Random Phone Pics/Instagrams

I saw this the other day and it just made me think of how many of my patients actually go through this. It all has to do with September. She's one of my favorite bloggers and I love that she tells it honestly like it is as she struggles with depression. It's an admirable thing, really. Click HERE to read it. It's not long and worth a quick glance.


I get to using my phone and tend to take LOTS of pics. Here are some pictures from my phone. Enjoy the randomness!

Went to lunch with a bestie at Chuy's.
This is on the back of the silverware. Cool!

I think he may run out of animals to put in his bed...

Suicide Awareness Day was Monday, September 10th.
In honor of it, you were supposed to write 'Love' on your Arm and wear yellow.
RIP KK

Reunited with my opal ring thanks to my bestie Missy from AU.

Someone fell asleep while drinking milk in the car.
He looks SO precious here. Look at those lashes! I just want to kiss those cheeks.

Boy, Photography has come a long way, huh? Me.

Church. LOVE.

The rabbit in C's new classroom. His name is Jasper. Like from Twilight.

I bruised my elbow. Ow!!

My babies cuddling. See his hand on her?

He LOVED a friend's cat. Like I wanted him to have his own he was so obsessed.

Still hugging the cat....

We went out to dinner the other night.
This is husband's Chicken Fried Steak.
He says it is on the smaller side.

Another Zoo Visit in the books

A few weeks ago, Husband needed to take a day of vacation before losing an accumulation of his hours. It was right around C's birthday, and it was the day after Husband's birthday. I was off already for working the weekend, so we decided to go do something fun for the boys' birthdays. This is where our zoo membership comes in! Luckily it was still in August when the zoo opens a full two hours earlier than normal, so we could get up and go early and get lots in before naptime. What was super awesome about this was it seems that most feeding times are pretty early in the morning, so we were there in enough time to watch the lions and snow leopards get fed. We stuck around to watch the Sea Lion show and even played on the playground. It was a fun little family outing and Little C seemed to really enjoy it as well. We are determined to get our money's worth out of our little membership, so hopefully we will go back soon!! Unfortunately, I forgot to pack my good camera and left it plugged in at home charging. So, these are all phone pics. Thank goodness for technology!

This is a Kudu. It looked a lot like a deer, and was RIGHT next to us.

the earless goat thingy, in the Children's petting zoo.

feeding time for the lions. Yes, that is a keg that must be a toy. Keepin' in classy.

They actually hide their meat all around and make them work to find it.

Waving to the animals.

This is Sandra. 

This is what Sandra is. 

Sandra followed us around and Camden waved at her alot. Curious little bird.

Yup. Still earless.

Do you see the sloth?

Okay here's a close up!!

We had a blast at the zoo. Can't wait to go back!!

Announcing: LifeChurch BA!!

Husband and I have been part of a core group of people starting up a new campus of our church here in town. LifeChurch currently has three campuses in town, and it was time to launch a fourth and we agreed to be a part of the core group to assist with the launch. We went to meetings to get fired up and worship together, and events at the church to assist with putting together furniture and set up and learn our roles for serving.

This past weekend was the launch date - and it was SO exciting! We had two services, a 10 and an 1130. Husband and I went to the ten which was so packed it ended up being standing room only. We served in between the 10 and 1130 and were amazed at how quickly that service filled up as well. All in all, our campus saw over 2100 attendees and 43 people committed their lives to Christ. Exciting, huh?

{blueprints. We got our permits to occupy only a few days before scheduled launch!}

{the next few are some of the wall art that I am SUPER in love with...}

{part of the HUGE kids room that Camden gets to play in..they are almost double in size from what we are used to!}

{The LifeKIDS area, so nice!}

This building actually used to be an old Albertson's. God had plans for us to use it, as it sat vacant waiting on us for about five years and then our church got an amazing deal on it. It just shows God provides for his people!

We were so packed out, that after one week they are already adding another service! This coming weekend there will be a 10, and 1130 and a 1! We are well on our way to having enough services to add a Saturday night, which is my FAVORITE time to go to church! (And it works out the best since I work every third weekend) Bring it on BA, let's do it!

More Cell phone pictures...

More work shots. Aren't the dogwoods beautiful? I love springtime. I love dogwoods. I am so over winter that I actually love my allergies right now. Yup, that's right. I said it. Thank goodness for warmer weather!
