Beaufort, NC

Since we do not have a beach house this year we decided to rent a condo for 3 weeks.  We had some trouble the first day. The four runner I was driving just stopped working while I was going 70mph, yes, stopped. It was very scary. Then the boat Nathan, Ava and Ethan were on stopped in the middle of the inlet and I did not know where they were for 45 min. because Nathan did not have his phone. Very Scary. God was looking after us that day with the car and boat. Both times we were safe and had help. Well there's a way to start a vacation!  It rained a lot so we went home a lot but when we were there it was beautiful. The view was the best part about it. I can't describe it. In the morning I would wake up and have my coffee and watch the boats go out. In the afternoon we would sit and watch the sun go down. Just amazing. I did celebrate my 37th b day here and it was so nice. Aunt Nat-Nat,Uncle Greg and the boys came for 2 days to play! I was so proud of myself at the end of the trip I had to drive the boat all by myself to meet Nathan at the loading dock, I had to drive the boat on the ramp then on the trailer so Nathan could strap it on. I did great. Nathan was so proud of me and I was super proud of myself! Overall it was a wonderful time.


































9 years old

 My sweet Ethan has turned 9. I can't believe he is 9. Another year has flown by and I just can't stand it. I love to see the young man he is becoming but it breaks my heart that he is growing up so fast. He loves baseball and his best friend is his dad.
He has the kindest heart. I can tell he is getting older because he is asking for money and not toys. God has blessed us with such a special young man. I love him with all my heart.
