Independence Day Parade!

Amy and I went with a friend to the 4th of July parade in a near by town last week.  

I love horses and enjoyed seeing a few in the parade!

Caleb and Ana's Wedding!!

(These two pictures were taken by Photography by Nikole.)

Our family!

This past Saturday was my sister's wedding!  What a joyful day, full of friends and family rejoicing in what the Lord has done in Caleb and Ana's lives to bring them together!!  We were blessed with so many friends who offered to help, good weather, a really fun wedding party, and a beautiful service lead by Pastor Steve. 

When I saw the flower girl and her youngest brother watching as the photographer took pictures of Ana and Caleb, I ran to get my camera! They are so cute!

The bridesmaids bouquets!

A dear friend that stayed with us over the weekend, and Ana.

My Refuge

"O God, listen to my cry!

 Hear my prayer!

From the ends of the earth,  I cry to you for help  when my heart is overwhelmed.

Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me."

- Psalm 61:1-3

Friends!

 A fun gathering of friends for a bridal shower and a hairdo practicing session for the wedding.  So thankful for these ladies!

Beautiful Gardens!

We girls went with a friend to the local gardens last weekend.  There were quite a few flowers in bloom!

I love how the water droplets look like beads!

There was a free concert going on when we were there.  A man on fiddle and lady on cello playing Scottish music!  We could hear the music as we walked around the gardens.  Later I sat and listened for a while - it was beautiful!

Such a beautiful place!

Delight my Soul

"In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul." 

- Psalm 94:19

At the Lake!

 Amy and I so enjoyed spending a day at the lake with Grandma, Aunt Shelly and Aunt Marlene.  It was such a beautiful day!
