Summer Fun

This summer has been a total blast! After getting home from Aly's wedding we have had something going on every weekend. :) 2 weeks after the wedding on June 26, 2010 I ran in my first 5K ever! It was awesome. I finished 3 mins under the time I had set for myself, and I can't wait to run in my next 5k. I plan to run September 11th's 5K in Shreveport to help support the Shreveport Bossier Rescue Mission (where I work)!!! It is a great way to start your weekend and dang, talk about a sense of accomplishment! HELLO!!!!! Anyway, 5 of us ran together at the Peach Festival 5K in Ruston, La.




David and I attended our 3rd Takin' It to the Streets outreach ministry that the Rescue Mission puts on for lower income areas in the Shreveport community. It was blazing hot, but we had fun spreading the love of Christ to others through - SNOW CONES - of all things! :) I love more than anything I have married such a Godly man that supports me in all that I want to do to help others!


These are just some random pictures of us. We spent 4th of July in Dallas with my parents, celebrating Fathers Day with my dad and just getting to spend time enjoying family on our 3 day weekend. We also went to see Toy Story 3 with some friends of ours - if you know me, you know that I LOVE Disney! Since as far back as I can remember I have collected Disney movies and of course, I hope to share them with our kids one day! Toy Story 3 was so cute. It was a great triple couple date night! :)




Other than the craziness that I have already spoke of, we have just been doing the usual - work, school, church, etc. :) We stay busy and love every minute of it. God is good and is blessing us more than we deserve. When you seek Him first - He not only gives you the desires of your heart, but also funds the way for His plan to be fulfilled!

June was an exciting month. We stayed super busy, but had so much fun!
On June 12, 2010 my little sister was married to the man of her dreams. They had a unique wedding in Southern Indiana. It was everything Aly had dreamed of and more. They were married in the oldest United Methodist Church still holding services today in Indiana. It is a one room church building; with no AC and wood framed windows included. The best part about the wedding location was that our only living grandparents were able to attend. That made the trip and wedding perfect. I took several pictures but here are some of the highlights. :) Enjoy!
