Beachin It

We were able to get away with Will & Merissa for a few days in June. It was so nice and relaxing...a much needed vacation for all of us! From great weather to good conversation from eating way too much to playing Settlers way too long...it was a great trip! So thankful for good times and good friends. And if you have never played The Settlers of Catan you need to check it out. It's definitely a little overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it it's great. It's now my choice for game night =)

3 movies in 5 days...

Yes, you read that right. I just got back from going to the movies for the 3rd time in less than a week. For those of you that know me well don't fall out of your chair. I know it's not my style...I guess this turning 28 thing has turned over a new leaf and my movie loving husband is liking it...alot =) Seriously, though, I probably go to the movies 2 or 3 times a year...maybe. It's not ever been something I have loved to do---I guess I would rather chat =)....BUT maybe it's the "new thing" of my late 20's...I guess we'll see.

Anyway, we have seen... ...by far my favorite...LOVED it and surprisingly LK liked it, too....

...good story line but a few too many gunshots and blood for me...

and last but not least...

...WOW is about all that comes to mind--it is funny, though--I have to give it that...

And yes, these are in rank order. Didn't mean to do that but it just worked out that way! Not really sure what we will see next. That $16 may need to go towards something else for a few weeks ;)

Drinking from my saucer...

I received this devotion a few weeks ago and it has stuck with me ever since. I thought it was too good not to share. I know sometimes I tend to focus on "the not so goods" of life when in reality I have more good than I know what to do with and have so much to be thankful for. There's no doubt that I am drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed...

I've never made a fortune and it's probably too late now,
But I don't worry about that much 'cause I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's way I'm reaping better than I sow,

I'm drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches and sometimes the going's tough,
But I've got loving ones around me and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings and the mercies He's bestowed,

I'm drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh, remember times when things went wrong my faith wore somewhat
thin, but all at once the dark clouds broke and sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I've hoed,

I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage when the way grows steep and
rough, I'll not ask for other blessings 'cause I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy to help others bear their loads,

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

Reunion

A few weeks ago I had my 10 year class reunion. It was a great weekend. So good seeing everybody and catching up! On Friday night everybody that could met up at Julep around 9 and then on Saturday afternoon we had an Ice Cream Social at JA. We all headed to the Jackson Yacht Club that night. I can't believe it's already come and gone...I would do the weekend over in a heartbeat! Here's to another great 10 years...

Michelle and me at Julep

Little surprise appearance by Elvis...he was at grad

If you danced with "The King" then you got a scarf =)
