A look into my week...

I have a BUSY week planned, but before I can tell you about it, I need to show you a "happy" that my mom bought me...... some really cute Dr. Seuss notepads and stickers!!! I LOVE Dr. Seuss and I started collecting books about a year ago and I get one for pretty much every occasion. She found these at the dollar spot at Target on Thursday. Thanks mom!!

On another note... I have a NEW RIDE!!!

Haha!! I'll be driving this van for the next week transporting 4 of the Mississippi Junior Miss candidates. I love Junior Miss and have been attending for years. This year, I'll be taking the girls to and from practice each day, and to several of the night time parties. This week is going to be a lot of fun!!

They say it's your birthday!!!

Today is KELLY'S birthday!! Happy birthday girl! I hope you have had a wonderful day. I miss you and your cute little family! Give MK kisses for me!!

I'm home for a while...

Since April, I've been on the "go" and living out of a suitcase.... okay, not really, but it certainly feels like it! From the beach, to the Dominican Republic, to out of town weddings, to youth camp, kids camp... I've been one busy girl! Anyway, I got home from Centri-Kid yesterday and I think it's safe to say that my group of 29 had a TERRIFIC time! Thanks for all of your prayers while we were gone. There were so many highlights-- one being that one of our kiddos accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior the last night of camp and I had the opportunity to lead her in the sinners prayer and experience that with her! Praise the Lord!

Prior to camp, our family had a big 4th of July cookout complete with ribs, chicken, potato salad, baked beans, roasted corn salad, all different types of chips and dips, homemade peach AND butterfinger ice cream! The highlight of the night was getting to see Harper Anne!! She just layed on my bed and laughed and made funny faces! I'm so glad that she got a good report from her doctor and is now able to go out in public places... everywhere except daycare and church). I can't wait to take her to my favorite restaurant... OUTBACK :)

Pray for our campers!

We have arrived at Shocco Springs in Talladega, AL and we are experiencing our first full day of camp! Please keep us in your prayers this week. There are 29 of us from FBC but over 800 kids are participating in camp this week. Pray for strength and safety for the hot days ahead and pray for our kids-- pray that they will dive into God's word in a way they've never done before. Pray that they'll open their ears and hearts to hear and recieve what God has in store for them this week!!

Serious little campers!
Wild Little Monkeys!

Travel on over...

Travel on over to Erin's blog and get updates on our Harper girl! She's doing great!!

Harper Anne

I had no clue that my blog updates were in such high demand. Ha :) I've been updating my facebook status all day long but haven't really sat down to write on the blog.

Harper girls surgery went very smooth this morning. They called to let Erin know that they had started around 8:30. Things went very well and Erin & Chad were pleased with the updates they recieved along the way. Aside from one set back in surgery, the doctor was very pleased with the outcome.

Our whole family got to go in ICU and see Harper Anne for just a few minutes around 1:30 this afternoon. She looked just as beautiful as ever and so peaceful. They are continuing to watch her blood pressure levels and hope that they can get her off the ventilator during the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Keep praying for our Harper girl. She needs to get off the vent, her blood pressure needs to come down and she does not need any complications at this point-- so far, so good!!

Our family thanks you for your prayers. We are grateful to God for what he has already done in Harper's life and what He'll continue to do. Our lives have definitely been blessed by her!! We'll continue to keep you updated!

P.S. Keep checking Erin's blog for more updates-- her updates are more accurate than mine, for sure!

Playing Catch-up!

As I type, sweet Harper Anne is being prepped for surgery. They took her back at 5:30 this morning and now we are just waiting. So... since there's a long day ahead, I decided that I would blog about everything that's been going on in my busy life!!

THE EXACT SAME DAY... I sang at Hailey and Brandon's wedding. This was a beautiful wedding and I was so grateful that Hailey asked me to be a part of her big day.

A few weeks passed and it was time to go to my 6th wedding of the spring so far. Jessica and Heath tied the not a few weeks ago and my cousin Erin was there. We had to get a picture of her and her new haircut. PRECIOUS!! It's kind of ironic that we pretty much matched that night.

I also have had some time to catch up with my friends Brittany and Briana. I ate lunch with Brittany a lot during my year at MC and I don't get to see her as often as I wish I could. We always have so much time together.
