Colorado, youth group style!

The spirit of man is the candle of The Lord. Proverbs 20:27

Jake had a fabulous time with the youth group on their travels to Southfork, CO.  They spent two days getting there and two days getting home, but had much fun along the way!  




The Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX


Blue hole in New Mexico! Water was 60 degrees!


White water rafting in Colorado.



Beautiful country!



I'm happy he had such a great time, but glad he is home!

A Dance to Remember


We had the pleasure of witnessing a beautiful wedding this past weekend. Tyler was one of the groomsmen. He looked sharp and handsome in his tux! During the ceremony, I found my mind imagining his wedding one day all while my youngest son sat next to me holding my hand. I am the luckiest Mom in the world!

I also experienced sharing my first dance with my sons! Jake's first dance ever, and it was with me! I don't even recall the song, just how sweet it was and how he smiled at me and said "I love you, mom".  It felt as if no one else was there, just me teaching my son how to dance.  My dance with Tyler was to Garth Brooks singing "Unconditional".  A flood of emotions all at one time! I once again imagined his wedding one day and us dancing the Groom/Mother dance. He was so strong and took charge! The song was perfect! Unconditional, yes that's how I love my sons! Beautiful dances I will always remember!

We had a great time and hope the newly weds will have a lifetime full of love!
