Camp Awanita~A Christian Youth Camp, Marietta SC

My sweet Cousin and her husband work at Camp Awanita and invited us over for a picnic this past saturday. We had sooo much fun! The camp was closed and we had it all to our selves! I can only imagine how much youth groups love this place! First of all, It's beautiful! In the Mountains with spectacular views. Humers take you up the mountain on a gravel road, that pretty much feels like a roller coaster! Paddle boats, fishin, turtle catchin, prayin, eatin, mudpit, the lake. It was amazing! I will load pictures later!

Red Letter Marriage

Preacher Steve has been preaching a sermon titled "Red Letter Marriage".
Here are some things I've learned, and a bit of things I think are important in a marriage:

1) Your family should be in this order
God
Spouse
Kids
So, basically, I think most people get this order all messed up, including myself!

2) Having a child will not improve your marriage. In fact, it adds more stress. Is it worth it? YES! Does it take a lot of work? YES

3) Date nights are a Good Thing!

I always struggle with guilt when I drop Troy off for a night at his grandmas. No more of that! It's very important to spend quality time with your spouse, and it makes me a well rested mother so I can take better care of him!

4) Coming from a divorced home, I vow, and always have, to never divorce! Unless Brucke beats me and my child or has an affair, he's stuck with me. The End.

5) Marriage is a job! Love one another, respect each other, and put God in charge of everything. God never said it would be easy, but it is His will for us all to have a great marriage, and that takes work!

Holly Wild

Holly Wild was awesome today! Troy loved all the animals and especially the safari bus ride! His favorite was the Peacock! He started running after that huge thing and I about had a cow. The most random thing happened, while looking in the water at the fish my batteries just fell out of the camera and in the water! How does that happen? so, no pictures of the safari ride, and it was the best part :( Troy is the best son ever, I absolutely love this age! He tells me thank you and please and now we are working on saying his prayers. He can be a handful and a bit whiny but he is so fun and worth every minute of it!

ENT

Little man has got to get his tonsils and adnoids taking out! Surgery will most likely be this winter, mainly because I need to save up some money first!

First Golf experience

We went and played golf today, with Troy! Initially, we thought it would be a disaster. We had to wait 30 min for a cart. During those 30 min, Troy managed to step on the owner's cat, yell "ball" at the top of his lungs and say "hey" to some of the more serious golfers. He was being way too loud! But, when we got the cart and played our nine holes, He was some what of a angel! He loved riding the golf cart and helping us arrange our tee's. We had such a good time, and it was a beautiful day to be golfing! Family days are the best. Now Troy and his daddy are napping, but maybe later we will head to Toadily Fun to treat the lil guy for his good behavior!

YAY

Troy pee-peed in the potty today!

Happy Birthday Troy!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby boy! We had a awesome birthday party yesterday at Barrett's Place, It was so HOT! His favorate presents: Spongebob Croc's, and a John Deere tractor!
