Life Happens :-)

Well here we are and it's mid July!  So much has been going on since the kids got out of school for the summer.  We have had some crazy weather, including Derecho an inland hurricane last week.  It took out so many trees and power for a week in most of our area.  I happened to have company that weekend from MI and what a weekend it was! Thank god for good friends and a generator I was able to run a fan since it was in the 100's and keep my food in the fridge cold.  The kids happened to be with their dad that weekend and came home to me saying lets go to the beach! Yep, this mama packed up and headed for VA Beach for the week since we had no power at home! Normally we would have been heading to MI for the 4th of July, but since we were just up in April to see my Grandma for the last time I decided to stay close to home.  And what a great time we had, staying at the Wyndham Resort right on the beach.  Our room overlooked the ocean and we spent most of our days playing in the sand and walking the pier at night.  I believe the kids are just like their mama and water calms them.  We had such a great time, but honestly after 3 days we were ready to come home.  This mama was in need of a vacation from her vacation! :-)

This week the kids start Vacation Bible School and we are all excited for this!  This is the first year they all can be there together :-) Jackson has attended in the past and just LOVED it so I'm excited to see how Max and Lola enjoy it!  They are all growing up so fast.  This Fall Jackson will be in 2nd grade, Max will be in a 5 day preschool program and Lola will go 3 days.  As for me. please keep me in your prayers.  I have enrolled in School Full time starting in August and I have also had an opportunity to apply for a position at a Local College to work as an Admin. assistant.  I'm struggling with whether I should just return to work Fulltime or School.  Lots to think about and I'm just praying I make the right decision for our family.  In other good news, my Wedding Photography has really picked up and I have scheduled 3 wedding just this week! WooHoo!!! :-) I love shooting weddings and I am blessed beyond belief to be able to do what I love as a side job!

In a few weeks the kids and I are heading back to the beach before school begins.  This time we are going to Myrtle Beach and Katie is coming with us!!  We are all so excited!  We are staying in a great Condo that has a waterpark on site for the kids and a short walk to the beach.  Pure Heaven for a week.....:-)

Please continue to pray for the kids and I.  Lots of changes are still ahead of us and I'm just hoping they are all good!!! :-)

Love to all of you :-)
