Update

Well after telling someone about my blog this morning, I decided it was time to come back and do an update. I didn't realize I haven't posted since my BIRTHDAY! Wow. Where to even begin. So much has happened over the last 5 months. I'll do a quick list to catch you up on what has happened over the summer and fall.

* We went on a cruise in August with Charis and Bert (my sis and bro-in-law) and had an absolute BLAST! One of the best vacations I have had. We started in Miami and then went to Grand Cayman Island, Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel. I'll post with pictures and a lot more about the trip later.

* Bo started his last semester in Grad School! Hallelujah praise the Lord he is almost done! Next semester will be a tough one as his last class in Dallas doesn't get done until around 10 pm... I hate when he has to drive home that late.

* Upon preparing for our cruise, Bo and I started running in April. I have so far ran a 5K in 25 minutes, a 10K in 56 minutes and am preparing for a half marathon in 2 weeks. What started out as an easy way to lose weight has become a life changing experience. I feel so close to God when I am out on the road alone in my thoughts...but that's another post all together :)

* I finished a 6 week bible study that encouraged and filled me with His Spirit even more. It was called Deeper Still and it was wonderful!

* New and wonderful friends have come into our life over the past few months. And, I have formed deeper relationships with some amazing ladies at church.

* God has restored and rebuilt relationships in my life that had fallen a part, and He has helped heal my bitterness.

So much more has happened in our day to day life, but for now that is a good place to stop. I'll keep updating on some of the things I mentioned!
