College graduation for Savannah.

Brody and Savannah ready for her graduation night from college!

We are so proud of Savannah and all her accomplishments.  She has struggled getting thru college. On personal note she has had two preemie babies and being a housewife.  She has really kept on top of personal life and college studies.  Can't wait to see where her journey takes her thru life.

A great turn out for graduation ceremony.  Way to go Savannah!!!  .

 

Canvas Prints

I am in love with making these canvas prints! This is one of my favorite pictures from the cruise. This is the first canvas print I attempted to make.  

Alisha and Brody's canvas print turned out nice as well.  I can't wait to get more pictures so I can do a entire wall with photo's of the family.  

I bought a 6 pack of 8x10 canvas's, black paint and modge podge. First I painted the canvase edges black and let dry.  Then I covered the canvas in modge podge and placed picture on canvas.  Once that had dried I applied modge podge on top of photo.  Don't do as I did which I got a little heavy handed on the modge podge in the first picture.  Still felt like the canvas pictures turned out decent.  

I am thinking I should make some of these for the kids for Christmas gifts.  They would all love them.

Kiva Loans

 I have been loaning out $25.00 since March 21 2012.  With Kiva loans you can loan as little as $25.00 and make a difference in someone's life. You get to support the causes you care about and make a real impact. You get to choose a borrower and then lend your money.  Kiva borrowers have a 96% repayment rate.  I have not ever had a issue on repayment.   Kiva is not a donation, allowing you to recycle your money and create a personal impact across the world.  At any point you can withdraw your funds.  100% of your loan goes to the field.    

I have made 20 loans thus far.   

I I have lent to these countries

Armenia     Burundi     Cameroon     Congo (DRC)     Dominican Republic     Honduras     Indonesia     Jordan       Kenya        Nicaragua      Pakistan              Palestine     Paraguay    Peru      Tajikistan     Timor-Leste          Togo          Uganda          United States       Vietnam

I currently have $25.17 to loan.  My outstanding loans are $93.67.  If I did not reloan I would be totally paid back by 2023.

My husband was like why s end your money outside of USA?  Because I want to help people who are trying to better themselves.  I was so glad to see now we can loan to United  States.  My goal is to loan to as many different countries as I can.  

What are you waiting for head on over and do a loan!!!

Celebrating 1st anniversary

This was my last drink before heading up to the room.  I haven't had a tequila sunrise in many years.  It was as good as I remembered.  

   

Enjoying first margarita of the night!

Luther is wondering how in the heck did she talk me into coming down for cocktail hour!  He only had one bud light.   

We did end up ordering from the cafe.  I did the club sandwich and it was very good.  The cheeseburger  he got was rare and he only took a few bites.  I shared mine with him.        

 

Embassy suites Norman Oklahoma

I always enjoy staying at the Embassy Suites.  I know Luther has never stayed with Embassy Suites.  He prefers staying at motels not hotels.  I have been trying to introduce him into different hotels. 

With this being our 1st Anniversary I wanted it to be special.  Luther really was taken back with the suite so I scored! 

The hotel room looked to be clean. I found no issues with our room at all.  We really liked the work table as we did spend quite a bit of time talking to one another.  

If only my bathroom looked this clean and perfect!  That would make my husband very happy.  Walking into a bright and clutter free bathroom makes all the difference in the world.  

The bedding on the bed was slightly heavy.  Luther removed all the bedding on his side and slept with a sheet.  I myself like the weight of the comforter.  As you can see from pictures we had placed our suitcase on the bed and removed to take pictures.  Didn't smooth out the wrinkles.  

Overall our experience was a good one at Embassy Suites.  Was it worth the price of $171.00. Yes I do believe so, as this was for our anniversary.  I do know if we were just going to Norman for fun we would have probably went to another hotel.  I can't believe we had to pay for parking which was $12.00.  I know when I travel to big cities they have parking fee's but dang we are here in Norman Oklahoma.  

 

Mellissa's Birthday

Buying birthday gifts for the ladies in my life makes me so happy.  I try to make sure I buy gifts they will use or like.  I also picked Mellissa up some chocolate.  Mellissa had to work so I left her gifts in her car for her.  I know she was truly surprised by her gifts.  Would like to take Mellissa and Kyndall out to ear soon!  

I am so lucky to have Mellissa in our lives.  

Happy Birthday girl!!!
