Engagement Party for Matt and Britt

While Matt was home, some of Britt's friends from Greenwood threw Britt and Matt an engagement shower. It was so much fun! I think Matt and Brittany had a great time and it was so fun for the families and friends to all get together to celebrate them. So many people were there just to shower these two love-birds. We had such a great time.

Here are the two mothers...Ms. Flowe and Ms. Cindy...don't they look so pretty?!

So...at the party I was talking with Brittany's sweet Nana. Here is a picture of Britt and Nana:

While I was talking with her, I found out she is a major blog-follower. She reads our family blog...which is so sweet. So here is a shout-out to sweet Nana!!

Also, spent some time with my other blog-friend, Kathryn and her hubby Caleb. They were freshly back from a trip to Hawaii....awesome, huh? Anyway, I love these two and we have so much fun hanging out with them. So, of course, we took the opportunity for a photo-op...

Here are some more Reese family pics from the shower:

Me and my sweet hubby:

Of course, Ryan cannot take too many serious pictures...

It was a great party and we are so honored to be a party of Brittany and Matts' wedding. We love you guys!!!

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
