Fresh Bread - Yummo!
There is something about making bread that makes every sensory bone in my body come alive! I've checked this book out from the library and hope I can keep renewing it:)
Today I'm going to try the Blue Ribbon Italian loaf that Lauren made for a family Christmas. It was amazing!!! I just might need to ask for my very own copy for my birthday... November seems so far away;) Waiting is good for my character (i'm going to repeat this to myself many times today).
Free Art work for your home:)
Thanks to my friend Zach Gilbert (his blog) I've found the best web site ever! Drew and I were wanting to fill some frames with artsy pictures. For obvious reasons most photographers charge you for their pictures, on top of printing costs. Well not at Stock.xchng! It might take a while to find some photos your really love but they are there royalty free!
I've personally loved Walden Photo here in Ames!

Flying soon?
Old Rule: Shop one of the major online travel agencies, like Expedia or Orbitz.
New Rule: Instead start your search with Kayak.com, Fly.com, and Trip Advisor.com, metasearch engines that aggregate fares from a number of sources and direct you to sites where you can buy them.
Also if you go to Bing's web site they will predict for you if the price is likely to rise or fall. If it is more than a 70% that fares will fall you might want to wait to order your ticket.
Thanks Money Magazine:)

Submission.
Being a Gospel Wife: I am his bride…
2011 at 6:36 pm | by Carolyn MahaneyFiled under Marriage Series Current Series
“Marriage was designed by God most deeply, most importantly, to be a parable or a drama of the way Christ loves his church and the way the church loves and follows Christ.” John Piper
Being a bride means--above all--that we imitate THE bride, the church. We are to respect, follow, love, and submit to our husband as the church does to Christ. "As the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands (Eph. 5.22)." That's a pretty tall order, for sure.
We have to admit, though, that our husbands might have the tougher assignment: they are to imitate Christ who "gave himself up for us" (Eph. 5.25). We have to follow, but they have to die! This series is not about the husbands, though. We want to focus on God's calling for us as wives.
Submission (Eph 5.22) and respect (Eph. 5.33) comprise the primary role of a bride, and that's who the command is addressed to. Submission was not our husbands' idea, and neither are they responsible to enforce it. This command is not divine permission for husbands to assert authoritarian leadership. Nowhere in Scripture does it say, 'Husbands, see to it that your wives submit.' That's our job.
The requirement to submit to our husbands comes straight from God to us as wives. And we are answerable to Him for our obedience. We cannot blame our husbands for our lack of submission. The responsibility is entirely ours!
And notice to whom we are to submit. As married women, we are not called to submit to all men (and neither are single women, for that matter), but rather to our husbands. Conversely, we should not seek leadership from other men, apart from our husbands, no matter how worthy they are of honor or respect. We are to follow our husbands.
But as I said, this isn't always easy. We'll talk about why, next time. Stay tuned.
