First date in a year and a half!

Hi everyone! For those of you who know me well, you know why I haven't posted anything on here in more than a week. I have been a little busy! I have been going to yard sales, fall festivals, football games, Kohls,  and eating an enormous amount of American cuisine! I am happy. Really happy! Oh, I have been visiting with family while I have been doing all of those things which has made everything even more fun!

One of the things I was blessed with this weekend was a special date with my husband. When I mean special, I mean REALLY special. Kingston Ave. Baptist Church who has partnered with us, and sent our last two teams; decided they would spoil us. We were beyond blessed by our hotel stay at the Hyatt Place and our dinner at Ruth's Chris. (They even took care of our kids and treated them to a very special night of bowling!)  It was awesome and I will never forget it! So, Thank You everyone at KAB for the wonderful gift! We love you all!
A picture I took at our family reunion at a park here.

Annie and Caroline, best buds!


Before the Colt's game they were picking their noses with their foam fingers.....

After the game they were wiping their tears with them. :o(

Greg and I were gonna have fun win or lose! And we did!

Grandma, me, Jerod, Clay, Greg and Alex.


Greg's mom, Grandma, Mom, Mama Char, so many other names... made me a wonderful cake to celebrate my birthday  a week late. It was yummy! Thanks Mom!

We are having an incredible vacation and are enjoying every bit of it. I will never tire of being in the US during the fall season. Along with the changing colors of the leaves we have also noticed many other changes in the past year and a half.  Gas prices, everyone seems to have an iphone, everyone seems to text, ( this was big then but not like now) and our kids don't know a lot of things about this culture.  I will give you and example, we were at church and Annie asked me where my purse was. I said, "It's on the pew." Her response, "What's a pew?" Hmmm.. Another one, "Hey Mommy guess where I ate? I ate at the little girl with the red hair and freckles place." Wendy's. My baby doesn't know what Wendy's is! There have been a few other things that have made us say, "Oh my, they don't know that?" But, they don't seem to care and we think it is comical so we are enjoying all of the experiences! Please keep praying for us as we will be traveling over the next few weeks. Our vacation isn't quite over yet! Love you all! Missy

There are so many other pictures that I wanted to upload but my computer won't let me. No idea why this happens. ???? Anyway, I will try again tomorrow to upload more. Love ya!
