This morning in church, we sang my absolute favorite song! It has the most beautiful, powerful lyrics. It has been playing over and over in my head all day, so I thought I’d share it here.

“In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand”

“In Christ Alone”-Avalon

Last night, we had Tracy’s baby shower! It was so much fun to finally have all of us together to celebrate Tracy’s sweet twin babies! Holly and I put together a super fun party, and I’m so excited to share a few pictures with y’all!

Our theme was Dr. Seuss! His books are some of my favorites. We also had everyone bring a book along with their gift to help start the babies’ library. She got so many cute books!

Happy Wednesday y’all!

Having Monday off has work has really gotten my week all confused. Doesn’t feel like it should be Wednesday already!

Here’s what I’m loving this week!

I’m loving baby shower planning! Tracy’s shower is this week, and I’m having so much fun getting everything ready. I just love planning showers! Can’t wait to share all of the fun details!

I’m loving that I got my summer vacation dates approved yesterday! I’m so ridiculously excited to be spending time this summer with these girls!

Neely and I are going to visit Meghan in June and Lindsey in August! CANNOT WAIT!

I’m loving my Project 365 pictures! Here’s my picture for yesterday!

Day 6-February 22nd

Bought this CD today, and I looooove it!

And, I’m loving this song!

What are you loving this week? Link up your loves with Jamie!

I’ve seen several bloggers and friends on Facebook doing Project 365 posts, and I’ve really been wanting to do it myself. For those of you who may not know about it, Project 365 involves taking a picture every single day for a year. I thought about starting at the beginning of the year, but decided to wait until my birthday and use it as a way to document my 25th year. I’m kinda excited! I’m going to play catch-up today, then from here on out, I’ll just post pictures at the end of my regular posts.

These will change your life!

Hey y’all! Thanks for all of the birthday wishes here, and on Twitter and Facebook! It was such a great day and great weekend.

Thursday, I had to work in the morning, but I took the rest of the day off. I spent part of the afternoon with Tracy, and I was so excited to finally meet her sweet babies! They are so sweet, and I love them so much already!

Thursday night, after a super quick dinner at Olive Garden, Teddie and I went to see the musical Beauty & the Beast! It was so awesome!

The show was so good, and we had such a great time!

Friday morning, I drove home, and I spent the afternoon getting my hair done. My blonde was growing out, and it was starting to look a bit trashy! :)

Friday night, we went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate!

Oreo wanted to play too!

Jessica got me this awesome mirror! It has our special sayings and inside jokes written all around the frame. I love it!

Saturday night, we went to dinner for Jessica’s birthday, and I spent the night with her. Such a fun night!

Our traditional special event pose!
We’ve been taking pictures like this since 9th grade!

So fun to celebrate both of our birthdays the same weekend!

It was like 2 a.m. We felt like we needed another picture!

It was a great weekend! I’m excited to see what 25 holds for me!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Wow! Seriously, I cannot believe that today I’m 25 years old!

My favorite part of my birthday is that I get to celebrate my special day along with celebrating my bestie Jessica’s special day too!

Jessica and I were born three days apart! Every year, we get to celebrate both of our birthdays in the same weekend! We’ve been friends since kindergarten, so that’s a lot of birthdays we’ve gotten to spend together!

Here are some of our pictures from the last few years!
