2014 BBC Youth Rally.

March brought on lots of Bible verse memorization, prep for the youth rally, and lots more. The youth rally at our church is honestly one of the best times ever. There is so much fellowship, games, talking, making friends, and most importantly lots of preaching!! This year our guest preacher was Bro. Travis Alltop. He's from Danville, Kentucky. He is one the best preachers you will ever hear!! And he also is a very good singer! I love his CDs!!!



Saturday morning we started off by getting our t-shirts, saying verses, and talking!

The theme this year was "A Firm Foundation". Our only sure foundation in life, that will last forever, is Jesus Christ! He is sure to help you and save you if you will only put your trust in Him.

Dougie always does such a great job on Bible Trivia! Thankful for a brother that knows his Bible!

Where do I start??

I think the title is appropriate for this post. :) We've had so much going on I haven't had time for blogging. :/ I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things for this blog! For now we need to go back a couple of weeks to Abby's visit..............


We always look forward, months ahead of time, to Abby's coming down. It is one of the best times of the year! Days filled with lots of talking, laughing, pictures being taken, and much more! There really isn't time to tell details and details of things we did, so mostly I will leave the pictures to do the talking, with some words here and there. :)

Love this picture of my mom and Abby!!!

The day at Winter Park was one of the most fun times!!

God's creation is truly marvelous!

Abby was here for my birthday. We went out to eat, and then we went to Cranes Roost to walk around the lake! It was a very nice time, and we took some great pictures! I especially like this one!

It was nice to have someone to take a family picture for us!!

I really like this one. So thankful for the wonderful family that I have!! :)







This has to be one of my all time favorite pictures that we have had taken together!

Dougie and Abby have been official since December!!!!! ;)



It was great to see Abby's mom for a few days as well!!!

After Abby left town my grandpa came! We had such a wonderful time, and I miss him a lot. We were so very busy that week getting ready for the youth rally at church and everything with my grandpa, so I didn't get a chance to snap a lot of pictures. Most of the ones that we did get are phone pictures, but pictures nonetheless. :) For now I'll just post the two that I have on the computer.







Lunch at Panera. =)



This is such a special picture. It will always help us to remember the time when he came to visit, and it is just such a special picture to be able to have forever!! So thankful he was able to come down!!!!

Our Little Visitor

On Wednesday my little buddy came over for a few hours. :) I was so excited for him to come and to spend some time with him!! Here are just a few pictures. ;)



Cutest little smile! ;) And that hat.....so adorable.

Look at the cute little half smile. ;)

A little pianist. :p

We were so glad to have Abby with us when he came over. :)

He loves his little balls.

What a cutie!

I love it when babies examine their hands or feet...something new to them. :)

I'll be posting soon on Abby's trip here. She left yesterday. :( We always have such a great time, and the time that she is here flies by too quickly. Can't wait to see her again in May! Miss you, Abby!

Never Ending.....

There is a never ending supply of projects going on around here....mostly gifts either for babies soon to arrive, for birthdays, for missionaries (to remind them we are praying for them), and everything in between. =)


My latest crocheted dishcloths were for our good friend, Mrs. Holt, a missionary in Sierra Leone, Africa. Some people in our church were sending a package over to the Holts, so I got busy working on dishcloths and a letter!!

A young lady from our church is living with and helping the Holts for a year, so I included a letter for her and a button bookmark. =)



This bookmark works great in any book!!!!

This is such a quick and easy thing to make. Who wouldn't love such a cute little bookmark?!?!  The tutorial for it is found here. 

That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a great March so far!! Time goes by so quickly...can't believe we are already into March!!! =)
