My best friend Amanda, her husband Jeremy and their two kids arrived early this morning at 7am. They drove the entire night, 12 hours, from Arkansas to visit us for a couple days before heading off for a family vacation in Gatlinburg. I am soaking up my time w/ her since I only get to see her about once a year. So, that means I'll be on a blogging vaca until at least Sunday night. See you all then....with pictures in tow!

Amanda tagged me, so reluctantly here goes:
Crazy Eights
Eight things I am passionate about:
~ Christ
~ My family
~ My friends
~ Laughing
~ Breastfeeding
~ Foster Care
~ Student Ministry
~ Homeschooling
Eight things I say a lot:
"be gentle"
"be still"
"be nice"
"Use your spoon/fork"
"Leave him/her alone"
"Please stop screaming"
"I love you"
"Say you're sorry"
Eight things I'd like to do before I die (These are completely off the top of my head and have had NO forethought, so I reserve the right to delete any at any given time):
~ Pray with someone to receive Christ
~ Get a tattoo
~ Own an RV and see everything North & South America have to offer
~ Watch my kids grow up and live their lives for Christ
~ Be a grandmother
~ Have tons of kids through either birth or adoption (with 4 already in the house, I'd say we're well on our way)
~ Spend an extended amount of time in Europe/Asia
~ Take our kids to Disney and not worry about what we're spending
Eight books I've read recently:
~ Bible by God
~ Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby
~ Captivating by John and Stasi Elderidge
~ Train Up A Child by Michael and Debi Pearl

~ Bible Board books, ie..Jonah, Joseph, Daniel
Eight Movies I have seen eight times:
