Lemon Cookie Review

Laura and I made the best lemon cookies on Tuesday night. We had both pinned the same lemon cookie recipe from pinterest and so we had to try them. The really nice thing about this recipe is that they only take about 10 minutes to mix up and about 10 min to bake. There is no dough chilling or wacky Ingredients involved. So if you are needing a little lemon fix this is a very yummy and easy cookie to make. Only downfall is that they turned out to be bite size and it was super easy to eat three or four without any thought.

FACEBOOK = UNFRIENDED

I think that after today I need to go on a Facebook hiatus for maybe the rest of my life. For an infertile gal who literally would give the shirt off her back for a baby, Facebook is the devil. You know the saying "everyone is pregnant" well if you ever get on Facebook that could not be a truer statement. I swear people left and right are getting knocked up and my favorite are those that get pregnant on their honeymoon or how about those that get pregnant months before their wedding on"accident". Facebook promises to deliver prego's of all shapes and sizes, ages

and backgrounds. Facebook promises that the first thing you see when you login is a prego complaining about how she is sick and thinks that being that way while she is prego is so unfair. At least when these people people post such ridiculous things Facebook allows the ability of "retaliation" in comments. 

Facebook, you know how people post bare belly pictures or their intelligender test(which is their pee in a cup).  Well that should be flagged and reported. Seriously Facebook that is way more offensive then a bare baby's butt. Right now Facebook is not a "face" I want to see or a book I want to read.

Facebook right now you need to unfriended!

The Promise

My grandma Mary went to see Jesus last Thursday August 30^th at 9:50pm. The weekend was filled with the visitation, funeral and burial.  Ironically this Labor Day weekend last year was the weekend my parents were poisoned with CO2 and almost died. By yesterday everyone was physically and emotionally worn out. And all of us were determined that next Labor Day weekend was going to be a better one.  

During grandma’s funeral on Saturday we played a video of her being interviewed on her 82^nd birthday by my Aunts. They asked her a bunch of light hearted questions like what her favorite song was, favorite actor, favorite pastime, who her best friend’s were ect.  Then the questions turned to Deal or No Deal scenarios. They asked her if she liked war, believed in abortion, condoned in divorce and if she supported Chief Illini.  There were many questions regarding the first time she met my grandfather, what her hopes and dreams were and how many kids she wanted to have.

There were two questions they asked her that really spoke to me. The first was how many kids she wanted to have, I will post about this later. The second question was if she was afraid of dying?  She quickly responded no and then proceeded to say that God had given us a Promise of a place that we cannot ever imagine. She was not worried if she was going to be bored, what she was going to look like or what she was going to eat.  She was not afraid of when that time came because it was not up to her. She was just choosing to accept The Promise that God had given her.  

John 14:2-4

In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  You know the way to the place where I am going."
