Fun weekend








We spent this last weekend with some friends of ours at their beach house on Fripp Island. It was alot of fun, and it was great to be away from the house for a weekend. It was REALLY cold there, but we rode around on the golf cart, fed some deer, went down to the beach for a few minutes, and had alot of fun talking and being lazy!! It was great! The kids had a blast.








Bella told me on Tuesday that 2 amazing things had happened today, "One, it is snowing here, and two, the first african american became president." Yes- it snowed here, and yes - it was cool to be living during a history making moment. I pray that the Lord will be with our country thru this transition.

Back in Texas

Well, we got back to SC this past Sunday. It was hard to leave Texas, but we had a great time while we were there. We rented a limo to go and look at Christmas lights, and Bella thought that was the coolest thing ever! We are so blessed to have such an awesome family, and it was great to see all of them!
Rob and I talked alot about whether or not he should stay in the marine corp or get out. We are making plans to get out, but we are not closing the door on staying in either. If we are financially ready to get out in two years, then that is the plan. It is so hard being far away from family, and we don't want the kids to have to move and make new friends every few years. It's not really fair to them. Plus, we would like to buy a house and live in it for more than three years. So, please keep us in your prayers thru this decision making process.
Right before we left, we found out that Bella was accepted into the gifted and talented program at her school. We are really excited for her. This will be a great opportunity for her learn while using creativity.
Parker is still into everything. He drank some carpet cleaner while we were home in Texas. We had to call poision control. He threw up once, but was ok afterwards. Mom quickly learned that all of her cabinets need child proof locks on them.
That is all of the updates that I have at this time. Until next time...God bless!
