Well I finally started reading: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.Oh my, I just LOVE it. I really think this read is going to be life changing. I wanted to share a couple of really good things from the book so far:Your earthly body is just a temporary residence for your spirit. The Bible calls your eartly body a "tent," but refers to your future body as a "house." The Bible says, "When this tent we live in - our body here on earth - is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us... Read Full Story
This past weekend was a great weekend. We had a family Reunion for my husband side of the family. It was great to meet the family that I had only heard about, after 7 years of marriage. He had not seen most of them for 13 years. We swam for hours and rode the jet ski and boat. It was so fun. We stayed at the camp site in a camper the whole weekend and returned home with sunburns. That was the only thing I wish that hadn't happened. What did I expect though swimming for hours on end. Read Full Story

Well we did it. We finally opened up the box to our family tent that was purchased by my mother-in-law a couple years back. It was an exciting adventure for sure. They loved the camp fire and wanted so badly to jump in the water. It was getting dark and my fears took over so I didn't let them in the water this time. We still have all summer though. I'm know we'll be back for some more camping soon. Read Full Story
