Trust

I got this quote through my email today and LOVED it!


I know God will not give me anything that I can't handle.I just wish He didn't trust me so much.

Good News!!!

My husaband called me with some wonderful news yesterday!

He is heading to a new project that is closer!!! Which is awesome! To make things even better he is being moved to a location that we both LOVE! The project will be in Texas City...but we have found a RV park in Kemah that we will be staying at! Mike and I LOVE Kemah.....and that is where he proposed to me! =) So we are both really excited about this new project. Plus...Mike is near the water so he can fish as much as he wants now. Actually I think he is more excited about being close to water than he is about being closer to me...haha!

Anyways....Kemah is only about an hour from my work...so most likely I will be driving back and forth everyday. It's been a year since we actually lived together full time....wish us luck! haha

Here are some random pictures to enjoy.....

Israel's Birthday party

On July 13th Israel (Mike's brother) turned 30. Now if any of you reading know Israel you would know that he has an issue with getting older. So Danielle wanted to make his 30th birthday extra special...and she did.

On Saturday she threw him a surprise birthday party on a party boat. For those of you who don't know what a party boat is....it is basically a private two story boat that takes your private party around the lake. And for those of you that have been to Cancun...it's basically like the "Booze Cruise". So Danielle rented this party boat and everyone had a wonderful time. The boat actually anchored and for those who wanted to swim they could. Anyways....we had a great time celebrating Israel's birthday.....and it was nice to be around all the family having a good time!

Here are some pictures from the party for yall to enjoy!

I took a whole week off from work last week and it was a well needed break. Of course...it went by way to fast and we were busy the whole time so as always I don't feel well rested! lol Oh well...it was nice spending that many days with Mike!

Anyways....I just thought I would share some pictures with everyone. The first weekend I was there my friend Amber, your son, and her mom and little brother and sister came to see us for the day. It was so nice of them to come hang out. We took them out to eat and then went back to the RV and visited. While they were there we got to take lots of pictures. Chase is soooooo adorable. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! Here are some pictures from our visit!

Last week our nieces Ashlyn, Katelynn, and Brooklynne got to come stay with us for 3 nights! We really had a good time with them. They loved the RV, they loved Harley, and they loved hanging out with us. While they were here we took them to a little carnival that was in town and Lake Waxahachie to swim. Needless to say they wore us out! Mike just LOVES spoiling those girls. Here are some pictures to share of their visit with us!
