A Cweepy Visit



My sweet friend and roomie from college, Sally, came to visit a couple of weekends ago. Since I am so far behind on blogging, I am just getting to putting the pictures up.

Sal and I began calling each other "cweeps" during our time living together our senior year of college in Grannies. This was mainly because I would wake up in the morning and Sally would be going through my drawers trying to steal something to wear, or I would go upstairs and she would be sitting in the closet...just creepy things that would make me gasp. We then had a fun activity where we liked to change the letter "r" in words to the letter "w" because of a book Sally read to her first graders. Hence the word "cweep". It has really stuck too and now that is what we mainly call one another.

It was so sweet of Sal to drive to see Becca and myself. She lives in Atlanta but drove to Charleston to see us. I took a pic of her in the driver's seat for your viewing pleasure...



We hung out and ate on Thursday when Sally got here. Friday, we went to the beach and then over to Becca's for dinner. Addie and Craig were there for the party too! The best part of the night were molten lava cakes that we made. Here are some pictures of the night's activities:











Don't you just love this jowling picture? So attractive...

The next day, we all went to 3 little birds and then to the beach. After the beach, we decided it would be fun to have a little girl's night in - you know, eating pizza and watching movies. It was the best!


Well, of course our ole dog Scout threw a little wrench in the plans by getting a stomach virus. Poor thing never catches a break. Here is the little guy sulking in the kitchen...


It was so sad to tell Sal "goodbye", but we had a wonderful reunion weekend like old times. It was so much fun. Thanks for visiting us in Charleston, cweep! We love you!


And, last but not least, I thought you would love to see a pic of the cweep in action. This is the classic "cweep" picture that we still enjoy posing for today. A tribute to cweeps everywhere....

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
