Update

Sorry for the delay but we have been really busy since we returned from Florida. It seems like this summer has passed us by. We had a really good time in Orlando. We enjoyed going to Judah. I got lots of rest and hung out at the pool while Josh was busy going to worship sessions. We did take a break on Thursday and go to Disneyworld. What were we thinking?? Going to Disneyworld in July. CRAZY. It was so hot but we had a lot of fun. The fireworks are the best. All in all it was a great experience. We got back last Saturday and then left again on Friday to Colorado. The weather there was much nicer. We went with Pastor Israel and Rachel. We had a great time. We got to see lots while we there. Sorry no pictures due to having to fly. Josh didn't want to take the camera. We went to Colorado Springs on Saturday. Sunday was filled with church, eating, and napping. We had an amazing service on Sunday night. God moved and touched many people . We got home Monday night. I love to travel but am glad to be home and back in the routine of things.

Here are the pictures from Florida

Beach Trip

Priceless face!! I went to the beach for a few days with my dad and his side of the family. It was so nice to get away and have some quality time with everyone. Here are a few pictures...not all...there are so many I could not post them.

Who is this little girl??

Settled in

Josh and Macy hanging out on the floor together. We are finally settled into our new home. All of the boxes have been unpacked and taken to the dump. It feels soooooooooo good to have a clean house. I will post more pictures of the house once our living room furniture comes in. I am PATIENTLY waiting for it. Hopefully, it will be in very soon. We are enjoying our new house and thank God everyday for it. God is so good.

Moving Day has arrived

Each room is full of many boxes.

Macy has been no idea what is going on. She has been really sad lately b/c her house has been a mess.

For the past week Josh and I have been busy packing up our house. We are so excited about moving into our new house. We have been so busy that we really haven't comprehended exactly what is going on. We are moving out this weekend and into our new house. Therefore, we will not be able to go to Greensboro with everyone else. The good thing is we get to celebrate with Josh's mom. Josh's birthday is tomorrow and his dad's birthday is Saturday. So lots to be celebrated this weekend.

Our New House!!!

Josh and I went under contract for our new house in Wilson. After many hours of praying and searching last night we walked into our destiny. This was the last house on our agenda to see and was worth waiting for. We put our offer in today and they accepted today. Just for your information this was the third offer Josh and I have put on a house. We are pros at filling out the paper work. But God knew way before we did the perfect house for us. Looking back we can see how God ordered our footsteps. It is amazing. We are moving to Wilson as of May 19th. We are so excited about what God has in store for us in Wilson.

Beach Trip

Last weekend Josh and I went to Atlantic Beach. We needed to get away before moving. We enjoyed going to the beach and eating. The weather was really nice.

Macy's new friend!

Just hanging out!

Happy Easter!

Easter was a busy day!! Our church started having two services. Yeah!! Then we ate an early supper with mom. Afterwards, we headed to Wilson for a cookout. BUSY! BUSY! Anna is on the left and Kara is on the right.

They love the camera!

They are adorable!!

Sorry it has been a while!!

Josh and I have been on the go since we returned from Colorado. Last weekend we cleaned up the yard and Josh fixed the vent for our bathroom. Josh is so handy! We had some friends over Saturday night. This weekend Josh went to Washington DC with the youth. I was supposed to go but came down with the stomach virus Thursday night. I am doing much better today. Josh will be home later on today. I can't wait for his return!!! Macy and I are lonely.

About the house. Things are still on go. We are deciding between two houses on the outskirts of Wilson. We have plenty of time. God is good!!

Denver, Colorado

Pastor Rachel, Josh, and myself ventured out to Denver this weekend. We were invited by Pastor Bagwell from Word of Life Ministries to fill-in for their worship leader. What a great honor and experience it was. We had a great time and were treated like royalty. Josh played and Pastor Rachel led worship. It was awesome. God really moved in both services. We enjoyed shopping, eating, and exploring the town. We had a great visit with Ben Fernandez. It was so good to see him. It started snowing on Sunday night. By the time we left there were several inches on the ground. Therefore, we had a long wait at the airport. It was fun though. I really enjoyed getting used to the climate and altitude there. Which was very different than North Carolina!!! We are glad to be home. It was a great trip. This is just the beginning of many trips!! Going over the songlist for Sunday morning and Sunday night service.

God is so AWESOME!!!

God is so good. Yesterday our house offically went under contract!! The buyers will be closing on our house mid May....so Josh and I are starting to look for housing....We are so excited!!! I can not even begin to tell you the awesomeness of God. How things worked out is so amazing!! Josh and I expected God to do great things and he went way above our expectations!!! More details to come...I have to go workout.

Hanging around the house

This weekend Josh and I hung out around the house. Friday night we ate dinner with my mom. It was nice to see everyone. I also got to see my dad. I have felt like I haven't seen either in a while. Josh and I have been busy. Anna and Kara are getting so big. On Saturday, we cleaned and showed the house to two families. Then we had a time of worship and bible study with Relevant the college ministry Josh and I help lead. Tomorrow, we have a photography trade show in Durham after church...busy. I am going to miss my Sunday afternoon nap!!!!

Baby sitting

On Saturday, we babysat the Blackburn children while Jeff and Tonya enjoyed a night out with their church. We had a great time. Shannon came over to help. They ate pizza, ice cream, chicken and rice, and animal crackers. Wow those kids like to eat!! We watched Lady and the Trap II. We had a good time playing and singing.

Eating ice cream....mmmmmmmm

Ashlyn, Shannon, and Ethan posing for a picture. Ashlyn and Ethan enjoyed hanging out on our new king size bed we purchased on Friday. We are getting ready for our new house.

Dedicated to Macy

On Saturday, we took Macy to the groomers for a much needed hair cut. She looks so cute. She actually looks like she has lost 10 pounds...it is amazing what a hair cut will do. I played with the camera some. Macy enjoyed posing for me.
