Essential Oils

I am starting to sell essential oils! I hosted my first essential oil class tonight. I am also learning as I go. I am reading a lot about the oils as I go. I think I realized today that I am probably as passionate about the oils as I am about helping stop human trafficking!

Something Interesting At The Grocery Store

When I ran into the grocery store after work tonight, I saw something interesting! It was a ramen noodles cookbook with several ideas of what to make with ramen noodles. If you are unfamiliar with ramen noodles, it's a soup. I didn't get a chance to look through it, but I'm thinking about getting it--I wonder what ideas I can get from that cookbook? We shall see...

Sweetness!

It has been so nice having cooler than usual temperatures in mid/late July here inTexas! This morning we set a new record low! :) we also got some much needed rain on Thursday.

Sometimes you just have to laugh!

Last night I went to a ladies event at my church. It was a night filled with laughter! Every summer, my church has a laugh night for us ladies. A couple times this week I was trying to decide whether or not to go. I knew I'd be glad that I went. I also got to hang out with a friend and we got to sit together. I am so glad that even though I was tired from a busy week that I went! The laughing was just so good for me! It also just lifts your spirit! Sometimes--you just have to laugh!

Current world events

I know that everybody might not agree with me, but those illegal immigrant children that came over the border from Mexico deserve a chance. I've been seeing differing viewpoints on the news and on Facebook. They are people too and they deserve a chance. I just hate that people are bashing them and everything.  

Awesome Experience!

I had an incredibly awesome experience on Friday! We got to see a Revolutionary reeactment. I hadn't seen one of those in years! I remember when I was going to school when my family lived in Ohio that we would see a reeactment sometimes. My husband, who grew up in Texas, had never seen one before and absolutely loved it! 

One other cool thing that we got to see was an antique car show and a tractor show. I love old cars!

A Day In The Mountains!

Today we went to see the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC! That is the second time I've been there! Seriously, if you have never been there--it is so worth the visit! You just leave feeling so refreshed--I just can't put it into words! 

We also visited the Linville Caverns! Those were so awesome! We will definitely plan to return! It was so awesome that we were also in the Chimney Rock, NC/Bat Cave, NC where my husband and I honeymooned just over 13 years ago! I eventually want to go back to Chimney Rock! I will leave you with a picture of the caverns!

Favorite Places

One of my most favorite places in the world is Charleston, SC! I got to go down there for a little while today! I got to walk through the Charleston City Market down there--it goes back to 1804! At the entrance, you see people making sweet grass baskets. They've been making those a couple hundred years down there! We also got some good seafood down there! Charleston is one of my favorite cities!
