Today I socialize!

Yesterday I spent most of work running errands. This is why I love my job, it consisted of me stopping and ordering some treats for tomorrow. Plus my boss is super awesome and treated me to this yummy cupcake.

Today I get to spend sometime doing two things I love to do... talk about social media and eating cupcakes. Here are the cupcake toppers I made for today's talk with OKWU.edu Board Spouses:

It was a fun time of sharing some do's and don'ts of Social Media and tip and tricks to make life a little easier. We only covered my four favorite SM platforms twitter, facebook, instagram, and PINTEREST. If you have been to my blog at all, you know I love pinterest! I don't see how anyone can't but help to fall in love with it!

Enjoy Fall Break! 

Leadership, everything rises and falls on it.

Thursday night Pastor and I enjoyed an amazing dinner at OKWU.edu, with speaker Dr. John Maxwell. We were accompanied by great friends and our bosses. It was a lovely evening. The food was amazing. My University did awesome in service and Dr. Piper was eloquent as always. 

 

Dr. John Maxwell spoke on leadership. He reiterated what Pastor and I believe to be as great leadership, that it hangs on relationships. Everything rises and falls with leadership. The good, bad and the ugly. So to accomplish our goal in this life, we must posses good leadership qualities. I pray that Pastor and I are leading to the best of our ability with the blessing from God.

On Tuesday of this week, Maxwell's 73rd book came out, 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. I can't wait to read it. Click the book to purchase your own copy and read it with me.

Pastor and I looking oh so sharp! You know, when you feel like you look pretty,
nothing else really matters... Except when your husband tells you, you do. 

 

Here is a pic to my pretty program I made for the dinner.
It was awesome to see my stamp on the evening.



The girls and I! We all looked so cute and had a great night! I love being around these girls.  

So what is your opinion of leadership? Do you think everything rises and falls on leadership? Or do you believe things just happen the way they were meant to happen? I would love to here your thoughts! So please share.

C1 | Week 5 October 2nd CC Day

I so can't believe we are into week #5!!! And it is crazy that I myself know all the past week's memory work. All the amazement can go right to God, because it is a miracle that I am remembering these things! #lifelonglearningisawesome And whats even more amazing is that my little girls are picking it up so well. Now we seem to have trouble when it comes time to proof... many of us do. But I remember that my girlies are young and in due time confidence will come! And so will knowledge! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!



New folders for the kids! Thanks to an awesome generous mama in our class! Thanks Mrs. D!

Herds of Fun!

Every year it is a tradition. When the summer is slipping away and cool nights of fall sneak in, you know it's time for the Tulsa State Fair.

This year we went visited the fair for the 3rd year in a row (ever since they came into our lives) with Nana Barbara, Papa Ron and Tasha. We walked, we ate, we looked, we ate, we rode, we ate... it was a great night!
