I wanted to start off the teen years with a good note and something that we would remember. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So when Harper was nearing turning 13 in January - we talked about this. She wanted to go to the mountains or Colorado and she mentioned "what about Utah?" Scott and I have never been to Utah and had wanted to visit so this seemed like a great idea for January. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We decided to visit Park City. I love researching and planning trips so I tried to make it one that she would enjoy. We have never skied and we are hoping to do that as a family in the next year so I found things to do besides skiing and there is a lot! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqfjFE2Jf6pRP-pikRY0dEndNdL2nVz1Ly6Wx203IM7ckMmjc-a0-g9YpAnNNq4xiz1FgsyXe_AL4gG88b51P8FZLBDan7lZTM0aUGe4R83oil0UJxnwOemQOJ1IxzElkGmtm6laUbiN1SAMq8A0tGUBBuPBO0waKtwE_c94cScJPRlSelu1s=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqfjFE2Jf6pRP-pikRY0dEndNdL2nVz1Ly6Wx203IM7ckMmjc-a0-g9YpAnNNq4xiz1FgsyXe_AL4gG88b51P8FZLBDan7lZTM0aUGe4R83oil0UJxnwOemQOJ1IxzElkGmtm6laUbiN1SAMq8A0tGUBBuPBO0waKtwE_c94cScJPRlSelu1s=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We flew in SLC on Friday morning. It was a quick direct flight. Park City is a 30 min drive so we decided to explore Salt Lake a little before going on. I found this cute French bakery for lunch.

So On our third day we broke things up by going to the water park Volcano Bay. I did not take ONE picture. But we had a great time. It was a nice relaxing break from the crazy of the other parks. It's a very nice water park. The wave pool is huge and has a sandy beach. There are a zillion chairs everywhere. We worried about not getting chairs but that was crazy because there a ton and we never actually sat. The men and the girls did a lot of the slides. I hung with Will Holden a lot in the kid splash park area. I love that because he played forever and I sat in a chair. They have two lazy rivers that are fun - one is normal and one has waves. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhU9f2VjXnslt5q-2rXReo8n5UlacOIR6XZquW_nMDaQuJ1bcTtFAQgvcdi7O-wUqE7DVCViBfkIVYb0e4kgw3lSeboA0YhWx7TlbSmZ_ieeqfbUqB6F4pm9CLtUhiC_ncWi54XiBbos3Yxj_Ar7DcykUT74oPR47zjZbUe_mOmRVsAEKssNWM=s2000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhU9f2VjXnslt5q-2rXReo8n5UlacOIR6XZquW_nMDaQuJ1bcTtFAQgvcdi7O-wUqE7DVCViBfkIVYb0e4kgw3lSeboA0YhWx7TlbSmZ_ieeqfbUqB6F4pm9CLtUhiC_ncWi54XiBbos3Yxj_Ar7DcykUT74oPR47zjZbUe_mOmRVsAEKssNWM=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Every night we ate on the City Walk.

We ended up making reservations for tables of 4 and 5 at the same time for each place. But every single night they gave us a table for 9 so it worked great! But I HIGHLY recommend making reservations.

So we planned a 8 day trip for this Fall break. But then I got a job and didn't have many vacation days to take and also we are not anti mask but I have NO DESIRE to wear a mask indoors or on rides when it's 100 degrees outside and especially paying all that money to be miserable. I know people are doing it but we just didn't want to. So since masks were optional at Universal AND we had wanted to try Universal at some point - we decided this was the year to do it. Plus we made a quick 4 day trip. So we saved time and money. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So about a month ago we made a trip to Universal and I thought I would give a recap!

We got an Uber to take us to our hotel. That was super easy and only about $30 for an Uber XL. The Ormons reserved some kind of shuttle bus that not only was like 3 times the price but also they had to wait around for nearly an hour at the airport and got to the hotel so much later than us. Take the Uber! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We stayed at Dockside hotel. The premiere hotels offer free express passes and it makes it worth it. But when we were booking - they were all booked. So Dockside was much cheaper but we paid fo the express passes. Dockside is new and we really liked it.

We had early admission to Universal but the only thing we didn't have express passes for was the Hagrid's ride so it made more sense to rope drop IOA and get on that first. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgr_GxTCBlmOmYwKCrrF-b8sTnkrXwA5t8zH--Qb9phKEae7--0b5cBXFB9NBHJ-Ns505w99fHmUw2LTmWda0f9c1fynWBcpUfhCx6XgwwC9alh-CXMHuxsmbBODy_GMlIusQ63fYxyNi8Ct9BqtUKlJCwdERLN68GawVgXfbajRwxAC3lhblM=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgr_GxTCBlmOmYwKCrrF-b8sTnkrXwA5t8zH--Qb9phKEae7--0b5cBXFB9NBHJ-Ns505w99fHmUw2LTmWda0f9c1fynWBcpUfhCx6XgwwC9alh-CXMHuxsmbBODy_GMlIusQ63fYxyNi8Ct9BqtUKlJCwdERLN68GawVgXfbajRwxAC3lhblM=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Laurie does not do rides that have any kind of drop.

I know it's been WEEKS!!! I'm not ready to completely shut it down yet. I love having the memories to look back on. I thought I would share a little of what we have been up to in October. This is the first part. We went to Universal for Fall break so I will do a separate post all about that maybe this week if I get time! All our sports ended last week so that frees up some time for me at night. Just in time for basketball to start soon! ha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First of all - I'm LOVING my job. Absolutely love it. I honestly wasn't sure I would like being back at work but God blessed me with such a great position with great people and just perfect circumstances. Honestly - I couldn't have dreamed up a better job for me. I have loved being back in the business world and I'm slowly finding my way. Balance has been tricky but I think that's just life. And it's working out. I just have to find ways to make it work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The kids are all doing great! Me working hasn't fazed them too much. I'm still around when they need me. They are all doing really well in school. (Well WH talks too much and isn't interested in school but NO ONE is surprised by that). The girls both have great grades. They are just easy good kids and I count myself SO lucky. They have really good friends from school and they all have made amazing friends at church. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are OBSESSED with our new church home. It's been the best thing that has ever happened to us. This is another thing that has been completely God ordained and I can't thank Him enough. Our kids are just flourishing. I see them taking pages of notes during sermons and texting their friends about what they are learning about God. Harper is going on a mission trip on spring break and I'm so happy to see her growing in her spiritual walk. And Scott and I have grown so much as well. I'm just grateful for the revival that has taken place in our home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgj354YpQTroQ00eJ-yu0c0Hcr57GXaphh0MnnJxZdi0HcwdqogBj7JC9iqGG-VA4l1SV5sU1gbDGRFHL90MZUcBlLx14DJ5GwoErEW3drJyGxYHuC0hAn8iIbgxZ_-5-uab9BekBs0rfzuoQnz6vjc9O7Xt6WKEbHjLW-Z8ARo07aNHynTGak=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgj354YpQTroQ00eJ-yu0c0Hcr57GXaphh0MnnJxZdi0HcwdqogBj7JC9iqGG-VA4l1SV5sU1gbDGRFHL90MZUcBlLx14DJ5GwoErEW3drJyGxYHuC0hAn8iIbgxZ_-5-uab9BekBs0rfzuoQnz6vjc9O7Xt6WKEbHjLW-Z8ARo07aNHynTGak=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have had busy weekends with kid activities but sometimes we find time to just hang with friends and that's the best of times. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLHF16TpJ3gezBx5lbFbDMQIVjcFuUcjijxroDe42dU2EkZDkrhowgYHrLjLqHpUQUZ6Xdq9ggfDKoFw67jpHQOHdYuSFjcWri9ziDAsDuBRo8qOmAP98khTYa-oNH43CVzFrsbF-NdlN1dAWjjrVGBdAVT0VJnhigmAjOHLvCtAz4p_W-lZg=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLHF16TpJ3gezBx5lbFbDMQIVjcFuUcjijxroDe42dU2EkZDkrhowgYHrLjLqHpUQUZ6Xdq9ggfDKoFw67jpHQOHdYuSFjcWri9ziDAsDuBRo8qOmAP98khTYa-oNH43CVzFrsbF-NdlN1dAWjjrVGBdAVT0VJnhigmAjOHLvCtAz4p_W-lZg=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hollis and her sweet group of friends went to a party one weekend.

It would be easy just to give up or let friendships slide but true friendship makes it work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Kelly</div>Kelly’s Kornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05912946906871580823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153632.post-62771219015915514072021-09-29T21:29:00.000-05:002021-09-29T21:29:04.557-05:00Where I've been<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well it's been over a month since I did a blog post. Which I guess is the longest I have gone in 16 years. I had a few people email me to ask if I was okay. So I thought I would do a little life update! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vsxd41uedgU/YVUZBno_SPI/AAAAAAAA0fE/Rzgl5R1PaJEQ_PcVzUMhbWkxXHq5eldgACPcBGAsYHg/s3254/IMG_9559.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3254" data-original-width="2249" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vsxd41uedgU/YVUZBno_SPI/AAAAAAAA0fE/Rzgl5R1PaJEQ_PcVzUMhbWkxXHq5eldgACPcBGAsYHg/w442-h640/IMG_9559.JPG" width="442" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The reason I haven't been blogging is I went back to work full time a month ago. I didn't plan to drop blogging but I just don't have enough hours in the day. I started work and kids started sports and there is only one night a week that we are home and that's a catch up night. But I plan to try and update from time to time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Work is great! I went back to what I did before I had kids. It's been 13 years, so I have a bit of a learning curve and I'm trying to re-learn and catch up but the people I work with are awesome and I'm loving being back in an office environment. It's not been TOO bad so far getting used to working all the time and juggling everything else. I've just had to let some things slide. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xumw4aNRAYc/YVUZNYox5GI/AAAAAAAA0fI/rjdQB0mjdjIZ5nkISoAhlekYGR37oSJTgCPcBGAsYHg/s3756/IMG_9542.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2820" data-original-width="3756" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xumw4aNRAYc/YVUZNYox5GI/AAAAAAAA0fI/rjdQB0mjdjIZ5nkISoAhlekYGR37oSJTgCPcBGAsYHg/w640-h480/IMG_9542.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think the biggest thing that has had to slide for me is time with friends. I haven't even seen Laurie for more than about 10 minutes in the last 5 weeks which is so weird. We barely even find time to talk. But we are going on vacation together in two weeks and I can't wait! I'm making new friends at church and that's been a blessing. But I don't have time for coffee dates or walks anymore with friends. But I hope I can figure that out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t5UheCpGnKA/YVUZ7u7mHbI/AAAAAAAA0fQ/ZichqsWHWrsp69SpPSA7o1d157GMGkH_wCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_9836.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t5UheCpGnKA/YVUZ7u7mHbI/AAAAAAAA0fQ/ZichqsWHWrsp69SpPSA7o1d157GMGkH_wCPcBGAsYHg/w480-h640/IMG_9836.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The kids are doing great with new school years and new schools.

Yesterday was one of my favorite days - the days everyone in elementary finds out their teachers. Why is that such a fun day? It's all the texting and facebook messages of "who did you get?" and figuring out who is in your class. We now know who almost all our teachers are and we are ready for the year. We have a few open houses later this week. This year possibly holds more uncertainty than it did last year but we are going to pray and keep on going as normally as we can. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wRzXp_KmavI/YRJ22ZzmWWI/AAAAAAAAu78/p37L5MAse044MW0HkLmxvXNUPPsY34uvwCPcBGAsYHg/s3796/IMG_8024.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3796" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wRzXp_KmavI/YRJ22ZzmWWI/AAAAAAAAu78/p37L5MAse044MW0HkLmxvXNUPPsY34uvwCPcBGAsYHg/w510-h640/IMG_8024.JPG" width="510" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Harper and her friends talked me in a slumber party Friday night. These three have been friends really since kindergarten but best friends since the 4th grade. They are at different junior highs and different classes and different sports this year but I'm hoping they stay so close because they will meet back up in the same high school in 2 years. They were so happy to all be together. They are always on FaceTime together but in person is SO much better.

I loved it. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrKyZTsXrog/YRJ22SKsMUI/AAAAAAAAu78/IO8UT2wz-V05tIwNBbLTM79aIjMqMb-DwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_8040.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrKyZTsXrog/YRJ22SKsMUI/AAAAAAAAu78/IO8UT2wz-V05tIwNBbLTM79aIjMqMb-DwCPcBGAsYHg/w300-h400/IMG_8040.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">IT was fun seeing so many Arkansas ties! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Leo_fLE1Zs8/YRJ22RXD-hI/AAAAAAAAu78/Qfas0Jde074J9KS_hN1rkWuhBhZlYJ9eQCPcBGAsYHg/s2000/90AFF006-7CAD-4B19-A154-0A00F2B354D6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Leo_fLE1Zs8/YRJ22RXD-hI/AAAAAAAAu78/Qfas0Jde074J9KS_hN1rkWuhBhZlYJ9eQCPcBGAsYHg/w360-h640/90AFF006-7CAD-4B19-A154-0A00F2B354D6.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sunday we went tot the church for the first time in a month after our quarantine. I was so happy to be back and it was such a good service. I cried so much my eyes were swollen. And the sermon was on Hell. Not a fire and brimstone sermon - but we are walking through Jesus' parables and this was one on Hell and the seriousness of it. It was so life convicting. I don't want to see anyone that I know ever go to Hell. And I pray if you ever hear anything from me - it's that Jesus is real and He just wants you to trust Him and walk with Him and spend eternity with Him. I wrote the notes above down and I am overwhelmed with how God has brought so much good to us after a very very hard period of time and a long season of praying for Him to help us grow in Him. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6Pl3PcGZEM/YRJ22YGy-kI/AAAAAAAAu78/cWugrr-_sw4xbon4d7pkOH4FTgZRRpKMQCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_8069.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6Pl3PcGZEM/YRJ22YGy-kI/AAAAAAAAu78/cWugrr-_sw4xbon4d7pkOH4FTgZRRpKMQCPcBGAsYHg/w480-h640/IMG_8069.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday we picked up a friend and had a picnic in the park and played. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ncnLe-Cc-Lw/YRJ22ft5utI/AAAAAAAAu78/0CCRbBtVQtQ0O_CvtRCab1I-zdwn7G7NwCPcBGAsYHg/s2000/3DAFA94E-35EE-4177-8A65-F323B8D32A76.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ncnLe-Cc-Lw/YRJ22ft5utI/AAAAAAAAu78/0CCRbBtVQtQ0O_CvtRCab1I-zdwn7G7NwCPcBGAsYHg/w360-h640/3DAFA94E-35EE-4177-8A65-F323B8D32A76.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Harper had them doing filters in the car. ha!

Will Holden spent all day with his friend on Tuesday and Hollis has had two days with one of her friends. Harper's friends have been super busy with sports practices so it's harder to get a friend date in but we have some planned for next week. I took Harper and Will Holden on a walk, food truck lunch and to climb yesterday. It was sweet to me how well these two got along with their age differences. They even slept together last night.

WH didn't want to go. Harper had me buying so much extra stuff that I spent about twice on her than I did on the other two and she barely needed any supplies. Hollis is no nonsense and we just got what we needed and barely spent anything. I love their differences. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other thing I'm working on is teacher gifts. Do you do first of the year gifts? I like to get off a good foot with the teachers. I do something small. I think this year it will by clorox wipes, kleenex and maybe a Sonic or coffee gift card because they all need caffeine coming back after summer. Teachers are my heroes so I try to thank them every chance I get. </div><br /> <p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Kelly</div>Kelly’s Kornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05912946906871580823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153632.post-65343366033914905232021-08-02T08:33:00.001-05:002021-08-02T08:33:11.060-05:00Back to School Prayer <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QhdbVFra2O0/YQfxzPF2yoI/AAAAAAAAueg/xyofeJnmiLg9TNuRKKBoLYlz8lW0gejRwCPcBGAsYHg/s2048/FA4620C7-7BD1-415E-8EE9-C31D510A033D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QhdbVFra2O0/YQfxzPF2yoI/AAAAAAAAueg/xyofeJnmiLg9TNuRKKBoLYlz8lW0gejRwCPcBGAsYHg/w400-h400/FA4620C7-7BD1-415E-8EE9-C31D510A033D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Seven years ago yesterday this little tiny girl in a smocked dress started kindergarten. Today I'm taking her to a Junior High preview and then shopping with one of her friends she will be at school with. They have things all planned out and I'm loving this age but I can't believe it went this fast.

In the past - I have just had one school to do this at. This year I will be prayer walking all three. I may need extra laps around the junior high. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And I am sure most of you have a little bit of anxiety over this school year. Whether it's the uncertainty of what life will look like in a month or three months or whether it's straight up fear - I think we all need to pray over this year. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My pastor said yesterday "God will either answer your prayer, change your prayer or change you". </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So I will be starting our year off with prayer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What does that look like: </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some years - I put in my headphones and listen to worship music and just walk around the school praying.

I'm super thankful because the kids have had super mild cases. Just fever for a couple of days and that's it.

Laurie is joining me. It will be like a night of being in a camp cabin with me and Laurie. We will talk camp songs, camp food, laugh a lot and we want you to join us!! We are doing this with Compassion and by sponsoring a child - you will get a ticket to watch the livestream. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">More importantly - sponsoring a child is one of the best things you can do. We sponsor three and I have been on two trips with Compassion and have seen how your money makes a direct impact on your kid by meeting their physical needs - food, school, supplies, clothes - and because it's all done through local churches - those churches get to share Jesus with the families that they are helping. It's the Gospel in action in a very real way. Pray about sponsoring a kid. The pandemic has MAJORLY impacted these areas in poverty. Food shortages and work shortages are worse than ever. Compassion has been able to be a life saver in the last year and a half and it's because of people like you who give to change a child and a family's life forever. This is a tangible way to be a missionary. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sign up HERE - you won't regret it.

What I CAN say is we prayed and prayed about it and we feel God ordained the whole move for our family. And I have SO much joy and thankfulness over it all. Our whole family has been flourishing and experiencing revival and I'm just extremely grateful. It was VERY difficult to leave and I am not a big believer in changing churches unless there is a very big reason or God moves you. I love the local church. Yes it can be a mess. It's made up of messy humans who are not perfect like God. So there is no perfect church. But finding a community who you can serve God with and who help you grow closer in your walk with God is EVERYTHING. Don't give up if you are in a place of being out of fellowship with church or if you have walked away. We need to have a group of believers to be with and work together to share Jesus with more than ever before. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SYcNaCukb0w/YOWVQSrOEII/AAAAAAAAsh8/iFBJ3tYZMBkOlf6y2VHhNoWdsDCDqsa1gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_6496.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SYcNaCukb0w/YOWVQSrOEII/AAAAAAAAsh8/iFBJ3tYZMBkOlf6y2VHhNoWdsDCDqsa1gCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_6496.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Will Holden made about 3-4 friends that night.

Mostly because this is a HARD age. They are too big for kid clothes but adult clothes don't seem right either. So I will share what works for us. I did a post back in the winter and this one is for summer. My girls are also picky. They ONLY want to wear t-shirts and shorts. I can talk them into a cute shorts romper sometimes. And a dress or romper for church. But I've given up on really cute clothes that I would like them to wear. ha! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0shiwF_0BQg/YMiqXIJ5OTI/AAAAAAAAqpw/Zup9Gymyglo6GmpuGT7urU63rDa29XFaQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1320/20489764.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1320" data-original-width="1320" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0shiwF_0BQg/YMiqXIJ5OTI/AAAAAAAAqpw/Zup9Gymyglo6GmpuGT7urU63rDa29XFaQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20489764.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nike Running shorts are their #1 summer item to wear.

We went back and liked it even more. The food is great but if you have kids - it's a really great place. They have a huge play area with a pirate ship that kids can play in while you wait or f you eat outside - they could play there while you eat. We had to wait an hour here but it wasn't bad because WH and girls hung out the whole time and we sat in chairs. They also had live music outside and it was so good! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://gtsonthebay.com">https://gtsonthebay.com</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-61gGpN7Tz4I/YMIKBmFmBoI/AAAAAAAAqj8/9pf72soANXQ7rXrbQoSImdYzvGmAiA09QCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_5380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-61gGpN7Tz4I/YMIKBmFmBoI/AAAAAAAAqj8/9pf72soANXQ7rXrbQoSImdYzvGmAiA09QCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_5380.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Will Holden made a bunch of friends and didn't want to go in to eat. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CCWmhRKoH_w/YMIKCMVNgLI/AAAAAAAAqkA/emXVjzbSfqgnCmj_NgKgCJW7Wu-qdgIDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_5384.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CCWmhRKoH_w/YMIKCMVNgLI/AAAAAAAAqkA/emXVjzbSfqgnCmj_NgKgCJW7Wu-qdgIDwCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_5384.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4BRXIhj3rgM/YMIKCoe0kGI/AAAAAAAAqkE/x5TrwtaTZDQUJ1TcZNb27ugZ2sRfZvpFACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_5387.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4BRXIhj3rgM/YMIKCoe0kGI/AAAAAAAAqkE/x5TrwtaTZDQUJ1TcZNb27ugZ2sRfZvpFACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_5387.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had shrimp and grits and the grits were in parmesan "cakes".

This is owned by Fishers. Scott and I went to Fishers on a date about 6 years ago and LOVED it. It's a nice restaurant with amazing food but to me it's more of a date place. So we decided to try Playa instead. And it was a huge hit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You need to know that we get to restaurants before 5 if possible to beat crowds.
