We had so much fun being together. I had a great visit home. Got to see a lot of special people and do a lot of fun stuff. It was great that Andrew planned a trip to Indiana to go to Holiday World with the whole family to make my visit and family complete! After looking at our pictures, I'm sure you can understand why it was so hard for me to leave. God has blessed me with a wonderful family.

My SIL, Libby is such a wonderful little photographer that I just had to steal her pictures. So I can't take any credit for them because hers were way better than mine. I'm hoping I get better at the picture thing once I am a MOM. ha ha

I had so much fun in Indy with Libby, Logan and the kids! There is never a dull moment with them. I can't wait until Andrew and I have our own children some day. I tell Libby that I am taking notes because her and Logan have done an amazing job at raising fun, sweet, well-rounded, obedient kids who know Jesus!! I always get kind of crazy when I am with my nephews and niece! Good Good TIMES!!

Happy Birthday, Libby!

Today is my wonderful SIL's birthday!! She is so great that she deserves her very own post. She has been like a sister to me way before my brother Logan and her were even dating. I looked up to Libby so much that I dreamed that one day her and Logan would get married!! Awwhh...My dreams came true. (Oh yeah, Logan's too.) ha ha I don't know what I'd do without her!!

If money wasn't an option this is what I would buy the Birthday Girl...

*A ticket for her and I to see the Oprah Show. (Preferably the day of the Favorite Things.)

*A big underground "HEATED" pool with a Lazy River.

*Life Supply of WoodWick candles.

*Lots of Horses and a Beautiful Stable for all of them.

*Along with the stable she will need an animal shelter...for all of her rescued animals.

*A Pottery Barn Shopping Spree.

*Blueberry Doughnuts from PhilAnn's delivered to her house every morning. (Not just Fridays.)


I miss you so much, but I will be seeing you very soon! Can't wait! Happy Happy Birthday!

Vacation-A Marvelous Thing!

Ok... if you know me vacation consists of waking up, going to the beach, laying in the sun, walking on the beach, splashing in the ocean, eating, shopping. The days ALWAYS include these lovely events (nothing more and nothing less). That's why it's a VACATION, silly! We had a wonderful time. We met my parents and Logan, Libby, Brycen, Kayden, and Lanie in Fort Myers and stayed there for a week! It was MARVELOUS!
All of our flights were good too. If you must know, flying is the most stressful thing about vacation to me. I would rather drive the 12+ hours, but my wonderful husband would never allow us to do such a silly thing. lol :) I tried really hard to convince him to let me drive, but got no where with my persuasion skills. I have none. It's like one of those things I call "let go and reach for God" scenarios. If it weren't for those situations that freak me out, I wouldn't know what it was like to totally realize that I'm NOT in control of this or ANY other situation. Snap out of it-God is! He can do anything and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it! So I am a helpless woman surrendering it all to him! Who else wants to be a helpless Hot Mess with me?? I would love for you to share with me those "let go and reach for God" situations that you go through. I am glad he puts them in our life, because it reminds me of his power and humbles me to nothing.

I will leave you with a few of the moments from the week that I will treasure forever!
