Wow! I just checked my blog and realized that its been almost 2 months since I posted anything. I guess that's a good indicator that we've had an extremely busy summer. I'm going to post lots of updates on what's been happening but just to give you a sample of all the stuff that's we've been involved in since the first of June...here goes:
- Papa's 60th birthday party
- Caiden's first teeball playoffs
- CMA music festival with my sister
- Swim Lessons for Caiden & Dawson
- 4th of July fireworks on July 3rd
- My sister's wedding
- Redecorating the boys' room
- Trip to Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana
Whew...what a list!
We also experienced some tragedy in our lives since the first of June. Our pastor's son, Gabe passed away on July 4th from injuries sustained in a car accident earlier that morning. Even though Gabe was only 17 years old, its been amazing to see the legacy he left behind. He was truly a kid who walked with God and lived for Him daily. He was a kid that you hoped your kids model after. I have watched his parents and family grieve tremendously over his loss but also rejoice that he is in heaven with Jesus. Their faith in God has been an amazing lesson in humility for me. Gabe always wanted God to be glorified by his life and I believe that is happening.
