So excited I almost cried!

Well, it happened for the first time last night in the history of me being a youth pastors wife... 1 of my girls asked for boy advice! To some this may not seem like a big deal, but it is! Just the fact that she valued my opinion enough to ask sincerely was enough to make me cry! Who knows if she'll follow through with what I told her but now next time it will be easier for her to ask me advice b/c she already has about the big stuff!

Flower Vases

I've never been one to keep up with a hobby especially a creative one. Recently I've got into designing flower vases. I use a blank glass vase get ribbons and buttons that color coordinate and glue them in a decorative design around the vase. I started making one as a gift idea and it turned out great! I'll get some pictures and post them. I've thought about making them to sell but don't know where I would get the opportunity to sell them at. Just wanted to share what is making me happy right now! Thanks for reading...what are your hobbies?

No more MOHAWK!


Brandon decided to mention in a sarcastic manor that the boys going to camp should all get mohawks not thinking that the 12 and 13 year old boys would really do it, they show up to church with crazy mohaks the Sunday night before we leave for camp. After 2 back to back weeks of camp it got shaved off today! For those of you who don't have the honor of knowing my husband, he is crazy about his hair and what it looks like. So it's just funny to see him with a shaved head and no hair! Thats all!

Sr. High Camp

God is so good! After a great week of jr. high camp we had another fantastic week but with our sr. high! It's amazing that we've been here for over a year and this is our 2nd camp with our students! It is a lot more fun when you know the students! It's great to get away for a week to focus on Christ and our relationship with Him.

Jr. High Camp

God is amazing! We just got back on Friday from a week long with our jr. high group! We took 8 students and one of our girls got saved while there! We had an absolutely wonderful time! It blows my mind that God gives us a job where we can go to camp every summer and get paid for it! There is something about leaving cell phones, mp3's, and t.v.'s at home and driving 3 hours away with no parents that brings out the best in students.
