Yay for 3 day weekends! So love them. This one is special to me for two reasons: it's day to remember those who have fought and died for our freedom and I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I had the chance to see one of my grandfathers tonight. He was a pilot in World War Two and his plan was shot down and he was a prisoner of war in Germany for a year. When I think of everything he went through just so we can be free...wow, it brings tears to my eyes. It kills me to think about what he went through..and what my grandmother went through during that year of worry.

I have decided to make this blog more about pictures than posts. Now that it is summer I am going to get back to photography and hope to take some pictures of families. I will post things when I feel the need to really pour out my heart and when I find something I think might interest you. I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial weekend and got to spend it the way YOU wanted. Whether it was with your family and friends or taking time just to unwind by yourself. We all need that sometimes. Tonight I will leave you with a few pictures from this weekend and a few other things. Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!

My girls have a new hobby. Fishing! They LOVE it. We have a small pond a few steps from the house and this is where they are spending a ton of their time. My dad came out and fished with them today.



One thing I love about my pastor is that he isn't afraid to touch on issues that are going on around us everyday that some pastor's might not touch. He is in his early forties and has ten kids. Yes, 10! Boy how lucky are those kids to have such awesome parents. Danny and Kim have been a blessing to our church and have touched so many lives. A year or so ago Pastor Danny opened up his message with this clip. Take a look:

Powerful, no? His name is Jefferson Bethke and you can find more inspiring videos by him at: http://jeffbethke.com/ I have to say when I listen to him I think about my daughters. I so want them to meet a nice man someday that will respect them and treat them how they should be treated but most importantly, that they lead through faith. As they are getting closer and closer to becoming teenagers it is getting more real and more scary! For example, Natalie has 4 boys texting her asking her to be their girlfriend. FOUR! So proud that she continues to say no, I don't want a boyfriend but would love to be your friend. This video is for my girls. Goodnight!
