Eastern Caribbean Cruise 2008

Stan and I returned last night from an incredible 7 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. We visited some of the most beautiful ports: Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. While on our cruise we ate, read (yes, even Stan!), shopped, slept late, laid out in the sun, and made some new friends!

MS Camp '08

1 amazing speaker (Freddy T) + 1 incredible youth minister (my hubby) + 250 middle school students + 20 awesome leaders = Unbelievable MS Camp

This week at Horn's Creek was absolutely incredible! Many students and leaders made decisions to surrender all to the Lord! Lots of students made the decision to rededicate their lives to Christ. And, some students made decisions to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior for the very first time! The most amazing thing to see is this group of Middle School students worship their God! It is like nothing that you have ever seen before.  The students arrived at Horn's Creek on Monday and expected God to show up...and boy did He show up!!! Please be in prayer for the students as they have all now returned to their everyday lives to remember what they learned at camp and the decisions they made.

Here are a few fun pictures from the week!

The entire group!

Stan Is Home!!!

Praise the Lord...Stan returned late on Saturday night from his 11 day mission trip to Thailand! I must say I was one happy wife on Saturday...I missed my hubby! 

I am constantly amazed by how Stan allows God to use him to reach students here and far away. Please be in prayer for him as he recovers from major jet lag and also finishes preparations for one of the biggest weeks of our year...CAMP! We leave on Monday and are sooooo excited! This year we are taking 250 students and are anxiously awaiting to see God work in the lives of our students during camp!

I love this cute picture from the trip!

The Cupcakery

Today I developed a new love...The Cupcakery!!! This is a new place in Knoxville that has the most amazing cupcakes EVER! They have classic cupcake flavors daily and then weekly feature cupcake flavors. Mama and I basically swallowed our cupcakes whole...they were so amazing! If you get the opportunity this place is a must visit!

Congratulations, Chad and Jennifer!

This morning some of our best friends welcomed a sweet baby boy into the world! We are so excited that Ty Kenyon has finally arrived! We love y'all!

I just wanted to brag on Lacy and how proud I am of her! She has worked her butt off these past 9 months and has become quiet the "Hott Mama!!!" Lace, I am so proud of you working so hard and meeting your goals. I am also so proud of you for sticking to it and running the marathon!

Spring Break

Thanks to my amazing husband (my Valentine's gift was a plane ticket to Jacksonville) I got to spend my Spring Break in Jacksonville!!! I had an amazing week with Lacy, Jeremy, and Kiley...we shopped, ate, hung out, went to the beach, got pedicures (thanks, Jeremy!), celebrated, and played with Kiley! While in Jacksonville I also got to spend some quality time with Dad, Joy, Darla, Rick, Mackenzie, and Dawson! I had an amazing week!!! Thank you all for everything!!! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week...

How this girl loves to shop!

This was some of my favorite times with Kiley...just snuggling!

I love the expression on Kiley's face!
