A whirlwind of a month

It has been quite the past few weeks! 


  • son turned 30 = multiple parties
  • work began on Crossroads' Easter services
  • daughter engaged to an amazing, Godly man
  • visit to meet her future family-in-law 
  • fun with grand-babies
  • prayer with our unbelievable Crossroads staff
  • visited church-in-the-mall in Florida (I missed Crossroads)
  • decided after arriving in Florida to take a last minute cruise

What these things caused is much praise and worship of my precious Lord!  I am a wife and mom overwhelmed with thankfulness for the faithfulness of God through celebrations as well as difficult times, a time of refreshment as I visited another church on vacation and the most restful time away I have EVER had when we decided to take a last minute cruise!  So thankful!

Just a few shots from this whirlwind past few weeks!

I believe this was taken in the tropics - during Mansfield's snow storm!

Our balcony room surprise upgrade!


I've had a lot more time lately to think and to pray, and it's been a good, reflective time of rest.

I am forever thankful and rest in Him for whatever comes next!

islands are for friends and family

Today we went to the beautiful island of Put-in-Bay with our friends!

We were in capable hands with Mark and Ken bringing us back to dock!

Ken giving Mark the ok sign - my mom loved the day!

These 2 are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.
So proud of my daughter and daughter-in-law

In most situations these two would be questionable (ornery) -
but they were so gracious to us today!


The precious one!

Poor baby was so captive in this vest!

My dad, my son and my hubby - fishing off another boat !


Aunt Joci allowing Oliver to steer the boat
the town of Put-in-Bay filled with family
To have the kind of friends - two boat loads that would take a day off work, take a day away from their own families and come to take us out fishing and site seeing...well, there are no words to describe how blessed we all feel today!

The Lord blesses our lives with a few handfuls of special friends and today we spent the day with Chris, Ken, Mark and Clayton.  Thankful beyond words!
