But God

These three high school friends have made 180s since hanging out last. They had other plans back then BUT GOD had greater ones in store. They are examples of answered prayers.

A Night Away

We enjoyed our lake view from our room at Callaway Gardens especially during breakfast. We had a nice conversation with no interruptions. It is the simple things in life when you get away.

We had an amazing weekend at our church's marriage retreat this weekend. It far exceeded our expectations! Our guest speakers, Bob & Audrey Meisner, were amazing. If your marriage is on the brinks or if you simply need a boost then check out their resources.

Budding Artist

She told me she was playing her cello.
She's all about drawing smiley faces.

Transition

Bryan rightly said about this picture, "Beautiful!" He was referring to Anna being asleep which is something valued all the more now that she is in her big girl bed and testing her new found freedom.

I am in love with her new bed. I wanted her to have an antique bed and during my rare ventures to antique stores I never could find one I liked. Even my online searches were unsuccessful. But God knew and gave me the desires of my heart. My grandmother found this one FOR FREE. She was at the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time. Thank you, Lord, for giving me the desires of my heart and saving me money and time in the search.

Wish the picture showed her cute IKEA damask bedspread that we got on clearance and matches her curtains. That will be for a later time.

This was taken before her last nap in her crib. She never learned to climb out but was running out of room so we made the move.

Amusement at Myrtle Beach

Love both their expressions!

Waiting to Eat

After waiting for three hrs for dinner we deserved some balloon hats.

Feeding the catfish.

They're saying, "Feed me!"

These three girls are some of my favorite teenagers! My niece is awesome and has equally awesome friends.

Getting Anna on the beach was a major accomplishment in our world! She ended up liking it - kinda.
