Thursday Thursday.

So, I might as well jump right in. It's already Thursday! Wow. Matt and I had such a great time with Roxanne and Jake last weekend. They were our first official guests to come in town since we've been married! My parents graciously let us stay out at their place while they were out of town, seeing as how a 1 bedroom apartment doesn't seem to fit 2 couples in there very comfortably. Thanks for coming to TN to vacation you guys! We loved you all being here and I must say, we have some great memories to reminisce on. Nothing like a little backseat choreographed dance/sing party, right Rox?!...Or a little songwriting for Matt's rapporteur -- "Thicker than a Snicker, thinner than a Thin-mint"...Or a little meet and greet with Kix Brooks from Brooks & Dunn -- Priceless! :)

In other news, Summer is here! It actually felt like it started weeks ago though. I'm ready for those nice warm Saturday boat days.

So, not to end the blog abruptly, but I want you to soak in this scripture that Matt shared with me yesterday. It's a blessing from our Creator. May I Fear the Lord!

Psalm 128
"Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots* around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. The Lord bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children's children! Peace be upon Israel!"

*An Olive Tree is said to be a very valuable tree in the lands of the Bible. An Olive Shoot could symbolize the children being valuable and producing much fruit in the land.

Lovely Friday!

Yes, today is Friday and I couldn't be happier. I just love Fridays...Knowing that I get to spend all weekend with my man, no agenda, and sleeping past 6:30. Ahh, this makes me smile. The past two weeks have been quite busy for us. We've flown to TX and back, Matt's had several shows (Yay! I love going to his shows), a work party, helped friends move, Matt's friend's shows, got to see the GRO boys open for Kris Allen, and had a bachelorette party last night. All of this has been a blast, but being busy like this really makes me appreciate those moments where you get to sit on the couch and kick up your feet, or lay in bed and read a good book without being sleepy. :) I don't ever want to take those moments for granted.

I'm really looking forward especially for this weekend. My good friend Roxanne is coming to TN w/ her husband Jake. They'll get in at about 5p tonight. Rox and I have been friends since High School, but really became close in college. She and Jake got married 2 years ago...That's really hard to believe that 2 years has already past. We really haven't spent any time together since her wedding...2 years...Wow! We've got alot of catching up to do!

I hope you all have a fantastic and restful weekend. Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad! You have such an amazing heart and have taught us kid's so much about what it means to love. You deserve to be celebrated. I love you! Also, a Happy Father's Day to Papa Jenks, my second dad - I'm so blessed to have such an amazing Father-in-law...And to Travis and Shawn. Ya'll are such great fathers - May you all be blessed! <3

Congrats to the Hubs!

I must brag for a second...Please take a moment to check out my hubby and 2 other writer's whose song just got cut by Jake Owen! I'm one proud wife! :)

Oh the life.

I can't take credit for these two photos. All credit goes to Daniella at http://dressdesigndecor.blogspot.com/. I am dreaming of this picnic and the bicycles as I type right now. How nice would this be?

The beginning...

Hello and welcome to my site, For the Love...! This will be my second attempt in the blogging world, in hopes that it does not fail like the first. ;) Although, I don't think it will this time around!

I've been wanting to create this blog for quite some time to keep you all posted on the latest happenings with the Jenkins clan here in Nashville and also use this as an outlet to share about some things that I am passionate about. I've been following several of my friends' blogs for quite some time and I think it's only fair to have something in-turn for them to read. Ya'll have inspired me. Thank you!

I will try my best to post as frequent as I can and try not to bore you too much! Thanks for visiting, For the Love... I hope to hear from you soon.
