My Beautiful Dancer

We are so proud of our little dancer. She worked so hard all year learning three dances to perform in her recital. It was a lot harder to concentrate this time because of the multiple dances but she did AWESOME!

Who couldn't love this smile?
She was mad because her ballet shoes were hurting her feet.
Thank you Meg for saving us and loaning us Lainey's shoes.

Team Malawi!

So, I know that it has been a long time since I posted something but I have been very overwhelmed. That is why I am now stopping to breath and asking for prayer.

As most of you know, Brandon and I are leaving for our mission trip to Malawi in about 15 days. God is so good and he has continued to bless us every step of the way! As we get closer and closer to July 11th I am getting more and more nervous and working daily to overcome my anxiousness and focus on this amazing gift and opportunity that God has given us.

This morning I was running (in the crazy heat), listening to my ipod and praying when Steven Curtis Chapman's song Dive In came on and I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort. The next 15 days may be crazy but SINK OR SWIM.... I'M DIVING IN!!!!!

Lake Trip

Our sweet friends, John and Melissa Fanning, invited us out to the lake this past weekend. We had a blast chillin, boating and swimming. What a blessing it was to spend a weekend with our family, great friends and a beautiful setting. What more could we ask for!
