Girlfriends!


Safe Travels

Stan and the rest of the team are getting on a plane tomorrow morning to start their long trek back to Tennessee! They will arrive back in Knoxville a little after 9:00 pm on Saturday night! Their trip has been great! Please be in prayer for safe travels!

Zing Fu!

I saw this fun thing on Katie’s blog and thought I would give it a try. I thought it was only appropriate to put a picture in the slot at Times Square from where we were in New York in August. This is just too fun!!! You can check it out at http://www.zingfu.com/create_menu.php.

Safely in Thailand!

Well…Stan made it safely to Thailand…apparently sleeping during a lot of the trip! Everything is going well. I got to talk to Stan on Saturday during the layover in Bangkok and he was doing well. They completed the last leg of their trip yesterday and made it to their final destination where they will be working for the remainder of the week. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Silly Dogs!

As most of you know…I am an absolute pet lover! I found these cute pictures of “Silly Dogs” on the Today Show website and just had to include the link so that yall can check it out. The pictures are too cute!


Here is a picture of my little Brody! He lives with Mama, Bob, and Stormie now that I’m married and hardly ever home. I still get to see him very often!

Spring Break!

Stan is “leaving on a jet plane” to Thailand on Friday, March 16th with a group of students and leaders for a mission trip. This is the “Senior Trip” that they make during Spring Break each year. As most of you know last year the seniors went to Chile. They are all very excited about the upcoming trip. They will be returning home on Saturday, March 24th. Please be in prayer for the entire team as they are serving.

I’m going to miss Stan…but am looking forward to an exciting week! It is definitely going to be a time of family togetherness…Stacey, Nathan, and Mason are coming in on Saturday for a week! Darla, Mackenzie, and Dawson are coming in on Monday for a week! Lacy and Jeremy are coming in on Tuesday (this will be the last trip to Tennessee for a little while…but I’m sure we’ll be keeping the roads hot between here and Jacksonville)! And, Tara and Connor are coming on Saturday! We’re going to be having a big shower for Lacy on Saturday in Rockwood! I’ll be posting pictures from our fun times!

I must also comment on this amazing weather!!! It is supposed to reach 80 degrees in Knoxville today! Woo-hoo! I’ve already started my trips to the tanning bed! I know that Ashley posted on her blog that “Pale is the New Tan,” but I just can’t do it…I love those tanning beds!

Come Thirsty

Last night at the Edge Stan’s talk was “Come Thirsty” based on John 7:37-38…”If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” Stan talked about if we are thirsty we must go to the only source that can quench, which is our Heavenly Father. We can’t go to humans in our life to quench that thirst. As I examine myself I see that many times I go to Stan for comfort and assurance. I know that I can rely on him for an earthly hug, but I must always turn first to my Father for my constant comfort and assurance. Man will never be able to fully meet any of our needs that only our Heavenly Father can meet and we should never try to fill any of those needs with anyone or anything else.
