Got lots to do and so little time! We are prepping for a move in a few weeks so tonight I'm gonna summarize by quickly posting pictures and telling everyone that we simply went camping over the Holiday weekend. Camping is camping, and there aren't many details to note....It was a good 2 days with our best friends. The Gilleys, the Pentecosts, the Rohlings, and the Weldons all drove down to Blue Mountain and spent some quality time in the great outdoors- no phones, no electricity, no "social-media," no hot water, just fun times (and delicious food!). There were 8 adults and 10 kids, ages 4 and under! It was chaotic and crazy and awesome! I am SO thankful we were able to go and forget our troubles for a bit. I'm really going to miss this gang of ours. We've been through a lot together in just a few short years! We truly love them.

If you noticed that maybe I wasn't too "cheery" in this post (as in posts past) it's because I'm not feeling very cheerful lately. I know I still have a LOT to be thankful for and I have really good people in my life offering to help out our family during our time of crisis, so I'm extremely appreciative of that. This camping trip was important to Shawn and I because we wanted one last "hurrah" with our besties before our family dives into another unknown. We wanted time outdoors to forget the bills and stress at home. I am sad and nervous for what's to come, but praying that this makes us stronger. We will get through it. I love you all and am thankful for your words of encouragement and love.
I just have to say that I LOVE YOU! And I am so grateful that you have such good friends to cheer you up and support you in your trials. They are God's blessing to you! Love the post! Looks like a lot of fun! Getting dirty is such fun when you're a child. Our prayers are with you sweetie. Hang in there. After the rain come the rainbows.
