Vegas Baby....

You have NO idea how much a picture can do to calm your nerves and bring you peace until you have sent out a missionary! The photo's and letters are like rain falling on the drought riddled soil of the desert.

So when I received these photo's from Josh's Mission home (THANK YOU SISTER BLACK:):) it was as if the heaven's had opened and it was pouring rain down upon my soul.

I  feel so blessed to live in a time that technology affords us the ability to have instant pictures and messages. How did we ever make it before the world of high speed Internet, smart phones and texting?

I have no idea how I am going to survive having TWO missionaries in the field.

Lamborghini, Ferrari or Kenmore???

 It is always around the holidays that I tend to look around my kitchen and go, NONONO instead of HOHOHO!!!
You see I like to bake like a mad woman and seem to never be satisfied with the amount or quality of work space or "tools" needed to do the job right. So when I took the time to check out this blog in the morning, imagine the thrill that tingled down my spine.

I really don't need a new fridge but boy howdy what would make a girl happier than a brand new

sleek and sexy black machine like that mixer on her kitchen counter!

(OK, so maybe sexy is taking it a bit to far:)

The men in my life get all excited about Lamborghini's and Ferrari's.  I'm sorry guys you may think the sound of a sports car racing by is the music of the Italian God's, but it has nothing on the purr of a bad boy mixing machine beating a batch of cookie dough! 

 Just Say'n :):)

 














If you are in need of or let's face it, in just an I WANT it hurting kinda way for a new fridge or mixer, enter HERE!  There is only one catch-if you win you have to SHARE your first batch of yummy cookie dough goodness with me:):)
Best of Luck
