5.  Time with the Matlocks, too! :) It had been too long!

10. Knowing that although I might be failing in those areas now, I won't always be.

7. For a sweet teenage girl who was sorry she is going to Six Flags tomorrow and couldn't babysit for me...and I mean truly bummed. lol.

8. That my sweet lifelong friend delivered her second baby girl safely last Friday!

9. That even though I am even farther behind in my Bible reading than I was last week, I have still been able to read a little bit every day and I know that all it will take is one good sit down to catch back up (if that is ever possible!)

10. For an understanding husband who has not complained too much about the basic house work falling behind as I have been cleaning out....more on that later. ;)

The Naked Face Challenge

My friend Deanna over at Delirious Rhapsody has issued a Naked Face Challenge! She says "We're all beautiful. Now let's be real." The challenge is to take one picture of your freshly scrubbed face, sans make up, no touch ups. Just you. After much debate within myself (haha) I decided to join in the challenge. And it was for me, because I NEVER go without foundation. So here you are:

My naked face, red splotches, baggy eyes, wet hair, and all. :)

And just for the fun of it, here is another one, because after eating a mini cupcake, my tongue matched my shirt. ;P
