Vacation

We are in North Carolina on vacation!!!

It's been so relaxing and we've been having a blast. The weather is a little windy and chilly but compared to Michigan it's wonderful:-) It was great having George here for the weekend; he left for home today. Here are some pictures from our trip so far...

What can I say, we were bored... What do you think about the hair?!

At a rest stop, Sunita was so excited!
Visiting our cousins; Phoebe, Ruby, Abz, Rueben

This is the house we are staying in... it's awesome!Yesterday we played Putt-Putt and went Go-carting

This was supposed to be a golf progression

George said to "keep your eye on the ball" Too bad I couldn't see the ball...

For those who are wondering, the following pictures show off my wonderful putt-putting abilities. HA! These are all from one hole:-( For the record, I love chasing golf balls! It's so much fun, you should try it someday:-)

I think I finally just scooted the ball in

I think this was after 6 shots... It was a pretty emotional timeSimon wanted to be a statue

My beautiful sister

Today we went to Mayberry (it's actually called Mt. Aire) On the way we passed Pilot Mountain

I love these kinds of phones! This is the courthouse from Andy Griffith

Phebes liked it too

The Darlin's in front of their cabin. The boys are trying to be like "the boys"

At the Blue Bird Diner, Juanita's in the background. J/K it was really Ashley- she was really nice!

We also went to a really awesome mall today but I forgot my camera at home so we got no pictures. Have a wonderful night!

'Til the Storm Passes By

This is one of my favorite songs... It's so nice to know that no matter what we are going through God is always right there with us!

"Be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said,

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

~Hebrews 13:5

'Til the Storm Passes By
Vestal Goodman

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispered,
"There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies. When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;

In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I,
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

My Life

Wow, I just realized I haven't posted since New Years Day! So much has happened since then it's crazy! I have been very, very, busy but it's been good.
Right now my life is school, church, and babysitting. I am taking earth science, math for EL teachers, Spanish lit, and a journalism class. It's kind of a weird combination but it works. All my classes are fun but keep my busy, I always have something going on in all of my classes!
Phoebe left for BJU today with Suz, Mar, and Bethany. I know she is going to have a blast and I'm glad she gets to go! I just wish I were going to SC too:-( Oh well, at least we have nice weather here! I did wear flip flops to school today!!! It was WoNdErFuL!!!!!!
OH yea, I almost forgot... I am so proud of the Titans! They are absolutely amazing and almost won their game last night; it was soooooo close. Next time boys!!! I'll post some pictures sometime when I get a chance. Lydia and Hannah took some really cool pictures; Lydia got a picture of Stephen dunking which is very awesome!
SO as usual, this post is just a bunch of ramblings... oh well, maybe one of these days I'll post something that actually makes sense:-) I'm going to study for my math test. Have an absolutely, positively, lovely night!
P.S.
