We just celebrated our tenth anniversary. We took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. It was one of the best vacations ever. It was SO relaxing! We almost got to experience our first hurricane. Thankfully, it ended up just a tropical storm by the time it hit our resort! Praise the Lord! I'm so thankful for my husband and for the ten wonderful years we have spent together. He is my best friend and love of my life! God has truly blessed us!
Here is a link to pictures of our trip!

What will he ask me next??
Funny conversation with Isaac today......
Isaac: "Mommy, do bears and tigers poop?"
Me: "Ummm....yes...."
Isaac: "Do they poop in the grass?"
Me: "Yes.....all animals poop outside in the grass."
Isaac: "But we poop in the toilet, right?"
Me: "Yes!"
Isaac: "And we're God's sheep, right?"
Me: "Yes...."
Isaac: "So, when we're God's sheep, we poop in the grass?"
Me: "NO! We don't ever poop outside or in the grass!"
Isaac: "But, if we're God's sheep, we have to poop outside because we're sheep."
Me: "It's an analogy that we are sheep. It's kind of like pretend. We aren't REALLY sheep. God just calls us his sheep. So, we NEVER poop outside."
Isaac: "Oh....."
Isaac: "Mommy, do bears and tigers poop?"
Me: "Ummm....yes...."
