A Birthday Wish...

Yesterday was Wade's birthday.....(most of you already know!)

So I tend to become a sappy mess when it comes to holidays and such and yesterday was no exception. Since I didn't do a sappy post for our anniversary you all get to read it now. (You bunch of lucky peeps!!)

Wade,

There is no other person on earth who I love as much as I love you. You are so awesome in so many ways. You are an awesome husband, father, spiritual leader of our house, worship leader, teacher, and the best friend I could ever want. You totally get me (and that is not always an easy task....lol)! You keep me on track - I do try, it's just so hard with all my ADD!! I am so blessed that you are in my life.

I pray that we have many more holidays to share together. I love making memories with you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

A Cool Thought...

I just had to post this for all of us who was able to attend/work this past weekend at Tres Dias!! Read it to see how awesome God is ---again!!!!


A Grace-Filled Woman

Jul 21st, 2008 by wofblog

I want to become the full-grown, fully mature, grace-filled woman that God envisioned before I was even born.
I want to be the full-size, grown-up version of that wonder-filled baby girl He knit together in my mother’s womb.
I want to be so in tune with Him and His thoughts and ideas for me that I can know and celebrate on a daily basis that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I want His dream for me to be a reality. . . .
This great God of ours works in us to make us all we can be. He does not just sit on the sidelines waiting for us to trip up while we try to be a bigger girl than we are. He just longs for us to grow and live each season of our lives to the max, and He empowers us to do it if we really want to.
That’s what being a Big Girl is all about: living life to the fullest in all ways, in all places, and in all situations.

My Random Thoughts...

Ok so I have several things to say and you all know my brain works best in a numbered kinda way so......

1. The summer is going by WAY to fast!! I can't believe my little Abs is going to kindergarten in a couple of weeks. I am getting a little anxious about this but as Wade keeps telling me, "Everybody feels this way when their first one goes!"

2. I am completely overwhelmed by God! He is so awesome and I love seeing Him work out things. As most all of you know, I was honored (more than words) to work this past Tres Dias weekend and my sister, Angela attended. All I can say is - "WOW GOD!!"

3. We are in the middle of music camp this week at EMC and the kids are doing such a great job! They sound beautiful and I can't wait for you all to hear them on Sunday morning!

4. I have just faced one of my biggest fears....LOL....Most all of you know that I do not like to drive but today I went to pick up Brodie & Taylor for Brenda. I had to drive up Monteagle to Manchester (it's the 1/2 point!!) On the way home the entire trip was severe thunderstorms. Wind, pounding rain, lightening, the whole shabang.....But I made it!!! YEAH ME!!!!...LOL

5. Wade is out of town until Thursday night. He left this morning for a science teacher convention in Atlanta. I already miss him so much - I truly enjoy being with my hubby!! I feel like we have had no real time together in weeks - so next week (it's his b-day on Tuesday) I feel a date night coming on! And let me say it is much overdue!!

I hope all of you are having a great summer too!!
Lots of love!!!

The Driftwood Beach...

I have been trying for 2 days to post a video & pics so this is all I could do. (The internet connection in our condo hasn't been too great!!)

We miss you all and can't wait to see you this weekend!!!

4th of July....Jones Style!!

Girls Day Out...

On Monday Abs, Brenda, & I spent the afternoon getting all pampered! I realize I should do this more. Abs just loved it!!!


Brenda showin' off her new mani!!




At the end - Nana & Abs drying! (Sorry I got out of order...lol)
