Hope Continually -- Psalm 71:14

  July was another busy summer month for us!  This summer has just flown by and here it is already August. At the beginning of July, Summer attended NEXT Camps at Pensacola Christian College.  She did the drama camp and absolutely loved it.  On that Friday of camp, July 4th, Eric and I drove to Pensacola to see their performances, stayed the night and we drove home on Saturday. The very next day, we were off to San Antonio, TX for our Aspire July event.  I was able to check off another place in my National Park sites book and we saw The Alamo!   Then it was off to Tennessee for Youth Conference!  We also visited Great Smoky Mountain National Park and I got another stamp in my NP book. :). It was an awesome week! We drove home that Friday and then I drove to Pensacola and back the next day to pick up Addie and Autumn.   The fourth week was normal home activities and then hosting the Martin family for dinner before they left for their year...

Neat historical facts from the past. All the information along with artifacts from space travel and the walking on the moon. Incredible insight! Family photo:  Dad, Mom, Addie, Autumn, Sierra, Eric and Summer They also offered a fantastic movie on the history of the event.  Loved seeing the old footage! A neat personal story is my parents came here fifty years ago on their honeymoon.  Now on the year of their 50th wedding anniversary, they were able to come again. Fifty years of marriage - coming back to the spot where it first began. :) Gifts for my mom.  She collects magnets. Gift for my two sisters. I try to get a Christmas ornament from our trips for our memories. My parents' 50th anniversary gift from me.   You can look up any date in history.  It will show you which...
