Mountain Top Experiences

Our family went on vacation this last week. (that post to follow soon) There was one particular morning where I got up early and went for a run. When I was finished I decided to go and peer out over the surrounding mountains and view. As I stood there and tried to take in the vast beauty of it all, I was reminded how creative and amazing my God is. The wind seemed to swirl around me as I closed my eyes and listened to a worship song on my ipod. It was as if the wind was kissing my cheeks and then whisping away to find someone else to embrace. God was with me and it was an amazing time to just be still and enjoy all He has to offer in those moments.
I find myself encouraged and embraced by the Lord. However, I also find myself challenged. I LOVE those mountain top experiences and thank God that He allows us to have them every once in awhile. But, learning to carry those moments and encourage those around me can be more challenging. In all honesty, I'm selfish. I don't always want to put others first (as much as I hate to admit it). God granted me the serenity that I so desperately wanted this weekend. He is always in the process of granting me nuggets of wisdom. And I pray that I will always want to do better at trying to encourage others the way that He encourages me.

Dance Camp

Dance Camp this summer was a super success. Isabella loved every single second of it. She learned so much. She is excited to continue her training this year. She can't wait till next Spring when she gets to perform for all her family. Great form Isabella.
Right on cue with the teacher already!



New friends and slushies.

UH OH!!






Once again, we have thrown caution to the wind and have fallen to the suggestion of a friend. Thank you to Austin for sharing this wonderful idea of jumping on our trampoline with water balloons. WE HAD FUN!!






Bella Dancerella

It is time! Isabella has been patiently waiting for her chance to begin dance classes. She started dance camp this week. She is just beside herself excited. She is being introduced to ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop this week. We'll see which style she decides to stick with this year. She loves them all so far and I have a feeling it will be a very hard choice for her. Isn't she just TOO CUTE!! :)

Another Year Goes By

It happened on July 28, 2008. Timothy James Currey was born. His life was far shorter than any of us wanted. He was able to spend 2 hours and 50 minutes in the arms of his parents and siblings.

Any of us who were priviledged to know of him were touched by him. God has used his beautiful life and death in the lives of so many. We don't understand or like how God chooses to do things sometimes. That's o.k.! But, we give Him the glory and rest in His sovereignty.

Our family was honored to spend Timothy's birthday with his family this year. They released ladybugs in his honor. It was so special and those moments are etched in my mind and heart forever.
