Memorial Day...And Birthday Parties....

This past weekend I had high hopes of laying out by the pool and catching some rays...but for those who live in the Hattiesburg area know that it rained for THREE days straight! So instead I relaxed inside and spent time with family. Saturday we did run over to a friend's house to visit for a little while before going over to eat supper with my parents. For Memorial Day Shea and I went over to the Greer's house for Charles' birthday. We had a good time and ended the night with a friendly competition of boys vs. girls...in TABOO. Guess who won?? THE GIRLS of course!!!


Wednesday night we celebrated my friend Rachel's 30th birthday at Walnut Circle Grill. The food was great as usual and we had such a great time with just the girls.

I ask for prayers for my uncle who is being deployed to Iraq in a month. He will be gone for 6 months and will be leaving a wife and two precious boys at home in San Antonio. We will all miss him dearly but know that our Lord and Savior will be with him as his protector.

2 John 1:3 - Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, The Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.

With Love,

Bethany

Playing Catch Up

I am going to warn you all from the beginning...This is going to be a long post full of pictures and update from the month of May. We have been going non-stop this month. The first weekend we had the Jefferson Davis Relay for Life walk on Friday night...a Homebuilder's Seminar at our church Saturday, and then we surprised my niece with Taylor Swift tickets!

Our relay for life team did exceptionally well raising over $13,000!!! We were the "GREASE" team..."Cure is the Word"!



The Taylor Swift concert was OUTSTANDING! The concert began at 7:30 with Glorianna peforming first...then Kellie Pickler...and last Taylor Swift. We left at 11:15! Taylor performed for over 2 hours! This concert was well worth the money! We surprised my niece Madison with the tickets the day of the concert. She thought that we were going to spend "special" time together that day...I dressed her up in a dress and cowboy boots...TOO CUTE! When we got in the car I turned Taylor Swift up loud on my IPOD and told her we were on our way to see her LIVE in concert...Madison was speechless! And for those of you that know Madison...her being speechless says ALOT!!!






The next weekend was filled with one of my best friends wedding festivities. Jamie Walker tied the knot with Scott Martin. We had such a great weekend with friends. Friday we had bridesmaid luncheon and rehearsal and dinner. Saturday morning Shea and I fixed breakfast for all of our friends in town for the wedding and then we all got to hang out by the pool for a few hours. Saturday night was the wedding and it was a BLAST!!! Shea performed his usual wedding song..."Never Been to Spain"...a special request from the bride. After the first song he had a double encore...too much fun! Sunday was such a hard day...much harder than I ever expected...It was Mother's Day. When we found out we were pregnant it was around the time of Mother's Day. I had such high hopes of my Mother's Day this year with Mary Glenn...holding her...and being so thankful to be a mother. Well as we know God had another plan for MG...so she spent Mother's Day with our Lord and Savior...but I can promise you that she was with me all day in spririt. I miss you so much MG...I can't believe it has been 6 months!

Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal dinner...




And the wedding...







Last weekend began with our nephew's graduation from Prentiss Prebyterian Christian school. Congratulations Ty! The rest of the weekend our friends Lori and Carson came in town to spend the weekend. Lori's husband Gerrod was off fishing so it was a good time to visit. I had so much fun with Carson. It is so hard to believe that he will be THREE in August. We swam...took naps...ate Hibatchi (Carson wants to be a Hibatchi chef when he grows up...haha)...visited with friends...and had a GREAT time!

Ty Daniels...



Here is a picture of Carson helping his "Uncle" Shea play the guitar.



Sorry for the long post...but I had a little house cleaning to do...I should be talking with you sooner next time! We don't have much planned the next two weeks...but I am preparing for my trip to NYC!!!! I am going to leave you with a few random pictures...

Here is Madison sound asleep on a raft in our pool on Mother's Day...She was totally exhausted.



Below is a picture of some friends that I work with...please excuse the fact that I am in a bar in my bridesmaid dress!!!



Without God it is utterly impossible. But with God everything is possible. Mark 10:27
