My 100th post. What next?

Ok... so this year has proven to be a year of what's next? When Hubby and I were thinking about 2009 back in Dec of 2008 - we said that our theme would be 2009 Is Our Time To Shine! Little did we know that we would be going through soooooo much........

1) We had a pretty narly car accident where we were hit from behind at a stoplight on JANUARY 1 (coming home from our PASTOR'S house no less) where we lost hubby's car (it was totaled) AND we had to have physical therapy for almost 4 months. We are still working on getting this resolved through our lawyer and the other person's insurance company - more on that when it is finally resolved.

2) Our church found a home! Our church Ministerio Zoe Vida finally found a place to grow and is doing well.

3) We celebrated 3 yrs of marriage!!

4) We celebrated our first year of home ownership!!!

5) My younger sister got married. TheBride was beautiful!

6) I started being more creative (and adventurous) with crafts, decorating, and thrifting. For example last week I got this

I decided to actually use it in the dining room. I am going to sand it and fix it up (make it a little more sturdy) and then I will do a mistreatment on the bottom part so that it's not open and I can hide a few things in there and just king of make it a buffet for the dining room. This is actually the first item that I have ever just picked up off the side of the road! It was scary and fun all at the same time! Scary because the guy that used to own it came out as we were loading it into the car and I thought he was gonna get mad at us - but he actually asked if I wanted the screws that go with it! HA!

or what about this?


We went to my FAVORITE thrift store and they had a sign out on their patio that said "everything in the patio is free, take whatever you want" so I grabbed this beauty! I am going to remove all the electrical, sand it and spray paint it - then add some candle sticks and hang it above our bathtub in the master - HOW romantic will that be????

*****************

All in all - we are in the middle of the year and it can only get better from here on out. We have a lot to look forward to and I am excited for all the things the Lord has in store for us. I can only give thanks that He has given me a wonderful hubby to ride along this roller coaster! :)

Stay Tuned!
Hasta!
