Practice makes Perfect

So, the timing was tight, but we moved out of our event space on Tuesday, and Wednesday and Thursday the girls were getting our hair colored and cut, our nails done, our dresses ironed, our bags packed and putting finishing touches on the rehearsal dinner for THE WEDDING. I was pretty exhausted but the girls helped out as Richard was on the road taking care of business. 

It was a beautiful Friday as we drove to Rogers to start decorating and helping prepare for the rehearsal dinner and help decorate the wedding venue. Katelyn's family had done so much great planning and organizing, we brought all our hands and made light work of the set up. Ryan and Kate were all smiles as we gathered with the nicest group of friends anyone could ever have. We were rehearsed, we were fed, we prayed over the couple, and we were ready for THE WEDDING. 

RL Russellville ~ Event 15!

We were so excited to be in the Boys & Girls club for our 15th event in Russellville. It was our first time there and my FIRST time to live in Russellville during an event! The location was wonderful...except that it was super hot somedays as the gym's A/C couldn't keep up with the large room. Heat notwithstanding, we had a wonderful event with over 54,000 items! 650 families consigned with us and we had over 150 volunteers! I'm so thankful for my super team that keeps things running so smoothly. I hired some young people to help people in out of their cars at check in, and help people load things during PreSale. It makes such a difference when you love on people and have great people working for you. I'm thankful for my event, for the opportunity I'm given to love on so many people and for our community! 

One month

I'm one month behind in blogging and so much has happened I hardly know where to start: I finished my 15th event, Ryan is married, Erin is at college, the littles are in new schools, and we have started our building process.

I'll catch up soon.

Our verse for this first week of school:

New Friends

Thankful for these three kiddos and their family! In one week we met them at basketball camp, then Camp Caudle, and then played basketball together! Our kids were meant to be friends! This week we had them over to swim, and Saturday Richard took all the kids on a hike. I couldn't be more thankful for sweet families and kind children for our kids to play with!

Best Weekend Yet

We've had some fun summer weekends! But last weekend was the BEST one so far! Lauren and Erin came home, we celebrated for July 4th, we ate some super delicious meals, and Mimi and Gramps came to visit! The sun was out, our family sat together at church, we picked peaches and it was as it should be. Missing Ryan and Katelyn, but talked to them both... We're best when we're together: FAMILY.

Summer Moments

The summer is moving pretty quickly and we've had lots to do. We've been watching the red birds eat from Jordan's birdfeeder, swimming in our pool, going on hikes, and making new friends. 

This summer: new friends and old friends.
