Shout out to Donna

Donna, if you're reading this, thanks for a fun time on Sunday. It was good to see you and enjoy lunch with you! Love you, my friend!

Long time no blog...

Been a while since I posted so I thought I should so everyone would know we're doing okay! :) Callie is walking more and more everyday by herself, but she still hasn't just let go yet! We aren't pushing her. I know she'll be running around everywhere before I know it, so I'm not rushing her.

We're trying to enjoy our last few weeks of summer while we can. I sure do dread not being with Callie and being away from her all day! :( It wouldn't be so bad if I just had someone to keep her instead of her being at a daycare all day. Anyway....

Our youth revival is coming up soon, so if you're reading this, please come! It will be on 7/24-7/26. We'll have three great preachers coming with youth choirs singing! We will have supper at 6:00-6:45. Prayer room at 6:45 and the service starts at 7:00. Bro. Chris Anderson, Bro. Jody Garrison, and Bro. Scotty Baker will be preaching during the revival. It's bound to be great! I know God is going to do something good there. Last year was an amazing time, and our youth seem to have grown in spiritual matters since then as well. Anyway, come on out to Mud Creek and have a good time with us! On Sat. 7/26 my wonderful brother-in-law will be hosting two sessions in the afternoon with some teaching. Session 1 is about defending the King James Bible and Session 2 is about defending our own belief and why other religions have incorrect teachings. I'm sure it will be great!

I guess I better go now. Callie bug has made several of her plundering messes that I need to clean up. :)

Later!

Where to eat?

Okay, if you read my blog TODAY or TOMORROW then you can help with this, but I have a question to ask: Where can Andy and I go eat for our anniversary on Thursday? I have a few ideas that include The Cheesecake Factory, Bahama Breeze, or maybe something like Longhorn, but I'm wondering if y'all know of a place that would be closer to home and no further than say Buford. I'm not crazy about driving to Atlanta to eat, especially with gas so high. Andy isn't really crazy about seafood places either.

Give me your ideas!!!!

Picture Day

Today we had Callie's pictures taken for her first birthday. They turned out pretty well! I will put a few on my page just to tease some of you! :)

Oh Victory in Orange Juice (and Jesus too!)

For those of you who don't know, it's been VERY VERY VERY hard for Callie to work up the desire to drink milk (plain whole milk) out of a cup. I've tried everything but a tap dance to get her to drink it, but I have found victory in mixing whole milk with some orange juice. I know you're thinking, "ew....", but I guess the juice just disguises that milk taste she doesn't care for. She'll drink it out of a bottle mixed with a little formula, but not from a cup without some tricks. For the past two days she's been drinking it pretty well. Just had to share my victory with you. It's been a pleasant surprise. With the Lord's help, maybe we can finally wave "bye bye" to the bottles before school starts back - which by the way is right around the corner! :)

Hola

Thanks to all who read my blog. I know I have at least one person who reads it - thanks Katie! :) I guess I'm in a bit of a blog slump. Anyway, Happy 4th everyone! :)

Summer is going by too fast...

Sigh.... I dread it, but it's coming up too soon for my likings - School. I love my job, don't get me wrong, but I really like staying home too. I just dread all of the stuff I don't like about my job I guess! I don't look forward to putting Callie into day care all day. I feel like a terrible mother for doing so, and some people make me feel terrible for doing it too. There are reasons why I have to go back to work, but anyway, different topic! :)

We had two people get saved on Sunday night at our church. One of the young boys at our church announced his calling to preach a couple of months ago, and he preached that night. It was a good service.

Well, I need to go and take a bath. I went and walked this morning and I worked up a small sweat.

Pray for Callie. She's been super moody with her teething all week. She didn't have a good night last night either. I wish those teeth would hurry up and come in and give her a break!
