Blessings :)

This weekend was not only awesome, but also a reminder of just how GOOD God has been and continues to be, to our family. We are so very, very blessed. I know for sure that I do not tell Him thank you nearly enough, and yet, he still keeps pouring blessings all over us. 

Just wanted to share a few of those blessings from our incredible weekend. 

1. A husband who loves me so much, that he would think to bring home 2 hot dogs from Skins to his wife for lunch. 

Oh, he is my special friend!!!

2. Dinner at Ryan's on Friday night with Jerry and Sandra (Jonathan's parents). Haven't spent quality time with just the two of them in a while. Conversation was refreshing. :) 
3. Staying up until 2:30AM that night watching McCall videos and reminiscing with Jerry. Those videos are great. 

Just a small taste of the awesomeness that is Camp McCall. :) Hilarious. Thanks Whamm!!! 



4. After said stay up, being able to sleep in until 12PM with my husband on a Saturday, with nowhere to have to rush off to. 
5. "Yard sale sittin" with Grandmother Dot and Papa Charles and just talkin' 'bout nuthin'. 
6. Grilling out burgers with Jerry and Sandra that were not just any ole' burgers, but chilly burgers. Oooo weee baby. My favorite. Mmmm, pour on a lil' bit (a LOT) of Texas Pete, and go to town baby!!!! YUMMY!!!

Cutting up fresh potatoes to make fresh fried potato strings. They were SO good!!!

7. Homemade ice cream over at Judy's on the front porch swing. Talkin' 'bout the good ole' days and just enjoying one another's company. 
8. Church at Whitefield. Enough said. If you want to hear the most amazing music EVER, come see us!!! 
9. Lunch in downtown Greenville with Rick and Muchell (my parents), then furniture browsing. Precious memories. 
10. Movies with my mama. Just me and her. :) Need I say more???

Self portrait before going into the theater. Hehe, we couldn't get the camera to work properly!! 

11. Jonathan and Rick golfing. BAHAHA!!! I bet that was fun(ny)!!! 
12. Watching Dennis Swanberg with Rick and Muchell. That guy is HI-larious. 
13. Dinner at Cracker Barrel (SURPRISE! haha) with Rick and Muchell. Again, another quality time with parents and refreshing conversation. It's so cool that we began and ended the w/end the same exact way.......parents, eating, and talking at the restaurant for at least an hour after we finished until they were about to close!! :) 
14. The MONSOON of a storm in Central after we got home. It was AWESOME!! Sat on the screened in balcony and just listened. So cool. 

We managed to get a video of the rain. It's dark and you can't see very well, but you can hear really good!! That's all that matters anyways. :) 


It's kind of blurry, but if you look hard you can see the rain!!!

Rain down. 

God is so full of love and grace. I hope everyone had a wonderful, summer weekend!!
