts of the Lord. In this season before marriage, it is nice to reminded of these things.

You'd Never Guess...

It's Friday.

This week, I've completed 99% of my invitations and have all my favors put together, as well as ordered flowers. It is exciting to have a the majority of the little stuff done. I am ready for the "Big Day", or at least I think I am...

This weekend, W and I and my friend T are walking in the Race for the Cure along with some sorority sisters from college. The race is always a fun event, but always a little sad, too. It can be hard to see those with memory bibs of loved ones. Seeing all the pink hat survivors is touching as well.

W leaves on Tuesday for 2 weeks in California. When he returns it there will be a little less than a month until we are married.

There's not too much to expound on today, so enjoy your Friday

Another Friday Post

I thought I would start this blog thing by posting on Fridays since I posted last Friday. Made some kind of sense to me...


Tomorrow girlfriends, and my Mom are coming over to help address invites, and put together favors, and jingle bells. We are using jingle bells in stead of sparklers, bubbles, confetti, rice and bird seed when we leave the receiption. It was the brilliant idea of my maid-of-honor T.


This week was ushered in my cooler weather much to my heart's delight. There is something about the Fall weather that makes me feel just a touch more alive. It is also the beginning of the Holiday season which I have come to love over the last few years. Just a day or so ago I was in a local craft store picking up more ribbon for the above mentioned Saturday festivities when I heard some Christmas display blurt out a Christmas carol. I got a little more happy, and found myself smiling. (side bar-I'm a nut for the Macy's Day Parade, and must watch a minimum of 10 minutes each year, and preferably that 10 minutes includes a Broadway production song or the Rockettes). This Holiday season will indeed be special since it will be the first Thanksgiving Wayne and I will share together as a couple, and Christmas as Husband and Wife. How crazy wonderful is that? God is good!


So that's it for my Friday post.

56 Days

Only 56 days until my wedding and I can't wait. It has been a great learning experience and quite enlightening. I must say if I ever need to make-my-millions I could do it by inventing some new wedding trinketry (sp).

This post is number 2 of 2 as I decide on how to blog, who's my audience, and why!

enjoy the day,

Amy
