A warm welcome!

God's plans are always bigger than ours and He has a purpose in everything! This time when Rachel tried to cross the border back into Israel after a trip out of the country, she was denied access and sent home. I know exactly how she feels, so i was sad for her discomfort, but it was such a happy reunion to see her sweet face! Im really looking forward to however much time God has for us to spend together before she goes back and i plan to make the most of it! Welcome home Rachel!!!! :D

Getting Rolling!

My aunt took my brothers and me skating tonight in Orlando and we had a blast!! Her church rented the rink out so it was all christian music and a fun family atmosphere. We all got some good exercise and enjoyed just hanging out.

blessed rain

Today was so oppressively hot i welcomed the first drop of rain that fell! What followed was a glorious thunderstorm! We sat on the front porch just enjoying the sights and sounds of God's power unleashed in nature.

I had a pretty busy schedule starting with an early morning biblestudy at Panera and then a cleaning job that lasted into the afternoon. When i got home I turned around and went back out to meet Amber at the gym. It was nice to spend some time with her. When i got home i finally got my much needed nap then woke up just in time to go pick Jayson up from work and bring him home then start dinner. I have spent the evening reading a book my grandma gave me that is about 2 inches thick. It's 3 books in one.....:) I'm wondering how long it's going to take me to get thru it, but so far it's interesting, apart from the fact that it is a little bit to descriptive and wordy.

I'm waiting to see how the rest of the week unfolds, there is so many things i want to do and only God knows what should be the priority. I just pray that He makes it clear enough for me to follow it!

Reliving a fun day!

Well i was way too worn out to post anything by the time i got home last night. So i had to wait until today to edit all my pictures and get on the blog. We had SUCH a fun time yesterday! All the rides were a blast and we didn't have to wait in line too long for anything. Cheetah Hunt was my favorite, and we got to ride Sheikra twice IN THE FRONT!!! We got wet multiple times so we never felt too hot. To save time and energy we rode the skyride back and forth across the park. I love being up that high and the chance to sit back and relax for a few minutes! All in all we made some good memories and I hope we go back soon! I'm glad we have the rest of the summer to plan trips. I just wish it was closer....

P.S. getting Jayson to take this picture made me look really stupid because i had to stand on a ledge pretty far away from the actual giraffe sculpture! But i just love these animals so i had to pose with one, and I think these shots are amusing. :)

A happy couple

I love my parents!!! I think this is such a nice picture of them enjoying themselves just being together! We walked down to the park this evening with all the kids. The weather is still so nice once the sun goes down! I took some other fun pictures and i posted them on my facebook. Don't have time for a long post tonight so goodnight!!

Farm living

Ahh, another day enjoying some great farm time! It included time relaxing on the front porch, riding the motor vehicles, shooting a few guns on the homemade shooting range, and a few paintball wars! This picture is my brother Justin and my cousin Abby all geared up to shoot some paint at each other! I was a spectator on most of these things, but no one missed out on the hot dog roast at the end of the day! Lots of yummy food involved...corn on the cob and baked beans! I feel like quite a southern farm girl right now...and quite in need of a shower!

A crop of vegetables

We spent the day up at my grandparents farm with my cousin Abby. Everyone had a great time just hanging out!! A neighbor brought over a large bucket of produce from their garden....and we didn't know what to do with it all! My grandma and I cooked a bunch of the squash up for dinner in a casserole and that was yummy, but we still have to figure out what we are going to do with all those cucumbers...not to mention that nice pumpkin! Anyways, i thought it was a fun picture with all the nice colors :)
