Thank You Jesus...

really, for so much!!





**First, for my best friend and wonderful husband!! I promise I couldn't make it without him!! He is my EVERYTHING!!

**Second, for amazing friends, who are Jesus to me!!



Our friends in our small group have a condo in Orange Beach and graciously offered it to me and Clint to use for a long weekend!! We were shocked, overwhelmed with gratitude, and extremely thankful for such a blessing!! I had been praying for awhile now about getting some quality time with Clint, just not at home, but some time away -away from bills, chores, school, Fairfield, and children!! Clint and I have not had a vacation together since before Will was born (almost 9 years ago)!! TOO LONG! It was so exciting to have some alone time together!! We could talk to each other without interruption ~I could turn all of my attention on him and I got all his attention!! ;) It turned out to be such a special time!! The weather was absolutely perfect -mid to upper 70's and sunny!! We took a walk each morning on the beach (after enjoying coffee and beignets at Cafe Beignet) and then in the afternoon sat on the beach for hours -soaking up the sun and each other!! :) It was so relaxing!! I loved it!! We ate at my most very favorite restaurants -Oyster House, Sea & Suds, and King Neptune's!! We shopped some and I even got a pedicure!! It was definitely an answered prayer (the trip -not the pedicure... never mind the pedicure was an answered prayer too) hehe!!

Thank you John and Meredy for showing the love of Christ to us!!

Hey! I got your comment on my blog. That particular painting is sold but I would love to make you another one for the price of supplies. I could do it with the same colors. Or, if you want it to match her room I can use whatever colors you want. Just let me know.

ps. That is so neat that your mom does that!

You're so sweet. I would be glad to do that. I'll just need to buy the canvas and maybe one tube of paint. It should be $5 or less though. I am going tomorrow to buy a canvas for something else so I will look and see the price. I think I may even have a coupon :)

ps. your word verification is "likes". I love it when they actually spell something.
