Day 8: A pace you've traveled to

I am not a well traveled girl, but in 2008 I got the chance to go to London with my friend Sandy. We also went to Paris for a few days which is when I got the picture of the rainbow under the Eiffel. Hoping to travel abroad a bit more with Thomas someday, but not until our kids are much older!

Day 6: A picture of something that makes you happy

This is a picture from when I got to visit France in 2008 and see the Eiffel Tower. If you look closely under the tower, you will see there was actually a rainbow! I felt like God was telling me that it doesn't matter where on this earth I travel to, He is still God and He is always near. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." - Matthew 28:20

Day 4: My Parents

This cute little blonde is my mom. She taught elementary school in Sparta for over twenty years. A couple of years ago she retired and has become a full time Nana to her three grand daughters. She is always willing to help us when we need a babysitter, or help us in any other way she can. She is very generous and has a wonderful heart. I think she has a little feisty streak too. If you ask me one would have to in order to spend their whole life working around small children. Now that I'm a mom, I of course have a whole new respect for my mom. It is the hardest job in the world and she did a wonderful job raising my sister and I (a lot of the time time as a single mom). I love you mom!

My dad is a free spirit and a rolling stone. He is incredibly talented musically and sings folk music. He has a very big heart and a hilarious sense of humor. He also looks like Mario from Nintendo brothers a little. Although him and my mom have been split since I was little, he was still able to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. When we are able to spend time with him we really appreciate his unique and genuine heart. I can honestly say there is absolutely no one in the world like my dad!
