Home Sweet Home

Ok so our house still smells like bbq sauce and our living room floor has a hole the size of the Grand Canyon, but being home has never been so sweet! I am so thankful that we don’t have to spend the holidays in a lake house or our camper, but at the same time I’m ashamed. I have been so caught up in all the negative aspects of my Christmas break - that I have ignored the reality that there are people out there who live this way 365 days a year. In an earlier post I wrote that God was awesome no matter how/where I spent the holidays and every time I was negative- SOMEONE was quick to remind me of that. To be honest I was kind of irritated because that SOMEONE just didn’t understand. I know now that I was the one that didn’t understand. I was so blind to the blessings I had in front of me that I chose to ignore them and ended up focusing exclusively on myself. So what if our house smells like bbq sauce and the Grand Canyon size-hole will still be there tomorrow? We have a home and I am so thankful! God IS awesome no matter how/where I spend the holidays!!
Ok so I’m going to be late for work if I don’t cut this blog off now, but I just wanted to apologize for being such a negative person this week. Thank you for reminding me!

These two pictures are of the Grand Canyon...See...it's not that bad!

Lake House for the Holidays ??

My family is having to stay in a lake house for a couple of weeks until our house is finished with the rebuilding from the fire. We're all pretty upset about it but what can ya do? I asked Carey what I should write on my blog and this is what she came up with....

YO YO YO!

So there ya have it..Possibly the worst blog EVER written.

Just a few things before I go

1- Megan- Happy Now? Get back to work! haha
2-Joseph- More
3- God is Awesome no matter how/where I spend the holidays

Family Reunion

~Highlights from my day~

1. I'm at the beach!
2. My family is incredible
3. Having a "slum" with my niece
4. I played B-I-N-G-O with all the old folks downstairs and won....twice
5. Devin prays by herself now (so precious!!!)
6. A completely sober woman fell into the hot tub right in front of me and my daddy. We laughed for like 20 minutes. IT WAS AMAZING.

I LOVE FAMILY REUNIONS

oh yeah! haha the picture...that is Devin sleeping on the floor because she refused to sleep in the bed. She started out in her own bed, then moved to my lap, and then landed on the floor and has been there ever since. Don't worry! I'm going to move her before i go to sleep.
