A relaxing campout

-



4 creative minds came up with this activity after a fun day of garage sales. We got so many awesome deals....a brand new cedar chest for $25 (which will be passed down to Ashlyn), tons of Plaza clothes for me for $1 each, some tennis rackets for $1 each, 3 new lamps - $7 for all 3, hanging planter baskets - 4 for $1, light sabers and big horse - $1 each, some American Girl gifts for Christmas ($7 and $10 for those), a birthday bike for Jonathan for $5 and a table runner and huge gorgeous fabric for .50 each. I'm sure I am missing others, but these were some favorites. We went to a huge neighborhood one most of Friday morning in the rain and then 3 others on Sat. It was a lot of fun. I'll try to post some pics of the cedar chest. My mother-in-law is buying it for me for my birthday :)

Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

  Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are in disbelief that another year has come and gone and continue to be grateful for all we have today. 2023 was a year of growth, graduations, change, and loss. John and Deanna inch closer to being empty nesters and can't belief they have 3 ADULT children now! Our lives as parents have seen a shift more this year as our oldest kid moved across the the country and the thought of the next season of our life is pretty exciting. We celebrated 25 years of marriage in August and hope to take an international trip at the beginning of 2024 to celebrate. We were able to take a few trips this year together along with a few trips with different kids. These adventures continue to be a favorite part of each year and the memories made have been incredible. Deanna and Joshua took a trip to Utah this summer before he went back to college and saw multiple National Parks. This peaked a new bucket list interest for Deanna who is now trying to visit every ...
