I'm back! (Did you miss me?!) Friday memes

We just got back home from vacation in Pennsylvania. I must admit that PA still kind of feels like home but so does NC and every other place that we have been. It really hit home (no pun intended) that we were home when I saw some homecoming signs that a friend had up. So in honor of homecomings....here is the sign that I made for 10 week old Kendall to have for her daddy in 2006. It reads Daddy when you left I was this big (picture of her in utero) and then Come see me now! Happy Friday Photo Flashback!

And...here we go!

1. This is what life does. It lets you fall until you realize that God is in charge then it picks you right back up!
2. Doesn't it make you want to drink in the beauty & appreciate the moment?
3. Upon reflection I probably shouldn't have said that!
4. I saw a lot of family this past week that I haven't got to see for quite a long time.
5. Later, you wake up in a good mood!
6. Let's sail away to the far and boundless sea.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to game night with great friends, tomorrow my plans include unpacking, straightening up the house, church, & life group and Sunday, I want to play it by ear!

1. A very nostalgic place that reminds me of being a kid is the creek down by my parents house. I have very fond memories of jumping off the bank into the water.

4. When it comes to saving money I am getting much better with age.
