I am constantly drawing inspiration from the blog world. Such as, any of the links on the right! Here are a few newbies I have been amazed by! Beautiful blogs that you will be inspired by. Also wanted to announce that I am going to start Meet the blogger interviews for Inspiration Mondays! If you are interested in being featured, send me an email! (anna.liesemeyer(at)gmail.com) In the meantime, I will be contacting a few of you:)
I can’t say anything but to read her story. I sobbed the whole way through.
Today is my husband’s birthday….. I know he will be so embarrassed when he sees this, but I can’t help but dedicate today’s post to him. Besides, he IS the man who I am crazy about. We had a lot of fun this weekend celebrating with Valentine’s Day in the mix as well.
(Left – doing Mission Work, Right- during his Rugby days)
The reasons I was drawn to him early on, are still the reasons I love him so much….He is a man of service, he is a leader. We met in college. I loved going to watch him play and coach Rugby. Its amazing how much you can draw from a person’s character by how they act on and off the field. From our first days of dating, he would always find ways to serve me..humbling! And of course, he made me laugh more than anyone I knew…and still does!
Left-Our first 10K, Right- going to a Braves game)
We had so many of the same interests, but if he found out about something that meant a lot to me, he would go the extra mile to make it his interest too. Such as, going to Braves games when he is a diehard Brewers fan, going running with me (which is not his favorite way to excercise;)), making an effort to get to know each of my ten brothers and sisters, encouraging me to pursue art and design, etc. etc.
I know God created him for me. Each day I discover more reasons why…

Nothing melts a woman’s heart more than to see her husband and child interact. My husband is an amazing father. He works so hard for both of us, and is so involved in our lives. Little G can’t wait for him to walk in the door….daddy = entertainment to him:) We can’t seem to wrap our mind around this little person! He is the face of God to us, and I can’t get enough of my boys!
So, Happy Birthday to my favorite man in the whole world:)
I came acrossthis shop,and found myself wishing I could go back to the days of Grace and Audrey and go out on Valentine’s Day in one of these…what I like to call “swoon dresses.” 🙂 I am in love with this era so naturally I was drawn toTimeless Vintage Vixen.
Aren’t they lovely?
I am really looking forward to this weekend… having a little Valentine’s Day Party, celebrating my hubby’s birthday, and celebrating a little more V-day on Sunday…to appease the retailers;)
What?! I won two giveaways within a week of eachother?! So exciting! I have never won so I HAVE to thank these two lovely sponsors, and show you what lovely goodies I won:
We had so much fun with Phil and Tricia! It was so wonderful to see my soon to be-brother-in-law and hear about his jaw-dropping experiences in Afghanistan. (My husband can’t get enough of his stories:) They are moving their stuff out to CO and get hitched in APRIL!! WOO HOO! We had a lot of time to eat, drink, and be merry before we said ttfn:)
THANK YOU Phillip …
for serving our country bravely,
for putting your life on hold to help re-build a broken one,
