Ah, Sweet Family Time!

I haven't blogged in like FOREVER, I have so missed the writing!! So, today will be a quickie, with just a highlight of our week away with each other. This trip was purchased two years ago! Amazing isn't it? The Lord knew we wouldn't have been able to take the trip otherwise.

We are not huge Myrtle Beach fans but if you go after Labor Day it really is quite pleasant. I will say this though, Jason and I decided after this trip that we are NOT fans of the sand, we are looking at a trip to Amish Country for next year. :-)


This is Addison's favorite part, the sand, she did NOT like the ocean AT ALL. She wouldn't even let it touch her, if we brought her close to the water she would scream "I done, I done." So, suffice it to say that she is in favor of the Amish Trip next year.



This is my sweet husband enjoying the absolutely beautiful weather. It was perfect in the mid 80's. I believe this picture was taken on September 11, it was neat at the Boardwalk they had like 7 or 8 flags all at half mast.



My monkey Ethan doing his favorite thing, climbing. We took a day trip to Huntington Beach State Park, it really wasn't the best day at the beach as it was muggy and kind of just icky, but we had a picnic under this cool tree so it was worh the trip.




Me and my Chandler on the really high, really cool, Sky Wheel. Isn't he just adorable? Anyhoo, it was a great day and we enjoyed seeing for miles around the coast line.

So, to sum it all up, we had a much needed time to regroup and relax as a family. Things have been crazy for us lately and it was so nice to take a little time out in the middle of the craziness.

I promise to get back on the blogging wagon soon! I have several ideas I would love to share and I have a delicious healthy dessert I want to try. :-)

Thanks for reading!

It's Real

A week ago today, my youngest son made the most important decision of his young life. He gave his heart and life to Jesus! As a parent, there is no greater joy than to see your child come to Jesus. I know there are some who don’t believe as I do, but I implore you not to stop reading this post. Please just read my account and allow my words to sink into your heart. Friday we decided to go to a campmeeting in NC for its final night to hear an aged man of God preach. I am going to be honest here and confess that I was really tired and considered staying home (thank God I did not). We arrived at the campground and immediately saw our former pastor (where we call our home church), I was so excited as I had not seen him in a quite a while and it was a treat to see him and his dear wife. As it turns out the tent was quite full and we had to sit separate, Jason sat in front of me and the kids with our home pastor and his wife. Throughout the service I recall looking over at Chan...

Husbands, Do You Flirt with your Wife?

I must write a disclaimer before I go too far in this post. This post is not my attempt at marriage advice, counseling or judgment. It is simply a glimpse into our life, which is what this blog is about, our Little Journey in Faith. We will celebrate 16 years of marriage this August and in that time have faced many challenges and obstacles, just as all marriages face. We have gone through a miscarriage, financial ruin, loss of jobs, moving, spiritual warfare, temptation, backsliding, child-rearing, surgeries, and in these days physical pain. Not to mention the personal battles that are not for others to read about. But, today, I want to remind all the husbands out there of the importance of flirting or wooing your wife. Husbands, do you remember those early days of dating when you would do anything to make your girl smile? The thrill of seeing her look at you with love in her eyes? Did you know that you can still experience that? You can still have the playful banter of those dati...

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers)  As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...
