Hello to all!!
So yesterday Travis and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary! It was so awesome! In this day and age where more and more people don't stay together for more than a few years, being able to say I have been married for 7 years is great! We have had so much fun these past 7 years together, have some great memories, two beautiful girls and are looking forward to many, many more wonderful years together!!!
May you have a truly blessed day!

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend!!!
So to this past weekend we had our Women of Destiny Retreat....and it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Our theme was: Shine-4-Jesus: Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend.
We had great words delivered, not only by all the pastor's wives, but by so many of the ladies attending the retreat too. It was so awesome to see God doing so much in everyone's lives. Basically the whole idea of the weekend was to learn to let your light shine and how we are all beautiful diamonds and God is doing new things in us everyday and bringing out more and more diamonds in our lives. Therefore, diamonds really are a girl's best friend!! We talked about how to let our lights shine in everything we do and how God is our master jewler and he is creating us to be the diamond he has called us to be. Sometimes the cutting process is not fun, but the result in the end is worth it all. It was so awesome to have so many ladies really just open up their hearts and share about what God is doing in their lives. We had lots of fun, laughter, food and great intimate times in worship with the Father. It was so awesome to get away with such amazing ladies for a weekend!
On Saturday night we had a Princess PJ party and an Italian dinner banquet. We all had pink crowns with our names and jewels on them that we wore for our banquet and for our group pictures. It was so fun to be able to be silly and cut loose and have such a fun time! We ended our weekend by going outside on the patio in total darkness, opening our cellphones (each of us was emitting light in the darkness) and singing "This little light of mine." It may have been a song that you usually only sing with little kids, but it summed up the weekend perfectly and really was powerful! All in all, we had such an amazing, awesome and wonderful time....words can never describe it all! Thanks to everyone who came and shared their hearts, to all the ladies who helped pour so much time and effort into pulling this retreat off (I couldn't have done it your help)...hopefully I wasn't too bossy for ya :).....and to our lovely hostess and her husband for opening their home to almost 30 ladies for the weekend!!
Here's a goofy picture of all of us who were still there late saturday night.......we are soooo CRAZY, but having sooo much FUN!!!!
