JORD creates beautiful wooden works of art you can wear, and my husband was so excited to get his watch! We had to wait until Summer cooled just...slightly (lol this is Texas so Summer really won't be gone for another month) but we are ready to review and show you this amazing beauty!

Deep in the beautiful country side of northern Texas (that alone is a beautiful fictional read isn't it), a mother stumbles out of bed as her alarm rings at 6:55am. That ring, that golden ring that has brought everyone misery for years and decades is forcing us to climb out of our comfy, cozy nooks and make the same trek we've made before. After a long, groanful journey down the hallway, I find my small hobbit (my precious)  lying in the bed hiding under a sheet hopeful I won't find her. "Come on, sweet one it's time to go." I pull the sheet off her to find her giggling and shaking her head. "I thought that would work this time!" She says, as if the magic from the fairies and elves betrayed her. Preparing for our trek is long, as we dress, eat our bread and mead -- Apple juice come on I'm not crazy yet... and our bread is with melted butter because we're not savages, we're hungry for toast -- we brush hair and try to look ...

Disclaimer: This will be sappy, this will be true and this is how I feel. At the age of 2, my biological mother made some pretty drastic mistakes that impacted both herself and I. I grew up living 5 days a week with my Grandmother, and the weekends with my Uncle and Aunt. I wrote about my Uncle previously, thanking him for all he's done and how I truly feel that he's my Father. But I never knew my biological father, so he's the only father I ever knew. I never could quite figure out how to put into words how I felt for my Aunt because I had not only my biological mother for a short time, but my Grandmother as well. The time has come, and I hope to show her just how much I love and appreciate her.

A few weeks later, we were given our beautiful images from them and immediately I knew what I wanted to do: I wanted to put my daughter's gorgeous face on canvas so that forever I could remember that amazing day. We were able to do so and I have to say, beautiful!
