Unmotivated...

For whatever reason, I have not been real motivated to blog lately. Maybe it's the weather. It has been rainy and gloomy for the past several days. But things are beginning to look a little brighter outdoors today.

Labor Day weekend, our little family headed to Arkansas for the Carroll family Olympics. It is tradition that my side of the family gets together every Labor Day for the 3 day weekend. In the years past the boys have played golf and last year the winner even got a golf trophy. Dad thought it would be a good idea to include the girls in the friendly competition so this year we had the Olympics. We had so much fun, but unfortunately we didn't bring home the coveted "Big Hoot" trophy. I forgot my camera but you can see pictures of the weekend here.

Last weekend, my church had a women's retreat. My mom and dad came down so Mom could come with me to the retreat and dad could spend time with Wes and Bri. Sharon Better's was the speaker and she talked about ways to encourage our sister's in Christ that are going through very dark times. It was a very encouraging time and was a huge blessing to be able to experience it with my mom.

Thank you so much, Mom, for coming! It meant so much to me!

Dad needed a little nap to re-energize from his weekend of babysitting!
