Neuptune Beach, Florida

After a few days of running around crazy~a day at the beach is what we needed. Brandy took us to a little cafe which is famous among the locals. After eating my Cranberry and Almond Chicken Salad, I know why! It was so yummy. We had a great time sitting on the beach and having our picnic. With lots of girl talk and relaxing! I love these girls so much and we found comfort just being together!

Love these Girls

Melissa and Brandon just finished building their new home. Christi finally got a break from school! So one night last hanging out in Melissa's old house. I love these two girls so much and I don't know what I would ever do without their friendship! Thank you both for the good times we've shared and the comfort you give in the hard ones!

Halloween FUN

I'm so thankful we're in the states this year during the holidays! Kynsley has been able to attend the fall carnivals in the area. I also stole the idea from the Kirsch family and let Kynsley decorate a pumpkin using stickers. At dance last week they let all the little dancers dress up in their costumes. Since Kynsley was going to be Belle the night of Halloween, she picked out her Minnie Mouse dress for dance class. Thank you Grandma Penney for the cute Halloween outfit! Happy BOO to You!!

Halloween 2008

I bought this beautiful Belle costume long before I ever thought of Kynsley. But I was hoping that someday I'd have a little girl who would want to wear it. God has blessed me so much ~ I love sharing each day with her. I got her all dressed up and even sprayed gold glitter in her hair. She also asked for mommies lipstick! We were able to go outside and take a few photos before going trick-or-treating with Lyric and Malachi.

Just another day...

Scottie and the 527Th MP CO. are still working very hard. YES, he believes he needs to be there and there is work to be done ~ so STOP asking me! He enlisted for a reason!! And I don't know how I do it, I just do! YES I miss him, but we figured that God found the STRONGEST women in the world and made their match with a United States Soldier. Please STOP comparing your "out of town" trips with our 15 month separation ~ the reason you have your spouse at home is because my husband along with other BRAVE men and women are serving so your spouse doesn't have too! But we never say NO to prayer ~ because that is something we all need everyday! Just be SUPPORTIVE in every way you know how!

Apple Picking

After church last Sunday we drove up to mountain to go apple picking! Papa and granny are friends with the owners of the apple orchard. So we were able to go up to their house. He had already gathered his apples, cut them, and had them out drying. Once we loaded up all the apples for Granny to have for freezing, he asked me where my husband was. After he found out, he started giving me apples too (for free). He was the sweetest old man! He then took us over to see his hogs, he invited us back to get the "meat" this winter.

SCHS 10 yr. Class Reunion

10 years and not even 10 classmates showed up! For the ones who did, we enjoyed many laughs, toast, and time for catching up on each other lives. I had two dates, Melissa & Christi...the 3 of us were celebrating our birthdays which all fall within a week of each other. I love these girls and I'm so thankful that Christi and I both were in the states this year to spend this special weekend together!
