Hmm....too much to say...

Howdy! Goodness. I don't think I have ever gone this long without blogging. We have been on a mission trip to Albuquerque and then immediately went to Graham for football camp for Wes and Will helped to work it. Now, we have 3 days until Will leaves for college. Truthfully, I have put off showing or feeling any emotion about this fateful event this whole past year. Now, with three days left I feel like my heart is going to break. Don't worry Mom, I am going to be ok, but right now...I have so many words I would like to type and things to say but my brain is scrambled at best and I am struggling to just handle these emotions.

I am so excited for him and all that lies before him, but his departure will leave a large six foot six hole in all of our hearts. I promise to blog about our mission trip and trip to Graham and other things about our summer but for now just know I love you all and I cherish your prayers for us and all the other families that are going through saying goodbye to our children. We do this knowing that things will never be the same, but feeling sure it will be ok with the Lord's help. God loves our children more than I do and that is A LOT!

Talk to you soon. Blessings. Amy

Sweet Amy,
This time is coming our way too.... all too quickly. What precious sons you have. I will pray for JOY and for transition that will shower blessings. We are planning to send Will a graduation something to his school address, so could you send it to us when you can? We are proud to know you. Leslie M

I'm so sad for you. I just can't imagine the day that Cannon will leave home. There are so many exciting times ahead though and so much that he'll be proud to come home and share with you as he continues to grow in to his own person. Much love and prayers.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
