Top 2 Tuesday

Ok so I have taken a break on my top 2 Tuesdays because I couldn't think of anything for the last two weeks of blogging, but his week I am all over it. Many of you probably already know these answers. This weeks top 2 is your favorite book.

#1:

I just finished Karen Kingsbury's Take Three. Oh so wonderful. Here is the synopsis from the book:

Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison set out to change the world with their films-and they are finally seeing their dreams come true. The dedicated producers are deep in negotiations with America's top young movie star to play the lead in their next inspirational production. But the actor is linked to a studio whose brass will take any measures to see that their mega-million-dollar star doesn't take the part. In the meantime, the friends tackle another project that puts them and their assistant, Kendall Adams, on location in Arizona; far from their homes and the people who matter most to them. Chase finds himself on one side of fame-and temptation-with his wife and two daughters on the other. Back in Indiana, a crisis hits Keith's daughter, Andi, and Keith feels helpless to respond. Will the producers keep the passion they had at the start of their film making-and will there be enough passion left over for their families? Or has their quest to change American culture become nothing more than a quest for fame?

SOOOOOOOO good.

#2:

This is the book I am starting to read. It is from Bring The rain blog by Angie Smith. i love her blog so I can just imagine what the book is like.

So hop on over to see what the other gals are reading this summer.

Local Missions

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."

~Philippians 2:4

Yesterday, Buddy and I joined several others form our church and went out to do local missions in our community. All I can say is WOW! Our job was to put on a new roof on a rather small house. Ok, I don't know if you know this or not, but I have never roofed a house before. Have you tried to roof a house with 6 other women and 4 other men, some youth, and one fearless leader? Well try it some time. When we arrived it was overcast (thanks, Lord), and we were ready to go. On our way over to the house I ask Buddy, "have you done this before?" hoping he would say yep, I have and its not that hard. But, he was in the same boat I was. The blind leading the blind. Ok back to the story. We get on the roof and start going at it. All you could see were shingles flying and scrapers scraping.

I am standing there like wow this looks rather easy so, I go at it. 11 hours later we decide to stop with almost all the roof with shingles on it and all the roof felted and one happy family with no leaks.

Felt going done.

Gotta always have a first aide kit on hand.

Our fearless leader.

Praising Jesus for the breeze and the little area of shade.

Yummy, Yummy

Ok, so I have never posted a recipe before, but this is worthy of posting. My sister submitted this to my mom's church for their cookbook. She can make them much better than I can,but I tried. So try these and let me know what you think.

Chicken Enchiladas

(Cheese puffs do not go into the recipe, they were a quick snack for Tillie.)

Great Day

Thank you to all who all have served our country so we can have the freedom that we have!

We had a wonderful day! We went down to the campground and spent some much needed Nanny and Papaw time. Tillie Ann hasn't spent time with them in awhile so, today she filled her tank full of Nanny and Papaw. If you live in the South, than you know that all it has done in the last few days is rain. Well, just because it was a holiday doesn't mean that the rain took a break. But, it didn't ruin Tillie's day. She played and played in the rain!

After it finally quit raining, we took her down to the beach to play in the sand and water. She loved it. She just kept saying "Water mommy".

After we played for a while, we went back to feed the deer and a little hammock time with Papaw.

We had a great day and a fun time with the family!!!

Mommy and Me

About a month ago Tillie Ann and I had a shoot with an amazing photographer ,Amber Black. She captured some wonderful pictures of Tillie and I as well as my mom and grandmother. We were able to get our generations hand picture as well. Here are a few pictures:

It's Sold!!

I have been wanting to post this forever, but I felt as though I shouldn't. The Sweat's are officially sold. We listed the house at the end of March and had an offer on April 8th. We accepted and signed papers on May 20th. So after so much help from family and friends we are now moved and starting another chapter in a cute townhouse on the lake. Thanks for all your work, Aunt Melinda!

Top Two Tuesday

This week over at The Undomestic Momma the title of top 2 Tuesday is Splurges.

#1: A good bra.

It seems these days the girls are going farther and farther south so a good supporting bra is such a splurge. This is where I have found great bras for all of us out there that are blessed (not really).

#2: Good running shoes.

Last summer, I started running with a running group and I found out really quick that I needed to get a great pair of shoes. These defiantly were a splurge.
