Can't Believe it is July!!

It has been forever since I have blogged!! Alot has gone on since then..

This summer has been busy! Julian played baseball and Aaron coached him. They finished in 3rd place. And Julian is playing in the all star game on Monday. This was Carlee's first year playing T Ball. She had alot of fun. She isn't real sure if she wants to play again next year or not. And for Gavin, we are just trying to potty train. He is tough!

In the beginning of June, Aaron and I went to FL with Jeremy and Aubrey (no kids) for 9 days. It was so nice. I was worried about how I would do without the kids, but I did pretty good. :) It was so nice just waking up when we wanted and coming and going when we pleased not having to pack up cups and snacks and strollers and so on. And Jeremy and Aubrey were so fun to be with. We get along so well. The 18 hour drive was terrible though. So long and Aubrey and I got car sick. Thank God for Dramamine!
While we were there we were on the beach everyday. I got a pretty nice tan, which has since then gone. And I got sun poisoning and Aaron got really burned. It felt so good to relax on the beach.
We also went kayaking. That was fun. I stepped way out of the box with that one. Especially since I don't know how to swim and I am afraid of the water for the most part. We saw dolphins and sting rays and alot of cool shells. It was a great experience. Although I am not sure if I would do it again. :)
But I would definitely love to go to FL again on a trip with no kids... it was good for Aaron and my relationship. We didn't argue once.. it was great!

And I finished the 10 week Beth Moore Bible study I was doing with some women from our church. It was wonderful! She taught us 5 important statements.. here they are:
1. God is who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things thru Christ.
5. God's word is alive and active in me.
The study was on Believing God. I reccommend it to you all.

As for me.. I am doing ok. I still struggle some days with things. But I am trying to work thru them with God by my side. God has been so good to me and my family. If it weren't for Him and my good friends I am not sure what I would do. God has brought some really special people into my life. I think he knows that I don't have alot of really close family, so he brought me great Godly friends. When I am struggling and having a bad night, I can call on friends and a few family members to help me and I am so thankful for that. God is so Good!
I am still praying for Aaron's salvation, please help me pray about this. I long for the day that he will be the spiritual leader of our family. He has been really tired and working so much. I just wish something would happen with his job that he wouldn't have to work 2-3 jobs.

Anyways.. that is all for now. Please continue to pray for us.
