You Are For Me

Kari Jobe- "You Are For Me"

Have a Blessed Day!

POPO 5-0

So, have you ever had one of those days where you woke up thinking "Its going to be a GREAT day" and it turns out NOT being a great day? And maybe it has been quite the opposite? Yeah, I had one of those days last week on Tuesday.

I got pulled over in the parking lot where I work! I wanted to DIE! But, then I was okay with it. Thank goodness that we for one live in a small town and my husband is a social butterfly and makes friends with EVERYONE in town! I got let off by a warning. THANK YOU JESUS! For those of you who dont know, I live in Texas on the coast in a town called Rockport. My husband and I work together, his parents have a buisness and it has become family owned and operated.

I woke up that morning got dressed , and got in my car. I called my mom and talked to my mom for a few mins and I felt GREAT! I got off the phone with my mom and cranked the music up and began praising GOD. I was minding my own business. I turn into the parking lot and look in the rear view mirror and I see those red and blue lights everyone HATES seeing! I pulled into my spot and as the officer gets out here comes my husband at the same time! I thought to myself OHHHH NOOO!!!!! Sam, gave me the "look" and the officer turned and said "Hey Sam!". Sam went back inside and the officer said "the reason I pulled you over was because you were going 42 in a 30." My response was "I am so sorry, I didn't even see you and I wasn't paying attention." The officer said "Yeah, I know you didn't even look at me." HA! So emabarrassing! I kept telling him I am so sorry. He went to his truck and came back and gave me a WARNING! I was so thankful!

My wonderful husband took a picture from his phone!

How was everyones weekend?

Summer Has Come to An End

What a crazy life it has been this summer from summer youth camp, 4th of july here on the beach, and Alaska.

Sam and I just got back from Alaska and had a wonderful time. We went with my mom and dad. They were so sweet to invite us. We were there for two weeks. Did alittle site seeing and fishing. It was awesome. God is so good. We got a cabin and spent a few days up in Talkeetna on the river and just hung out, went shopping , and bbqed. Then we headed back down on the coast and went fishing for 3 days! We caught Halibut and salmon. It was very exciting!

Sam and I in Anchorage doing a little shopping.

This is the cabin we stayed in for a few days.

Me waiting for our 8 hour bus ride. YEAH, I know what you are thinking. We did see lots of animals.
This caribou walked right up to our bus! It was crazy!

Beautiful view

This was an amazing trip and I loved every moment of it. The lord sure did provide for us on this trip too. God is so faithful.

I know I have been really slacking on my blogging. My life has been very busy and I was so exhausted at the same time. But, the good news is I am back.

This week was pretty good. It was a little rough at the begining but, got lots better. I have to work this weekend and I am not real excited about it. Its only for a bit though. My house needs alot of help. I have lots of laundry and cleaning to do.

So, what has everyone been up to this summer?
