Starke Home Pictures

Here are the pictures of our new palace. No, but really we are so thankful we live closer to our church.

Enjoy :D

We've Moved to STARKE!

We are officially all unpacked. We have less storage in this house so we have had to get creative with our things :) Gracie's room has the only walk in closet- we joke she'll love that when shes a teen. This home is a great investment. We bought it at a great price and really feel the Lords hand in it. It is so awesome getting back to our old routine with Stephen coming home for lunch. We have missed him, Gracie especially.

My hubby has been a huge help in getting things fixed up. We just need to finish a few things and we will be set. I redid the front yard flowers the other day and Steve and I painted the front porch area black- it was run down looking.

We moved around my birthday. Stephen surprised me with flowers and a cookie cake. He also got me a gift cert. for a Swedish massage- I'm spoiled! Then for an extra B-day gift, Gracie and I went to get pedicures and she had her toe nails painted. She loved it and it was so special doing that with her. She sat so well, and listened to the lady telling her not to move.

We then had to go to a VBS conference in the mix of all the moving- things were hectic but we were able to visit the State Fair for the day. We had free ride tickets so couldn't pass up taking Gracie. She had so much fun, seeing the animals, and riding "Roller Coasters"..

On top of everything- Gracie decided on Friday that SHE wanted to go in the potty and has been wearing underwear ever since. I'm so glad I didn't push her into going. This has been so stress free, I cant believe how well she is doing. She is growing up so fast. My baby girl will soon be 3- how can that be?!?

Until Next time,

Meet my Sweet Friend Debbie

 Kelly on Kelly's Korner Blog is hosting a Show Us Your Singles link up!

Meet Debbie:


I have known Debbie, for 7 years. She is the most kindest and caring person I know.

 She was blessed almost 2 years ago with a sweet little girl named Emma. She is the best Mama to her little girl and works hard each day to provide for her little blessing. She is from Tampa, and is 30 yrs. old.



She is a Christian, and very family oriented. She loves going places and just having fun. She is crafty, and loves scrap-booking. Being from FL she also loves the beach and sunshine. She has one very sweet little dog that is her other baby :)



Debbie is a great catch and patiently waiting on that right guy that God has in store for her.

My little Painter

Today has been a FUN day so far. Stephen goes to work later on Wednesdays and we love it. Gracie gets to wake up and see her daddy instead of him rushing off. We are still living in Lake City so the drive is 45 minutes for him. Each morning, she'll wake up and say "Where is Daddy"??? I have to tell her everyday that he is at work :( Breaks my heart to see her cry for him. We don't have a closing date yet- things got pushed back so we should get a date around Feb. 9th. Its so hard living in a house with everything basically packed away. I want to move so bad. I'm trying to make the best of our time here in this house and find fun things to do with Gracie.

Today, we went to the store and I bought her this little wooden bear. She loves to paint and this little kit was on clearance for $1.47 :) It included the paint too. She had the best time painting it. She said she was making it for her daddy!! I also, bought all her Valentine things. I love getting her things for each holiday. I especially love buying her holiday shirts. I got two cute ones. One for Valentines, and one for St. Patty's day!









Its almost nap time. Then its off to church, where she gets to play with her puggle friends. Wednesdays are always my favorite day of the week.

Hope your week is blessed!

P.S. Tomorrow, we are baking Valentine Cupcakes :) More pics to come <3
