When in the midst of a conflict I hope to desire a God glorifying resolution and peace instead of proving I'm right.
-Just one of those things I've been thinking about and asking God for help with

friends for a visit
We had the Bartows stay with us Sunday evening through Monday morning. We'd always hoped one day they might visit, but until this past week had never actually known how much fun it would be. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!
Monday- We headed over to Reaghan's pool for the afternoon. It rained, thundered, and there was some lightning which kept us on their back porch for part of the time. That night we enjoyed a delish dinner together and watched the movie Emma
Tuesday- We made a run to Michael's to grab some paper & supplies to decorate the cigar boxes my mom and I had previously picked up. We spent the afternoon decorating our boxes and talking together. I ended up giving my box just today to J'Nelle as part of a birthday present. It was fun carrying on the tradition of our moms to do projects and crafty things together.
Wednesday- We traveled to Williamsburg for they day. To begin, we explored Colonial Williamsburg. It was HOT, but we had fun. One of my fav parts was trying to take a pic of some flowers while dodging a sprinkler. The Cheese Shop made for an appetizing lunch, though we had to fight off a company of yellow jackets. After lunch, we moved onto shopping at the outlets. By the end of the day we were all exhausted.
Thursday- Of course Thursday was beach day! We played soccer, enjoyed getting in the water, and sun bathing. That evening we watched the boys' last summer bball game before heading over to Reaghan's to swim again. A lot of people went and I got to spend some time talking with Abigail and girl named Laura.
Friday- We worked out at the Y and then layed out for a few hours. That night we took Abigail and Anna with us to 316.
Saturday- We spent most of the day getting ready to go out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory in Town Center. We all dressed up in sort of coordinating outfits. Dinner was really good and we all felt completely stuffed afterwards. We ended the evening walking down at the boardwalk.
Sunday- We just hung out around the house and ended the night with Skinny Dip. It was sad to see them off the next morning but we're hoping/praying they might be able to move here.
