First Beach Trip of the Season!!

What a great first beach trip of the season it was!!! The Reeses were kind enough to host us in their newly-owned condo at Litchfield By the Sea. Ryan and I arrived for the week on Tuesday of last week. It was a wonderful week of beautiful weather, good food and sweet time with family. I got really into The Prince of Tides, a book by Pat Conroy, and was thoroughly entertained by that for the week...such a good book!! We went out to eat, worked on puzzles, went shopping, exercised and played Bocce ball. It was a week filled with family at my favorite place in the entire world!

Tuesday night at Lee's Inlet Kitchen. Everyone was cracked up because Ashley had the tallest heels ever on and was having to squat down to be even with the men in the group ;)

And, Ryan decided to squat too

On Thursday night, we met up with the rest of Ryan's family that were also at the beach. It was a big crowd but so so much fun.

Friday, Ryan's family took me to my favorite shopping place at the beach and we went to eat out there for my birthday. The made me feel so special and really honored me on my birthday. It was so much fun! Also, Market Common is the best place ever!!

Adorable pic of Ash and Cory

Sporting our pink (I PROMISE we did not plan this...we never ever plan to match, but somehow we always end up walking out the house with the exact same color on)

After dinner at P.F. Chang's we went for some ice cream at our favorite spot, Painters...delicious!

How about this coordinating background?



The Reeses left on Saturday and R and myself headed over to my parent's beach house to hang out with some of my family. We all went out on the beach, had a baseball game and enjoyed the sunshine. We were all together for Father's day on Sunday morning and went out to eat breakfast together.

Davis was cracking us up relaxing in this chair...he looked so grown up, so....

we thought it would be funny if he posed with a Bud Light....I promise he did NOT drink a sip!

Love these little babies!!

Anna and myself....I have nicknamed my haircut "Shroom"(like a mushroom) and they all decided Anna had a "Shroom" haircut as well, so the entire day we were referred to as "Shroom 1" and "Shroom 2"

Love this man of mine!!

It was a great beach trip. I also was able to celebrate my birthday with both families which was fun as well. I can't wait to be back. Thanks to all those who made it so perfect!!

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a...

Praises!!!!

I found out this morning that I passed the board exam! I am beyond thankful for this blessing. All the time I was studying I was in a cloud of doubt...wondering if the PA profession was right for me, what would I do if I failed, how was I ever going to get through it? But, this process brought me to my knees in new ways. I prayed each day for His strength to bring His work to completion. This was the verse that I would repeat throughout the days of studying and it is so special to me: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great." -Psalm 18:35 The Lord answers prayer. This small prayer about helping give me success with the boards to bigger prayers about salvation for our loved ones and healing for those who are sick. We serve a God who hears us....HOW AMAZING!! He stoops down to uphold us in His right hand. Trust in Him today, friends. He IS surely big enough for anything you can lay at His feet. He hears you an...
