Memphis/Arkansas Trip

Last month some of us headed to Memphis to help The Morning Center get off the ground and start seeing patients!

It was such a great experience.  That trip helped me understand how much women need our help.

Then we got to go see Christopher!! Although we only had a few hours with him, it was really good.  Some days I go to tell him something, and then realize he's gone.  Those days are hard.  But, I'm thankful he's just a text or phone call away.  Technology is great for that. :)

Another Florida Trip!

Yes, we went to Florida again!  I went back for more treatment, and had a very successful week this time!  Just mom and I went. 

We were very blessed to have a beautiful, traffic-free drive down.  On our way back, well, that's a different story.  :)

Arrived!  

 On Sunday we worshiped at St. Andrews, and also got to visit with some of the Sprouls, which involved frozen yogurt. :) 

This is downtown Celebration where we went every day for my treatment. 

It's always been a tradition to get a picture beside the bear.  :) 

It has been an amazing week.  The progress in my treatment was more than I had ever thought.  And it's so good to be back home!

Going Away Party

Last Sunday we had a going-away party for my brother.  And let me just say, I don't know what we'd do without our church family. 

We first had a delicious dinner.

These two goofy girls eating.

Elisha.

After dinner, we all gathered around in a huge circle and played the hat game.  Mr. Lovett organized everything.

We have some gorgeous ladies in our church :) 

Look closely...

Abi and Kira.

After the game, there were quite a few people who gave Chris advice, encouragement, and told stories. 

This is Mr. Bradshaw showing Chris... I don't remember...

Then Mr. Howard and Seth graced us with a dance from Fiddler On The Roof. They were pretty good!

Then we ended it with a dance to Shalom Chaverim. 

It was a sad but good time.  I have learned two things from this: I will never be able to leave my church for any reason.  Never.  I love them all way too much.  And, no matter how hard your life is, you can get through it, because God would not put you through something you can't handle.

April 20th

We celebrated Camille's 17th birthday this evening.  Her birthday is actually Wednesday, but because of all the hectic and crazy things that are happening next week, we did it tonight.  Anyway, happy birthday to my bestie!  Don't know what I'd do without her.  We do everything together.  Here are pictures from the evening!

Table decor.

Love her SO much.

I think she liked the decorations...

Domino has been really sweet today. I think he knows it's her birthday ;) 

Opening presents!  

Need a caption for this...

 

Flourless Chocolate Cake.

She laughs EVERY time it's her turn to blow out candles and we have no idea why.

One more picture together.

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Girls Day Out

Yesterday two of my best friends, along with my sister, and mom went out to Nashville for the day to celebrate my birthday!  We had all kinds of fun.  

It started out with ear piercing at Claire's.  

 

Yes, my dear friend and I were pinching my arm, but it really didn't do any good.

After Claire's, we headed over to my favorite jewelry store, Charming Charlie!  We were pretty successful in finding stuff.  ;)

 

And then we finally got to try frozen yogurt at Sweet CeCe's!!  It was amazing.  We all got dark chocolate and raspberry flavors. Definitely going back.   

 And the car ride home was pretty fun too!  Thanks to moms iPad and Photo Booth. 

We then ended the evening with some really delicious sandwiches, an adorable cake, and Father of the Bride 2!  Thanks to everyone for making this possible!!

Florida Trip - November

As you all may know, our entire family went on a trip to Florida for more of my scoliosis treatment.  This has been my third time going down for treatment, but all of my family has never gone!  Here are a few pictures from that week. 

Every time we go to Florida, we pass the Summit Racing store.  Daniel has always wanted to go in there and we finally did just for him!  He was pretty thrilled.  

We rented a house and it had a fairly decent pool and hot tub!  It was pretty awesome to wake up in the morning and swim until lunch.  

Domino did an awesome job traveling, and sleeping.

The little town where we went everyday has some amazing scenery!  This is my favorite spot.  

I just love this place!

It was truly wonderful to have my siblings with me.  They put up with a lot of waiting, and waiting, and waiting.  But I'm so glad they could come!

Michigan Trip Day 1

Today we traveled to Michigan for my cousins wedding! Here are a few pictures from the trip. We took along our dog, Domino. And he did a wonderful job traveling after he found some comfy spots in the car. :D

It's SO flat here!! I mean, you can see for miles and miles.
