Hot in Columbia

So this past weekend we drove down to Columbia to spend some time with great friends and our business team in Columbia, SC. Although it was way hot, every time we all get together it's nothing short of a wonderful time, and again we came home Sunday energized by all the success everyone is having. It's amazing to see this kind of growth even in a "down economy" It's always great seeing people come from states away and catching up with whats going on in their lives and how they've been. Of course we showed off pictures of our new puppy, SSgt Lucy, a blue merle Great Dane who came to us through rescue. pic to follow :)
Its all to easy to lose sight of what a blessed life we live, and just how much God has shown us through His grace. Weekends of fellowship with our team and friends always puts that into perspective. On Sunday, we had such a wonderful morning service. It's amazing just how many people came to know Jesus that morning (probably atleast 500+), and I know they have huge victory awaiting in their futures. I look forward to reaching out to even more people and changing their lives far more than they could have ever imagined!

what a beautiful day

Day one, I stumbled through hello on 5th Ave
Day two, we grabbed a bite to eat 
And talked all afternoon
Caught a movie on day fourteen
And day sixty-seven she said "I love you" to me
Oh, what a feelin'
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowin'
Ooh, we had our ups and downs 
All along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day
Day one-sixteen I asked her what she was doin' 
For the rest of my life
Day one eighty- nine, oh I almost lost that girl
To my foolish pride
She said "I do" 
On day four eighty-two
And gave me a son
On day seven sixty-one
Oh, what a feelin'
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowin'
Ooh, we had our ups and downs 
All along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day
Day eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty-three
Well, honey that's fifty years
Yeah, here's to you and me
Oh, what a feelin'
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowin'
Ooh, we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day
Day one
I thank God I said hello on 5th Ave

Beginning of a Blog

So today I thought to myself, what better way to keep our families informed on what's happening in our lives....
from restoring an Antebellum home, to building our business, riding cross country and everything in between!
There are numerous times Chris and I are out and about chasing our dreams and I wish I could just update you all at the same time...now I can! So forgive me if I ramble and my grammar isn't perfect. You'll find more raves than rants, and I hope to inspire you from time to time! Happy Blogging!


for now I leave you with this thought from Thomas Edison...
"If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astonish ourselves."
