Productive Weekends

This weekend was such a great weekend! It was a little crazy but good! Saturday I hosted a girls luncheon for the girls in my family! My aunt, Nana, great-aunt, and second cousin got to come (and of course my sister and mom). It was so nice. We had this delicious Cajun pasta with chicken that was a new recipe, garlic rolls, and salad. It was perfect. Of course before they came over we had to do some crazy cleaning because we never have that perfectly clean house. It was worth it though. After the familia left I went to pick up Melvin then Melvin, Allie, and I went Next fitness and went swimming. All the details about that will be on Allie's Adventures blog later. :)

I've been wanting to start doing this cleaning chart that I got off Pinterest but your house needs to be somewhat clean in order to start it. :) So since we had people over Saturday the house is now clean enough to start and I'm so excited! I know that sound kind of lame but I always want to have a clean house but get overwhelmed and don't know where to start! Now I have a cleaning guideline! :)

Today I cleaned and re-organized our master bedroom. When Allie plays in our room (which happens a lot) she takes all the DVD cases off of our bookshelf and leaves them everywhere. So I finally did some shifting around and made them all out of her little reach! It is ridiculous how excited this makes me! We are eventually going to redo our bedroom... like as in one month! I'm getting lots of inspiration from Pinterest! I will be sure to keep y'all updated on all the before and after pictures! :)
Well I think I hear a bad baby who is still awake so I gotta go so I can give Melvin a break! Night!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

I'm done with exams! Thank goodness! This has been one crazy semester for me. I'm so grateful it is over! Now I have time to blog, read, cook, clean, organize, redecorate... Wait, who am I kidding? I now have time to play with Allie! I would love to do all those other things but when you have a toddler baby running around (I'm not ready to call her a toddler yet!) you don't have time for those things. So I finished my semester with 2 A's and 1 C. I'm very upset about the C because I should have gotten an A in that class. Last Friday I had an online test to do; I completely forgot about it until 12:35 A.M. It had been a stressful day because Allie was sick and we went to the doctors. I had a complete break down when I realized I had forgotten it. After some comforting from my husband I just realized that everything happens for a reason. I  thought of my favorite verse Jeremiah 29:11 which is: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It instantly calmed me. I just gave my worries and sadness to God because that Guy knows what He's doing. :) It really does amaze me how incredible my God is!
I plan on blogging more often, well for at least the next 2 weeks until school starts again. But for now I'm exhausted so I'm signing off!
