Well, what an eventful weekend it was! On Friday, Jason, the kids and myself drove down to meet my parents at the old Texas Roadhouse in Grand Prairie. It was alot of fun to see some old friends and my sister Leslie, whom I never get to see. The kids like it there, Jordan loves the bacon (go figure) and Sophia makes a meal of honey cinnamon butter with bread. That's right, not bread with butter. After that, we drove down to Joe Pool Lake with Mom and Dad to feed the fish, which was a lot of fun! The next morning, we got up and Sophia really wanted to play with sidewalk chalk and wanted Jason to make her paper airplanes, which we did. She had a blast out there, with a piece of paper and a dollar store box of chalk. To continue on our day of "free fun" we went to the DFW Airport to Obversation Station, where we could watch the planes take off and land. When I read the ad for it, it sounded ALOT cooler than it really was, but Mom and Dad met us out that way, so it was nice to spend time with everyone outside, rather than in front of the TV! After that, we drove to Grapevine Mills and went back to school shopping (huge sales, bought some bare necessities). If you'd have asked me if I would be back to school shopping a year ago, I would have told you that you were crazy! While we were there, the kids decided to do some activities, climbing the rock wall and bouncing on the trampoline! We couldn't quite convince Jordan to try the trampoline, but Sophia did and LOVED it! That's our little daredevil! But that's how we spent our weekend...I included some pictures so you could see!
I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl
