LET'S GO CAMPING !!!

We are so ready to do some camping now. We have bought a nice camper (30 feet long) and are ready to enjoy the great outdoors. My family is looking forward to fishing, hiking, tubing, swimming and of course, grilling. There's nothing like the taste of food cooked on a grill. It tastes even better when we can sit by a cozy campfire.

Our journey started when I mentioned the fact that I wanted to purchase a pop-up camper, just something inexpensive. A place where we wouldn't have to sleep on the ground. That "tent" camping is hard on us old people. And besides, I must have A/C . Eddy and Logan said to me that I would not be happy with a pop-up. They were right, I don't know what I was thinking. Anyways, we searched Craig's List daily for a nice, gently used camper. Eddy faithfully bought the Bulletin Board newspaper to me every Thursday, to search for the perfect camper. After weeks of searching and 500 miles of traveling to view campers, north and south of here, we found the perfect one!

I thank The Lord that He allowed us to be able to make this purchase and ask that He grant us many fun family camping adventures.

Logan is preparing for "HIGH SCHOOL" . OH MY GOSH!!!

Eddy and I attended a meeting with Logan this week to set his schedule for his freshman classes! I can not believe that my Little Man (I can't call him that anymore), is preparing for his first year of high school. It seems like last year that we were sending him to preschool. As I have taken this journey of being a mother, I have truly learned to appreciate"the moment". Life just seems to zip past us so very fast. Logan is such a wonderful person and I pray that he will continue to be.

I ask that each of you pray for me to be able to make this transition. I feel that Logan will do just fine, but as for myself, it's hard to face this milestone. I often think of college or work and a family taking Logan away from home........away from me. It's hard to bare the thought! He is truly my life.
