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...

Little Lessons in Faith

Last weekend, Jason and I had the privilege to go and work with a missionary who is beginning a church plant in the states. He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary. My husband replies (for at the least the fifth time) “I don’t know honey, he said he would tell us when we get closer.” I smile and try not to stress, as I am planner and when a trip is involved I have it ALL planned weeks before! True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
