I love Craigslist

I found this great cabinet for a steal off Craiglist! We have been looking for something bigger to put all our dishes in and couldn't believe it when we found this beauty.

Ryan and I worked hard on it one night ( we.... really means Ryan. But I did sit outside with him and read a book =)

The finished product. (Except for 2 missing white knobs that we finally found)

I am so pleased with it.
And of course I love my new sign, "Life is short, eat cookies." For anyone who really knows me... it is a rule I live by.

Trip to the Zoo

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to the Asheboro zoo with Tootsie and Bampaw.

Walking into the zoo where he spotted an ant. I think it might have been his favorite exhibit.

Checking out the elephants with Tootsie

We had a blast! Samuel did great and loved seeing all the animals. He was so worn out from all the excitement he fell asleep a minute after getting into the car. Poor buddy....

Badin Lake

We packed up the car after church on Sunday and headed to Badin lake. We LOVED getting away for 3 days. We rested, cooked fun meals, played at the pool, took lots of golf- cart rides and read lots of books. I was so proud of Ryan that he relaxed and read a book that did not involve theology!

Our "mini" vacation has gotten us excited for a week away at the end of August!

Mother's Day Week-end

First... let me just say that I know I am a terrible blogger.

Second... I know I am also going a month back, but I can't pass up a cute picture.

Mother's Day week-end Samuel and I traveled up to Richmond since Ryan was in San Diego with the Summit pastors. Here is our trip in pictures...

Mowing the lawn.... tough work.

And catching his first egg!
