10 ways to love...

i found this on pinterest and i want to share... 


10 ways to love*


LISTEN without interrupting
...but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. -Prov 18:24


SPEAK without accusing
...everyone should be quick to learn, slow to speak and slow to become angry. -James 1:9


GIVE without sparing 
...but the righteous give without sparing. -Prov 21:26


PRAY without ceasing
...but the righteous give without sparing. -Col 1:9


ANSWER without arguing
...better a bite of dry bread in piece than a house full of feasting with conflict. -Prov 17:1


SHARE without pretending
...we will grow to become the mature body of Him who is the head, Christ. -Eph 4:15


ENJOY without complaint
...do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become pure. -Phil 2:14


TRUST without wavering
...it always protects, always trusts, always hopes. -1 Cor 13:7


FORGIVE without punishing
...bear with each other and forgive one another. -Col 3:13


PROMISE without forgetting
...for the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things. -Prov 13:12


I think the hardest for me is to forgive without punishing, it's so hard to be hurt and then just let it go. I think no matter how hard you try you always remember what has happened. I need to work on that because I want others to forgive me.... and how fair is it to want what you can't/won't do? "to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because GOD has forgiven the inexcusable in you." That has to be one of my favorite sayings/quotes/whatever... it's so simple and so true. I need to tattoo it on my arm! 


xoxo, ah

happy halloween!

since it's halloween i figured i would share some of my favorite costumes throughout the years :) I'm a make your costume kind of girl... enjoy! 

 I really love this picture! This was spring 2006 when some of my pledge sisters and I decided we were going to dress up (tacky style) to go to walkout. Don't know that the pledges were very happy with us but we loved it. 

Fall 2005 Halloween.. thugs. 

Fall 2007.. Mario and Luigi.

Quailman and Patty Mayonnaise from Doug.

Fall 2006.... New York and Delicious from Flava FLAV! 

I'm a thug... again... 

Martin Luther King Day Party :) had to use the clock again. 

thugs again... out of order. 

White trash bash!! 

D.C. and Boyz II Men

I got to go to D.C. a few weeks ago for work... the weather was fabulous and I had a blast. When I got back Sydney and Whitney came down to El Do for Musicfest... we went to see Boyz II Men in concert and they were AMAZZINNNG!!!

bobalouie ;)

So yesterday I was on my way to Warren for a meeting and I stopped in Hampton at the frame shop to pick up some things my mom got framed. As I turned in I notice they put in a new BBQ place in the shop... "BOB-A-LOU'S"

I immediately DIE laughing! When I was young for some reason (think it was in a song or something?) my dad called my bobalouie and i hated it. Like would cry, throw a fit and yell, "don't call me bobalobieeeee!!" (I couldn't say it either, obvs)

Still to this day my dad will start yelling, "don't call me bobbballouubiiee!!!......"

JRam is getting MARRIED!!!

This past weekend we went to Dallas to celebrate JRam's upcoming wedding~ woo hoo, bachelorette party! I had so much fun getting to spend the weekend with fabulous friends. We rented a party bus drove around Dallas most of the night, so much fun! Picture time!

So we went downstairs to get the hotel to call us a cab and one of the men asked what we were all dressed up for, when we told him a bachelorette party, he said, "why don't i just put y'all in a limo?!" OKAY!

After dinner, Syd and I in the party bus.

BESTS! Erin, Jennifer and I

FAVORITE picture of the night. Erin thought this man in the red pants was Andre 3000, so she goes to get a pic with him~ not knowing the chick in the plaid is his very jealous girlfriend. LOVE IT.

Fabric covered canvas' in my living room

Jar filled with coffee beans for brushes

skinny sangria... yumm :)

Football cupcakes... added some Arkansas to the rest ;)

Okay, gotta go pin some more ;) xoxo

ag tour

The boss was in the state most all of August and we had so much fun visiting the southern part of the state. I got to go to my first hog farm! We got to wear those full white body suits, a few layers of plastic boots, masks, and gloves... seriously took me about 5 shampoos to get the smell out of my hair. That scent was foul and I'd be okay if I never went back.

We also go to visit a watermelon farm with tons of cows and gators, first bakery ever... it was really neat, they make all the breadsticks for fazolis and that cinnabon bread you see at the grocery... lots of stuff i've seen a million times but had no idea it came from Hope, AR! Pretty sweet, here's some pics....

Matt and I at the hog farm in Kirby, AR

Priscilla and I

Stacey, Matt, Tracy and I @ Southern Bakeries in Hope, AR~ no open toe shoes allowed in the bakery, tennis shoes and dresses it is!

Those plastic boots were amazing for dancing....
