FYI: March, April and May Archives

For those of you who attempt to follow my blog, you might be wondering if I am even alive! Yes, we are very much alive and enjoying our time here in the States. However, we've been so busy LIVING our life, that I haven't had time to stop and DOCUMENT it!

So for anyone that's interested, I have recently posted a ton of pictures from last March, April and May. Included are some of our last day in the Philippines and first days in the States, Easter and Caleb's first taekwondo competition. I try to post everything close to the date it actually happened, so you'll need to look in the archives to find them. I hope you enjoy! I'd love to read your comments!!

The Best Birthday Gift Ever

October 25th, 2009 is a day that I will remember for a long time!

First of all, it was my birthday. (Although I'd like to FORGET how OLD I am now!!)

Second, I was blessed to be able to play with some of the greatest musicians ever in the morning worship service at Antioch.

Third, I spent the afternoon with the Greenbriar District GMAs, who gave me a really cool birthday cake!! (Pictures will come soon.)

Fourth, I got to eat dinner at Marketplace (my fav) with my parents and in-laws!

Fifth, my cool husband got me the gift I'd been wanting....Guitar Praise!! (It's like Guitar Hero, but with Christian music.)

But the best part of October 25th, 2009 was seeing my son baptized!

Caleb was one of 12 that were baptized that night. Here are a few of the others.

Bro. Steve Crawley baptized his daughter

Mom had a front row seat!!

This is Caleb's friend, Payton

Payton's mom, Kristen, and I grew up together and have always been close friends. In fact, she was one of my bridesmaids in my wedding. It was pretty special that our boys were baptized at the same time.

Caleb and his buddy, Turner

Thank you, Lord, for a very special day from beginning to end!

There's no place like home....

After 26 days and 14 states, we FINALLY saw this sign!!! Woohoo!!! Home sweet home!!

Wow, what a trip this has been! I feel like we've crammed about 5 or 6 vacations into one month!

Thank you, Lord, for all the things You have allowed us to see and experience.

Thank you for all the wonderful churches we've been privileged to visit and new friends that have been made or old acquaintances renewed.

Thank you for protecting us as we traveled and providing for our every need.

I pray that those we've visited with have caught a vision for what You are doing in Asia-Pacific.

And I pray that our kids have a greater knowledge and love for their home country.
