Cardboard Testimonies

I saw this and just sobbed. God's grace and love for us is amazing!

Today I...

Went to Carowinds and had a blast with my friend Tami!!


This is us after we had been on the Super Saturater...needless to say we were saturated through and through, but it felt so good!!







This is the Carolina Cyclone (two loops, two corkscrews ) She rode it with me...I'm so proud!!! Although, there was a price to be paid...









This was my pay back...Drop Tower!!! 175 feet in the air and then...free fall!!!








Great day, with a great friend...can't get any better than that!!

Learning to dance

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass,

its about learning to dance in the rain."

Weekend trip

Just got back from a loooong weekend trip to Ohio! Had a great time, but it was a very busy weekend! The trip itself is 10-11 hours and ours started out with car trouble that actually delayed us, oh about 5 hours in drive time. So we ended up not leaving until the next morning after driven for 5 hours and ending up back at home...but we made it up for a graduation party a surprise birthday party and new haircuts!! So, all in all it was a good trip and we got to see lots of family and friends, that makes up for the crappy start!!

Here are some pics. from the weekend events:
