Family Vacation

BJ and I just got back from family vacation with his family in Pigeon Forge and had a blast! From Dollywood, to the Dixie Stampede, to our amazing house in the mountains, we all had a great time! We enjoyed the family time, and of course watching the girls soak up all the entertainment and fun!

The house was amazing! A bedroom and bathroom for each couple, a view that was breathtaking, and plenty of space for us to gather for cards, eating, or just chatting!
Dollywood was HOT to say the least, and very very crowded!!! But hey, we didn't let that stop us! The girls rode until they were rode out, and even BJ and Mr. Barry rode a few roller-coasters with us!
I think the Dixie Stampede was the highlight of everyone's trip, including the girls! Horses and girls in flowy sparkly dresses (princesses)....Mag and Mil didn't miss a thing! And everyone knows the food is unbelievable!

We all hate to see a vacation come to an end, but we were all ready to be back home too! I'm getting ready for another week of vacation next week with a ball tournament with BJ in Arkansas, then headed to the beach with my parents for a few days!!

Here are a few pictures from the trip!

The girls with Uncle B before dinner, our view from the house, eating ice cream, Maggie snoozing, and the girls and I watching the "the bad woman" from 101 Dalmatians!

A Little Bit Stronger

Hello friends! It literally has been forever since I have posted. Some may know my circumstances, some may not, a detailed post will be coming, but for now, the few moments I have, I just wanted all to know we are doing very well, and my God is still good. We may not always understand the reason for the things we go through in this life, but God does. Our life's path is already set out before us, some good, some bad, all have a specific purpose designed by God! I am so thankful that my faith in God was shown and ONLY by that faith am I able to pick up the pieces of my life and continue in His perfect will for my life. Thank you to those who prayed, visited, called, sent flowers...etc. It meant so much to have your support through it all.

With love and thanks,
