Virginia

The last 2 weeks have been a wonderful whirlwind and I am still trying to figure out which bed is mine!!! It started out with 7 days in Virginia Beach. A wonderful trip to celebrate the Sovereign Grace church's 20th anniversary. Since we were part of the original church plant team (I was 26 and the mother of 4 kids ages 4 and under, what WERE we thinking??) we decided to go back and see what God has done. It was truly amazing!! The faithfulness of God shone through and there were many times that I was reduced to tears as I recounted how the Lord has blessed us and cared for us. We got to see so may people that we had lost touch with and to hear about their lives. I was so aware of how many gifts the Lord has blessed us with. One of the greatest gifts He has given me is my friends. I have the best friends in the world, actually scatter all over the world, but this weekend I got to connect with some of them. It was fun to laugh and remember and make fun of one another and pray together and cry together and work together and share a burden and lift a burden and talk about life and the future and what we are looking forward to and what we are glad is over. It was a memory that I will treasure. Here are some of the pictures of our girl time......
Guess Who just woke up?

After out time in Virginia Beach, Fred and I headed to Alexandria for my niece's wedding. The wedding was beautiful and seeing all my siblings was great! We had so much fun laughing together. It is amazing how much alike my sisters and myself are when we haven't lived by each other in decades. We enjoyed Ole Town Alexandria. We shopped and ate and ate and ate. When it was all said and done, we were gone 10 days! What a great time we had. My sisters and me!
