Watermelon, Watermelon, Watermelon Rind

I have no idea where that came from... Was it in a song? An old saying? All I know is I heard it my whole life.

A little over a week ago we went "camping" in our recently purchased travel trailer. I'm telling you....that's the way to camp! A/C rocks! But anyway.....

Craig's dad and stepmom came up for the day and brought a watermelon. The boys were thrilled! It's one of their summertime favorites. And really...is there anything that screams summertime more than watermelon?? I think not, even though I'm not a huge fan of it myself. I still enjoy watching everyone else enjoy it.

Just see for yourself....



Can you taste the refreshment?



Sometimes even a little guy just needs a moment alone with his watermelon.



Ahhh!



Yummy!



This is the life!



Isn't this fun Grandpa?



Uh oh! You know what's coming right?



Yep! Seed spitting.



Precious Memories!

High School Sweethearts

Today marks 14 years of marriage to my High School Sweetheart.

It's hard to believe this photo was taken over 15 years ago!

I know that many people probably thought we were absolutely crazy to marry at such a young age (18 and 19). Although marrying young was once a common thing, it certainly wasn't in 1996. Maybe we were crazy, but I've come to believe that there is something very good to be said for getting married young. In just 4 more years, we will have been married as long as we were in our childhood homes. So really, we've grown into adulthood together. I think that's good...a comfortable place to be...

I'm so thankful for the years Craig and I have had together, and I look forward to many, many more!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CRAIG! I LOVE YOU!!!

Sweetness

So my previous post was a "taste" of something to come and yes, there are more watermelon photos coming, but today I want to take a detour for something else "sweet."

The following video is my 12 year old nephew, Gillan (pronounced like Dillon), singing 'I Will Rise' by Chris Tomlin. Many of you have probably already seen this posted on facebook, but if you haven't, here's another chance. I have never been more proud of him. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm not sure how to make it smaller so it doesn't cover my sidebar....oh well, guess that just means I'll need to post a lot so it will move on down. :)

Just a Taste

....of more to come!
