Toni Maisano

Life hasn’t slowed down since my last blog post.  If anything, it’s sped up.  Since March 31st, I have…

…taken pictures for a wedding invitation I can’t wait to receive .

…had one of my wisdom teeth removed just because I felt like it one afternoon.

…enjoyed the bluebonnets.

…taken pictures of a beautiful girl who happens to be my sister.

…gone to the courthouse for jury duty, but didn’t get selected.

*Insert boring courtroom picture that Toni didn’t take*

…and a whole lot more.

We’ve been having a great time with some sweet friends of ours who are here for a few days.  Meet Josie:

I’ve known Josie now for going on 6 years.  She is a beautiful young woman who loves the Lord and has been a huge inspiration to me of Christ-like joy.

This is her little sister Farah.

They love each other.

Farah and Patti appear to be best buddies themselves.

And I think they seem to have a pretty good time together.

Last Friday, I decided to buy flowers for some of my sisters and my mom.  We were just finishing up our first week of foster care, and everyone was working so hard, so it just seemed like something fun to do.  I walked into HEB, only to realize that I was trying to buy flowers the Friday before Valentine’s Day. 

That was a complete coincidence that I found rather amusing.  The store was filled with all of these guys buying discounted flowers and cardboard boxes filled with chocolate and teddy bears that said “I love you”.  And then there was Toni, searching for the right bouquet of flowers for her mom. 

Then yesterday, I was shopping for my mom at WalMart and saw all of the leftover flowers that were discounted even more since we all know that no one buys flowers unless it’s Valentine’s Day.  They looked so pretty and photogenic…and I really couldn’t help myself.  So I bought some more .
