38

My sweet sister invited me over and cooked a wonderful Italian meal for me and got a cake with presents. She loves me unconditionally and I am so blessed to have her in my life.

fun at topsail

through the years we have gone to topsail to stay with our friends. Michelle stays with Lisa and I stay with Allyson. It is always a fun trip. I am so glad our kids can grow up together.

happy Birthday to me... girls weekend

So blessed God put these girls in my life 8 years ago. I am thankful they love me and are my sweet friends. We had the best time. We played dubsmash on the phones all weekend, singing songs and just laughing. We tried to canoe and that was a trip, Allyson and I trying to fit in a one seat canoe. Many laughs were had. What a great birthday.

family fun at the beach

 Nathan's family came to our beach house for the weekend. We had the most fun. The kids loved being with their cousins and we loved spending time with the adults. We got to hang out with Greg and Natalie, which never happens. So I was so excited to have time with them. It was a great weekend and of course Nathan grilled the best food ever. Grouper, burgers and shrimp tacos.. Wow that was awesome.

Happy double digits Ethan

 Oh my heart can't handle this. Ethan is 10.
He is so happy to be double digits.
Ethan loves baseball and hanging out with his friends. Nerf gun wars and Minecraft are things he enjoys. I am so blessed to have such a loving son.

Who doesn't love VBS

I have always loved VBS. When I was a little girl I went every year. When I was in College I came home to teach VBS all through my adult life I have volunteered someway with VBS. I love taking a car full of kids to VBS. The singing and the laughter and excitement makes me smile!  This year a lot of boys from Ethan's baseball team came with us.  3 of the boys excepted Jesus as their Savor. I was so overjoyed. What a wonderful week it was.
