15th Anniversary

Tim and I celebrated our 15th anniversary with a get away to Petite Jean State Park. We stayed in a cozy cabin with a beautiful view and had a great time hiking, eating out, and having long periods of time to talk. I am so thankful for a husband who loves the Lord and is truly my best friend. Sometimes the busyness of life seems to overshadow the joy of just sharing life together. The kids had a great time with Michael and Naomi, a young couple that was so kind to watch them for us. The girls surprised us with a gift card for a favorite restaurant when we arrived home. When we asked where they had gotten the money to purchase this, Rebekah replied "well there was the garage sale, the lemonade stand, and then came the poop." Tim had been paying them a small amount to clean up the mess that Lila makes in the back yard. We wondered why they were so eager to help. They are precious girls and their sacrifice of their own money makes this gift incredibly special to me.
