July 4th Vacation

This post is much delayed...I know!!! With that said, we had a great 4th of July! Ryan and I headed to the beach with my family for the 4th. We left Greenville and headed to the beach Tuesday night. We were a little disappointed this year because my brother and his family were not going to be able to come. But, when we got to the beach house, Quin popped up from behind the couch to surprise us! We were so pumped because the entire family was together. In another house at Litchfield by the Sea, my grandmother and aunts and rest of the family were staying. So, we were all close to the same place at the same time!!! 

We were there in time for the July 4th parade. They let the kids decorate the golf cart and it looked great. We watched the parade and got in the July 4th spirit. Then, we hung out on the beach and ate a dinner of delicious seafood.

We had a great dinner at Miyabis' one night. I am seriously obsessed with steak these days, so the food was like the best thing I have eaten since I have been pregnant. We laid out at the beach, went to the pool, got ice cream and one night went to Legends in Concert. It was a wonderful trip!

Cutest thing!!

It was so hard to leave the beach and head home. Sad that our planned vacations were over and so sad to leave all the family. But, it was such a great time and we cannot until next year when our baby boy will hopefully be along for the ride, too!!

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 ...

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

Lesson in the Messes

I am having a moment where I need some blogging therapy....been so long since I have hit the blogging scene but today I just felt the need for some bloggin'. At 9 am today, I was covered in poop and headed down the road of a full on melt down (me, not my 2 1/2 year old or my 10 month old---ME). We are in the throws of potty training and my type A self is taking accidents way to personally....am I alone here? I pray not.....Anyways, Jackson says he has to poop but I cannot get there because I am changing my 10 month old's poopy diaper and I tell him just to go in his Pull Up. Which I am going ahead and embracing Pull Ups after an accident soaking the entire couch and another one involving a fairly new rug!! Anyways, I finally got him out of his chair about 30 minutes later and there is poop everywhere- I mean EVERYWHERE...covering the chair, my son, his feet, his legs but I do not realize how much body surface is covered until I get him into his room and start changing him. I...
