Independence Day

We had a great day celebrating with family in TN this year. Bailey and Jesse got to spend the whole week with grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Jack still a little too little stayed home with mom and dad. The fireworks show to end the day was the best! Thankful for our freedom!

First/Last Day of School Year 2013-14

I need to blog about these two days because this was Jesse's first day of Kindergarten and last day! He was so excited to go to school with his big sister. He wasn't scared at all. He loved school and so glad to have Ms. Hunter again. And it is hard to believe how much he grew this year! 

10 Years

Last year was our 10th anniversary! I know and I'm just now blogging about it! We decided to do something fun and different. We flew to Seattle spent a few days and then rented a car and drove down the coast to Los Angeles. It was beautiful! A little chilly which I was not expecting in July (yes our anniversary is in November but we celebrated early to have good weather). We loved stopping in little towns and seeing the country. It was just gorgeous on the coast. 10 days was not nearly enough time but we had to fit it in. We also got to see some good friends from our time in Istanbul and that was really nice to catch up and see them in a different setting. Anyway, hard to believe it has been ten years. Blessed and thankful to be on the journey together!
