Thank you!

I want to say thank you to the 28 people in this picture that sacrificed their time, money, and life to serve God in Jamaica. Through your service you have touched so many lives not just in Jamaica but in the states as well. As I have listened to your stories and seen your pictures I have seen a glimpse of who God is! Your time in Jamaica has made me look at my life and examine my relationship with God. Thank you for your challenges. Never let the time you had in Jamaica leave you. Allow your life to be forever changed! Thank you for being the light.

Happy Father's Day!

In honor of Father's Day, this coming Sunday, my blog is dedicated to my dad! I am and always will be a self proclaimed Daddy's girl! It was started December 16, 1985 around 3:26 p.m. when my dad became a dad for the first time! I am told he held me all night and wouldn't let go. I love my dad! He has always been there for me through the happy and hard times. I talk to him pretty much every day through email and we talk about anything from music, movies, tv shows to church, books, and life in general. Dad is so fun! I can truely say I have the greatest parents in the world. They are so fun and if you know them you are nodding your head in agreement. Dad is such a gentle and sweet man. He will do anything for you and cares deeply about people. He's a hard worker and a very dependable person. He lets you know if you are doing something stupid (like riding a big wheel in your pretty dress) and encourages you when you are doing something great. He has always stood behind me in whatever I have done! He is a great man of faith. He knows his Savior on a personal level and is excited to tell others about him! I am very fortunate to have a dad that loves and cares deeply for me. I wouldn't trade him for the world. On this Father's Day I want to honor my dad, Mark Plunkett! I hate that I can't be there with you but I know you will be jamming to your new toy!
LOVE YOU! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Old to New

This past weekend I decided it was time to update my free furniture from the Gardners!! It took a lot of work but I love taking something old and adding some love and seeing it turn into something completely different!

This is the before shot
After some long hours, many trips to both Lowes in Florence, and paint on the carpet because I was too stubborn to ask someone to help me move the dresser to my room the dresser turned out great...in my opinion

After shot!
It goes very nicely with the 2 bedside tables that I also painted!
