Let's Face It...Quickly!

1 Samuel 17:48 "As Goliath moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him."

This is the kind of strength and power that we can have when facing life's trials if we are abiding in God. David quickly ran to face Goliath!! Are we cowering in fear? Are we turning back? No! Be strong, and do not fear, for the Lord your God will be with you always! He will fight for you and give you victory. Let's face it...quickly!

Just Chillin'

Jonni picked me up from work yesterday and took me out on the lake. I kept thinking I saw aligators...but it was just old rotten wood floating in the water! haa haa! I know, I'm a dork! Oh how I would love some property on the lake. Jonni and I always joke about getting an RV or a camper and parking that on some water front property because it would be cheap, and we could just build a porch around it, etc...you get the picture. But then we laughed it off, because that would be really redneck, you know? But apparently not!! Yesterday we saw at least a hundred places just like that on the river! Ha! My old yankee husband is fitting right in down here, aint he?!?! ;OP



Here's a picture from the boat of the plant where I work.



And ofcourse, Sunshine has to be right at our feet. She is so sweet!

Hawks Beat the Celtics!

Last Monday night we went to Atlanta to see the Celtics play the Hawks. We got really cheap tickets and decided at the last minute to go. It was me, Kayla, Jonni, Tim, and Samistheman. We found out on the drive down there that Tim is a "paper pooper!!" No skids! Haa Haa! Sorry Tim, I had to share. I got to ride the Marta for the first time, which was fun. It was a great game, and surprise surprise, Hawks won! Apparently they won lastnight too! Talk about an upset! I was cheering for the Celtics, but Jonni was going for the Hawks because he always goes for the underdog. I brought my binoculars, and I saw Dominique Wilkins (haa haa...I originally put "Hawkins"...doofus), and I was so excited! I had his basketball card when I was little. It's funny how the players just seem like a bunch of normal guys playin some ball when you watch the game live at the stadium. Without all the special effects, they don't seem like such superheros. And they get paid millions of dollars to play basketball...amazing. When it was all said and done, we got into bed at 2 a.m. and had to get up for work the next morning...but it was well worth it!

The Old Rusty Anchry

We went back to SC to visit my dad a couple of weekends ago, and had an absolute blast. We went to the museum, ate sushi (not at the museum), and looked at motor cycles and motor homes. We just hung out and caught up on everything that has been going on. It was a really great weekend. Dad's wife Kathy came, and I can't remember the last time I saw her, which made me super excited to see her! She is so wonderful, and a wonderful wife to my dad (you old rusty anchry you...inside joke dad!) Late in the evening we got to laughing so hard that Jonni missed his turn, Kathy got into a coughing fit, and dad caught and awful case of the hiccups!! It was sooo funny! So we stopped at IHOP, and I'm sure they thought we were all drunk, but we were perfectly sober. Thanks dad and Kathy for coming to visit...it was a wonderful weekend!! Can't wait to go on our camping trip...they better get ready for this rowdy crowd!! Until then...xoxoxoxoxo
