It came from.............
That's right, the comforter came from K-mart! I searched and searched online and didn't find anything. I finally remembered that K-mart carries Martha Stewart bedding. Although I dislike her very much, I do think her products are great. Let's just hope it looks as nice in my bedroom as it does in that picture!

Here it is!
First-Pictures of baby Rhett are coming soon. I took a zillion and it'll take a while for me to finally sit down and load them on the computer. But I'll post them soon, don't worry.
Here's the comforter I finally decided on. Thanks for your suggestions. I looked everywhere I could think of but couldn't find anything I absolutely loved at a price I could afford. I even did Google searches in case there were department stores I had forgotten about! Anyway, I really like the boxed stitching on this one. It's suede so it should be really soft. The best part is the price is the same as the other one and it even includes sheets, bedskirt, comforter, shams, and all! Tell me how you like it THEN I'll tell you where I found it. You might be surprised.

Two things.....
Just a quick update........
1. The comforter- Would you believe that I finally decided to purchase the thing and went to overstock only to find it was no longer available in the size I needed (queen)???? UGH! Now I have to begin my search all over again. If anyone has any suggestions of where I can find a good, reasonably priced comforter, please pass them along.
2. It looks like baby Rhett Willingham is on his way! I am headed to the hospital soon after school. Ginger was all set to have a C-section Monday but started having contractions this morning. If all goes as planned, she'll go in around 5:30 for the surgery. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post soon. If you're reading, say a prayer that all goes well and Ginger and the baby are healthy and safe.

I need your honest opinion....
I am in the process of searching for a new comforter. I like the one I have now (red, microsuede, down) but the stuffing has gotten flat at the top and the feathers are coming out through the material. Its time has passed I'm afraid.
I first thought I wanted to stay with the red theme. I like the color and I already have accessories to match. But, then I found this one.....

It's from overstock.com and only $99 for the comforter, sheets, and shams. I LOVE it. Then, my analytical side takes over. Is it too comtemporary? Would I get tired of it quickly? What if I don't like the material when it comes in the mail? HELP!!!! I don't know what to do.......... Please leave me your comments. I am swayed pretty easily when it comes to things like this. If you all like it then I'll decide I do too!

Trick or Treat

I told you so....
See, I told you the blogs would become regular again when my internet was hooked up!
I think a lot about what to write in my blog. I don't have a very eventful life so there's usually not too many exciting things to record. Then I realized that there's nothing else better to talk about than the one thing in this life that gives me hope.
The past few weeks have been outrageously stressful and crazy for me. Moving, school, and life in general have been less than desirable to say the least. Why? Who knows. There wasn't a particular reason. Have you ever had those days (or weeks) when Satan robs you of not only your joy, but even hopes of a better future? I was drowning in doubt, worry, and fear. I felt disconnected from God and I couldn't figure out why. I knew He was beside me the whole time but I didn't feel it. All I knew to do was pray. I prayed, prayed some more, read, prayed again, etc. I felt like I needed a miracle and because I was so wrapped up in my sin and lack of faith, I couldn't see past that moment. I wasn't better overnight. God waited. But He answered me.
This blog serves to praise our AWESOME God. I have felt so much better lately. My life hasn't changed. It's still not perfect-by far. I still worry. I am still afraid of things I shouldn't be. But, God changed me and he changed my heart. He has given me peace and security. I give Him all the glory for being my miracle and for allowing me to catch a glimpse of the future again and to live outside of what I was experiencing previously. He is so faithful and so unbelievable. I am amazed, still.
Hide me, now.
Under your wings.
Cover me, within your mighty hand.
When the oceans rise and thunders roar.
I will soar with you above the storm.
Father you are King over the flood.
I will be still and know you are God.
Find rest my soul.
In Christ alone.
Know His power.
In quietness and trust.
When the oceans rise and thunders roar.
I will soar with you about the storm.
Father you are King over the flood.
I will be still and know you are God.

What is going on????
Most of you know that I'm a loyal fan of Days of Our Lives and my tivo has been set for years to tape it daily. I was extremely saddened last week to hear that Shawn, Jack, and Jennifer were leaving the show. So, now that my internet is hooked up, I wanted to find out more information on why these changes were occuring. I couldn't believe what I found out! Not only did they leave, but the new writer is writing several of my other favorite characters out of the show. Mimi is leaving, Frankie, Austin, Carrie, and Patrick. What in the world??? Something about budget cuts-seriously. I can't see myself not watching, but they're going to have to do some major work to keep me as a viewer. I'm so sad......

Okay, okay.....I'm here.
Let me start off with a really deep breath.........I haven't intentionally taken such a long break from Blogger. For those of you that don't know, mom's house was finished last week and we have been in the process of moving. Every time I move I add a few hundred dollars to the amount of money I realize I will pay someone to do it for me next time. Although, I had some awesome friends that without their help, it would never have gotten done. If any of you are reading, which I doubt, THANK YOU!!!!
We're in the house. Moving out of my apartment has been more of a nightmare than I ever thought it would be. I was surprised at how fast we were able to get the furniture out. It was all of the junk, I repeat JUNK, that took so long to move out. Not only that, but cleaning the stove, refrigerator, bathrooms, air filters, etc etc etc. I am about to be on my way to finish all that up as we speak. Today is the day I have to be out, for good.
I've had several people ask if I was sad. Surprisingly, I'm not. I've had many great memories in that apartment. However, I'm ready to move on. I pray that this is a new beginning for me (and mom) and God is leading me to a new chapter in my life. It's gotten off to a rocky start. I'm still coming off of exhaustion from the entire process. I ask all of you reading to pray that with a new home will come a new attitude, a new passion to love God will all my heart and MIND, and just a new start to life. I need it.
I don't have internet at home yet. Comcast came out but said they would have to go through the wall to add another outlet now that we have Direct TV and can't use a splitter, which I did before. I think I'm just going to get DSL with Bellsouth. I say all that to say, until I have access from home the blogs may not be too regular. There's not usually much of a chance to blog from school. Be patient-they'll be routine again soon!
