{ Dreaming about Vacations }

May 28, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 21 Comments

This year Ben and I have two pretty big trips planned to places we have never been, both without kids! What?!?! First trip is to Cabo! We are headed there to celebrate one of our good friend’s 30th birthday’s.  It also just so happens to be our 7 year anniversary as well as Ben’s birthday while we are there! We are pretty stoked! In fact July cannot get here soon enough!  Our second trip is planned for October of this year, with some of our best, life long friends, to Hawaii!!! YESSS! Pumped about it ALL!!

With these vacations coming up, especially Cabo in July, I have been keeping my eye out for key pieces that I can take along with me.  This gem was found on clearance at Target (obvi, I live there!) for 9.00… YES… 9.00.  I honestly didn’t even try it on.  I throw it in the cart and prayed that it would fit!! And praise the Lord it does!! This piece reminds me of the beach and being away from the hustle and bustle of life.  I look forward to wearing this steal of a dress on my upcoming getaways!! Where are you all headed this summer?!?!

Thank you for stopping by the blog!!

Ruthie xoxo

    Often. In most cases, fraudulent companies buy legitimate dolls and then recreate a much cheaper version, stealing the original photo from another website and using it to fool unsuspecting customers. I will. sm doll https://yourdoll.jp/product-tag/smdoll/

    I’m impressed, I must say. Genuinely rarely do you encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail to the head. Your thought is outstanding; the pain is a thing that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. My business is delighted that we found this in my try to find some thing regarding this.

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
