Rooted in Trefoil to Rooted in Sand

I normally don't weigh-in on current politics, just because I strictly believe that if someone wants my opinion, they will ask for it. Otherwise, I could care less what others think. I do enjoy a decent debate once in awhile with people who tend to not get offended or upset over my opinions or my husband's. Recently, the LGBT community has been vying for transgenders to be able to use the bathroom they self-identify with and N.Carolina Gov, signed a bill banning that right to transgenders. Let's just get one thing straight, I DO NOT CARE if a transgender uses the bathroom I happen to be in. I DO CARE if a transgender OR a crazy perv exposes themselves, harasses, inappropriately touches, all the other horrific things that can happen to me or other women and children in the bathroom. I bet there have been numerous times where I've been in the same bathroom as a transgender and didn't even notice. What I care most about is being sexually or verbally harassed or assa...

Well, we officially had our first burn of the season. We brought out the chairs, grabbed some beverages and sat around the fire Saturday night. It was nice to just have company and catch up.

Erin, our Children's minister thought I would do well at training people as well. It feels so nice to be needed. God is truly blessing me and getting me ready for motherhood.

This weekend we did some chores, some buying of furniture and some socializing. I must be brief, as we're going to be leaving for church any minute here.... Saturday, we spent most of the day looking for items to hang on our second gallery wall....in the midst of finding these items, I found a desk that I must have. Backstory: I've been searching for about a year now for my desk. I was using a desk from Tyler's side of the family that had been passed down, and while it was sentimental it wasn't really a desk I liked. So the search commenced.... We looked it over and figured that it wasn't a bad find. Sturdy, clean, girly, and decently priced. So we bought it. :) Well we gathered everything we got yesterday and put it up in our landing area and made me a space!!! Pictures below and now I have a proper office space!!! <3
