What Time is it?????

Its................. BIBLE TIME!!!!

Since Sunday at our church, The Grove, we have been participating in our first BIBLE TIME. Our Theme is "Camp Bible Time". This year marks the 20th anniversary of Bible Time at the Grove. And what an amazing experience!!I have never seen so many adults in a church (almost 400) come together to do their part to make BIBLE TIME an amazing experience for every young person who comes on our church campus.


My job this week has been to oversee photography for the PreK area (birth-5yrs). It has been so amazing to see how even the youngest kids on campus are being taught about Jesus and are having so much fun! Both of my kids fall into P-K area and they are really loving it!


Chris is working on "the hill" with the High schoolers, and it has been awesome!

I have already heard some stories of kids giving their hearts to Jesus, and how God is moving among the middle and high schoolers! What a amazing thing to be a part of!!


Tonight is our last night of classes, tommorow night is "family night" where we will have a cookout and fireworks to end this great week long event.



Here are a few pictures of my family/kids from this week. Look for more to come later this week!

Personal best!

This past weekend was the 8th Annual Commerce Star light Road race. Chris and I ran it, along with Chris's sister Lisa-

It was a great morning for a race, not too hot, and my favorite part of this particular course was, it was litterally a mile from my house, and it was FLAT! After our last 2 really hilly races, this was a nice break!

Chris and I achieved a personal best on this race- 38:24! We have been working hard to increase our speed (okay, I have... chris could run much faster than me, but he always stays beside me during the race!... thanks sweetie!), and it has finally paid off!

It was a great race!!

After the race, we returned home, cleaned up and headed back to downtown commerce for the festival activities. It was such a fun morning!! The kids loved all the activities and it was alot of fun to share as a family.

Later that evening we had invited family and friends over for a cookout and to watch the fireworks which you can see from right across the street from our house. It was a wonderful afternoon!!

here are some wonderful pictures from our wonderful Saturday!!

In just 5 days chris and I will do what we set out to do as part of our new years resolution- run (/walk) the peachtree road race! We are so excited!!!

Summer is here!

Its June-... and the middle of June at that! I can't believe how quickly the year seems to be going by!!

We returned from vacation a few weeks ago, but as you know we are always busy here so I didn't get a chance to post any pictures or updates.. so here goes!

We went to Myrtle Beach, SC for the first time in quite a while (first time ever for the kids!). It was alot of fun. The kids did well on the ride up, one of the longest so far.

The beach was a bit 'cooler' than we'd like but we still made the most of it and had fun. The last 2 days were the best weather wise and we really enjoyed the sun!

Kaylee LOVED riding in the waves on her boggie board, and Michael loved just RUNNING :) HA HA

We played putt putt one day as a family- that was loads of fun,

visited a local boardwalk and enjoyed all the sights there....

and finally our last night there we took Aunt Lisa out for her birthday to the Medieval times- It was a great week!

And here is our new Family Beach Picture!

Chris and I are currently in the final preperations for our big Peachtree road race coming in 2 weeks. We actually have a 5k on the 26th of June here in Commerce and then the 10k (peachtree) the weekend of July 4th. We are very excited, and a little proud of ourselves for sticking to our plan and making this life change. We have both really fallen in love with running and enjoy doing it. Its made us healthier, stronger and a little more disciplined.
