They're Back!!!!!

My Heart is HAPPY!

Please be praying for those who haven't come back, 

yet that will return quickly, and safely. 

Thanks!

Purge

I had most of my things moved before I left for holiday...or so I thought.

Now that I am back and I am trying to clean up my old apartment...O'my

the little things that for 4+ years have been put in drawers or on shelves.

Now comes the not so fun part of moving. Going through all these boxes

to see whats needed and what can go. Thankfully a lot just goes before it

even gets into a moving box!

Recap

Since I had a longer stay in the states this time I tried to

focus on the simple every day things that I never get to do.

like watching my uncles compete in the antique tractor pull.

and watching Ryan coach.

 Hanging out with friends...

I Praise Jesus for friends

 And the continual Blessing they are.

 I was able to get in some unexpected visits. Yay!

 and some I got to see more then once and that was great too!

 Then there were afternoons just spent out at the lake. Chatting.

and relaxing.

 And I loved each moment

 that I was able to soak in just a little more time

 with each one of these kiddos

 that I love with all my heart!

One of my last nights in the states God showed me this amazing

sunset. So I stopped in the middle of a country road to take 

a picture:)

Wonder Memories Made.

Thank You Jesus for each one.

I'm Home!

After an AMAZING and fun filled time in the states. I am happy to be home.

Now things should settle down a little (or not at all) and I will be able to post

more about whats going on.

Pictures soon come.

The Lakes

This past week I was able to drive up to Lake James

to meet up with friends. I LOVE this time each year.

After a week plus of going non stop I was ready to slow

down a bit and doing this each year gives me the perfect time

to do just that.

 Waking up with the sun

 Walking to Tom's for breakfast

 Sharing this time with people i love.

 Quiet mornings by the lake with my Abba, donuts, and coffee:)

 A day spent barefoot. In the water or out on the boat or laying

out by the water...it doesn't get much better!

And most important lots of time to catch up with those I love.

Thank You Jesus!

Weekend at the Dells

One condo + 7 adults + 4 kids = a lot of craziness.

But it was fun. 

Praise Jesus for families!

Babysitting

That's what my first week back in the states consisted of.

And I LOVED it. 

Thank You Jesus for These Blessings.
