June is over.........

I have to admit I am relieved that June is over. We had a fun, tiring, and rewarding month. We went on a mission trip to Bryson City, North Carolina. About 28 of us from church. It was wonderful, but hot and tiring. I had the opportunity to head the trip which was fantastic. Although, there were times that I felt stressed because I am a "people pleaser" and if anyone was dissatisfied about something regarding the trip, I felt responsible. I know, I know I need to get over that. After the trip, we were home one week and had Kid's Adventure, our version of Vacation Bible School. I had the privilege of directing that also. Everyone worked so hard and we had around 100 children each evening. Wow! It was so good. The volunteers were amazing and never complained about being tired or stretched. So needless to say, last week I was so tired. This past weekend we didn't do much! I slept late, took naps, and spent time with Todd. Todd and I hadn't had much time together so it was great spending time together.

All that being said.....July is here.....and I am preparing for my sister, brother-in-law, and three children moving in with us for awhile and beginning school. Wow! I hope I make it! :)

A Beach House....

Here is a picture of my hubby at the beach in Edisto. Edisto is a beach in South Carolina near Charleston. We have gone there camping twice. It is beautiful. I am telling you, camping on the beach is the way to go. When we sleep at night in our tent, we can hear the waves from the ocean. It is so relaxing. My dream is to own a beach house. I would love to live in a house right on the beach with weathered white furniture, celery colored walls, and sliding glass doors on the entire back of the house. I want to sit on a deck reading a book feeling the cool air on my face. It sounds like a movie, doesn't it? Maybe when we retire and our children are grown, we can buy a beach house. I would love it.

Tired...

I am tired today! We are leaving for a mission trip on Saturday. There seems like there is so much to do to get ready. I have lists everywhere so I can be sure that I get everything done. I have a list at work, one at home, and I even made one for Todd. Now..I love making lists and checking them off, but when there is so much to do, it can be stressful. I sat here at work today thinking about everything I had to do. The key word here is thinking, I thought about what I have to do, but didn't do it. I am not helping myself any. All of that aside, I am getting excited about the trip. On Friday, I am meeting my sister, Jennifer, and her family to pick up my niece, Julianna. She is coming on the trip with us. I am so looking forwarded to seeing all of them. Jennifer, Kevin, the kiddos and my parents are all moving here to South Carolina this summer. Wow! I just can't believe it. It will be a changed for all of us. I have been living away from them for 10 years. It will be good to have family around. Well, I am off....to do something on one of those lists of mine....
