Happy One Year Anniversary!

May 26th marks 1 year Josh and I have been at the Sanctuary of Wilmington! Today they honored us with a reception. We are so thankful for where God has sent us!! We have grown and changed so much since moving to Wilmington. God has done a lot in us and through us! We are grateful for wonderful Pastors and a great church family!!

I get emotional thinking about every thing God brought us through last year!! Every part of our life was tested and stretched but God showed himself to us more than ever! I am thankful for every test and stretching experience we have gone through. It is during those times we grow to go to another level. God is faithful!!

Clark visit

Last weekend The Clark's came in for lunch to celebrate Josh's birthday, his dad's birthday, and Mother's day. Josh took them to see the new church and I went to do someone's makeup for the prom. We had a busy but fun day!

Our new friend

Josh was walking Macy the other day and noticed a new resident in our neighborhood. We named him Simon. He was a baby...I say was because he is no longer with us. Simon kept eating the cats in our neighborhood and some were not to happy. We liked watching him from a distance!

Happy Birthday to Josh

Happy Birthday to Josh!! We celebrated his birthday with a nice dinner and a great movie!! We watched "Taken." He didn't want a birthday cake. he wanted a doughnut cake with all his favorite doughnuts. For his birthday he got a new high tech laptop.

Now if I can get him to get me a new phone!!! I am having the worst issues with my phone. I keep losing calls, voicemails, and texts or it freezes up and deletes my contacts. The worst thing is that I don't have any contacts stored in my brain memory. ISSUES!! We keep going rounds with customer service but it ends up messing up every time.

Quick Visit

I went home for a extremely short visit two weeks ago. I went to have dinner with mom and grandma for Mother's Day. I also got my hair cut and colored.

Heath and his pimped out golf cart. The battery died halfway around the block. Jessica and I pushed it back to their house. Got my work out in that day!

They are getting so big

Leah is the cutest little one!

Mom and grandma watching all the action from the porch.

Happy Mother's Day!

Life at the beach

We live a few minutes away from the beach and take advantage of it as much as possible. Especially when the weather is nice. I went yesterday for a few hours. God was so good to us when he moved us to Wilmington!! I love love love the summer months.

We went to the north end and let Macy run. She is a great running partner. She always stays close by.

We are still trying to get her in the water. She will not go close to it.

New Church Building

I know every post I say how busy we are ...... I have come to the conclusion that our life is busy! We love it and wouldn't know what to do if we weren't!! As of Thursday we are officially moving our church location!! We have grown so much that we have ran out of room. Josh came across a property listing in Wilmington and he and Pastor Daniel went and looked at it . Instantly they knew it was the place for us. The location and layout are perfect. Over the next few months we will be working to transform the warehouse into a church. We are really excited! My new Kids Church is going to be 4,000 square feet! I am working on the design of it now. I promise to keep you updated! After church we took the congregation to see the new building. I didn't take pictures until the end. I was talking and failed to do my job!

Hallelujah we got this awesome building!

I know it is hard to tell but the building is huge! It will not be long and it will be filled up!

Josh finishing up the last of the paperwork! I have the best husband! He is so gifted in so many areas! God has truly blessed me!
