April, May and June

What a crazy few months and I/we have loved every moment that has been given us. We started out in April going to Panama City with David, Debbie, Amber and her friend Taylor. We stayed in a condo on the 16th floor and the view was amazing. Not to mention having time with our best friends in the world (30+ years) it was a nice break that we needed.

Then it was off to NYC with my girls and Debbie, April and Amy. We had a fabulous time and I am still smiling just thinking about the time together.
The first of May found us in Arizona with Destin and April. This was a really special time for us to see God's wonderful creation, get some rest, and hang out with my amazing niece and her husband.

We just returned from visiting Matthew and Emily. We went to the beach in Wilmington, NC on Saturday. While there we rode a ferry over to South Port and ate at one of those "mom and pop" places that has been around forever. I can truly say I have had the best crab cakes, ever.
The fun part about this picture was watching them climb up in the tree. Cute couple.....
This is on the ferry over to South Port. I just love this girl and I am so proud of her. She works hard and whatever she pursues, loves to have a good time, and she takes really good care of our son. Plus, she is a great shopper, which is what we did on Sunday...
I just feel really blessed. God has done exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that I could ever ask or think.... Thank you Lord for my health and for putting so many people around me that love me.
What's next???? June 1st it's back to WACHOVIA BANK for me. I will be the Teller Manager at the Kennestone office which is right by the hospital. God has made it very clear that this is His will for me. I'm acting out of obiedience and trusting Him for the future. He knows how important my family is to me because He put the love that I have for my family in my heart. So, I'll trust Him to make me available when I'm needed or called upon to help.
LaurieAnn is coming in June for her birthday, Yeah!!!! and we will see most of the family again in June at the beach.

Arizona was awesome!!!

Yeah for Fro Yo....gotta find one in the ATL

This past weekend at Destin and April's home was truly a memory that we will treasure for a long time. We got to see some amazing sights but best of all we were able to spend a lot of time with Destin and April. Destin and April both had all day Saturday and Sunday off which is a rare event for them. Saturday we slept, shopped, ate, slept some more, went to a D-backs game, and had some really good pizza after the game.
Sunday was church, grilling out, hanging out by the pool, napping, hiking, and some really good mexican after the hike.
sundown over Phoenix...good times!

Monday we traveled to the Grand Canyon and came back through Sedona to see the red rocks.
We ate at a really cool restaurant on their outside deck where we could watch the sun go down.















There are not enough words to express the beauty of this awesome sight....

All of this was very special but what blessed us the most was just spending time with Destin and April. We are very blessed to have 4 great children and the Lord has given very special mates to 3 of them. But we are "triplely" blessed to have nieces and nephews who love the Lord and are serving him each and every day!!! We love Destin and April as if they were our very own. Granted, we did get live around April as a child, which was very interesting at times :) So, to get to be around her as an adult and see and talk about what God is doing in her life was a real treasure.










Memories...........they are what last. Let's keep making them........................
