November 1 |\u00a0Special night\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0celebrating our Senior Football players, Cheerleaders, Pep Band members, and Mountain Bikers. Awesome group of young men and women!\u00a0#SoProud<\/a>#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 2 |\u00a0We had a great time this afternoon cheering on Eli\u2019s 8U Strikers in their end of season tournament. They played 4 back to back games and the last one went to double overtime and it ended in a tie. Due to the fact that the other team had more points over the course of the season…they were the champs and we ended runner up. So proud of these guys! Strikers…way to go!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>#10IsMyFavorite<\/a>@ymca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 4 |\u00a0Grateful for a night\u00a0@pcc_thegrove<\/a>\u00a0being reminded of the truth of God\u2019s word. Fear is a liar. Worship is our weapon to pierce the darkness. Victory comes in and through Christ alone! \u201cBy day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me\u2014 a prayer to the God of my life.\u201d Psalms\u202c \u202d42:8\u202c \u202dNIV\u202c\u202c <\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 5 |\u00a0What a privilege to enjoy this beautiful day cheering on Emma, her doubles partner, and the rest of our\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0Middle School tennis team. These kids are growing and learning so much! Thank you Coach Swank!\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

November 15 |\u00a0ELEVEN | Happy Birthday to my precious Emma! You are a gift from the Lord and a joy in so many ways. The Lord truly blessed our family when He gave us our sweet girl. She is a wonderful daughter, sister, friend, teammate, and helper in so many ways. She loves celebrating others and is learning a lot this year about being a good teammate and friend. I\u2019m so proud of this girl and grateful that the Lord chose me to be her Mom. Happy Birthday Emma! I love you!\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 15 |\u00a0I L\u2764\ufe0fVE\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0Football Fridays! Big win at home tonight to advance in the state playoffs. Super proud of our guys. Even more proud to be a part of a school family that lingers in the wet and cold night just because we enjoy hanging out together. This is a special place. Let\u2019s never forget that.\u00a0#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 18 |\u00a018 Years ago today I met\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0for the first time and my life has truly never been the same. I\u2019m so grateful for the group of friends who felt the Lord leading them to introduce us. Ever since then, I\u2019ve only had eyes for him. God\u2019s goodness and grace towards me through Clint is nothing short of miraculous in so many different ways. He loves and leads me and our kids so well and aims to point to Jesus in everything he does. I love you Clint Strange! <\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 19 |\u00a0Today was the last match of our\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0Middle School Tennis season. Emma has so much fun learning a new sport and making new friends. Coach Swank is so encouraging and the kids had a great time this season. Emma is already begging me to sign her up for a league in the spring. What a treat to watch our kids try new things!\u00a0#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a>#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 23 |\u00a0Family Time. What a gift!\u00a0Emma discovered Uncle Kevin and Aunt Marina\u2019s old typewriter and has begun composing her memoirs. Eli and Cousin Amelia are committed to keeping her company during the process and will be doing the marketing for the upcoming book release. #StrangeThanksgiving2019<\/a>#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 24 |\u00a0Great morning of worship visiting\u00a0@nationalcommunitychurch<\/a>\u00a0at the Potomac Yard Location. We enjoyed the\u00a0#Peacemakers<\/a>\u00a0series with\u00a0@MarkBatterson<\/a>. The message today came from John 4.
1. Check your ego (right v righteous)
2. Identify least common denominators
3. Let your conscience be your guide
4. Don\u2019t be dogmatic about disputable matters (Romans 14:1,22)
5. Love people when they least expect it
Love= Grace + Truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 25 |\u00a0Air and Space Museum.Museum of the Bible.Dinner out…just the adults\u00a0@virtuefeedgrain<\/a>Solid day in our Nation\u2019s Capital.#7000days<\/a>#StrangeThanksgiving19<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

November 26 |\u00a0What a beautiful day for making memories! Our day started with an evacuation on Capitol Hill due to a rogue aircraft in White House airspace. Fortunately that cleared up in time for our tour of the Capitol. After a great Capitol visit, we visited the Library of Congress, walked by The Supreme Court, and had lunch at Union Station. Then we walked down the National Mall to the Museum of American History and then rode scooters to The Washington Monument. From there we walked past The Reflecting Pool just in time to watch the President fly by in Marine One as we walked to The Lincoln Memorial and then over to Arlington to catch the Metro back to the hotel. 21,137 steps…10.2 miles full of memories, laughter, and precious family time. So grateful for this time together!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>#StrangeThanksgiving2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 27 |\u00a0Today was dedicated to relaxing and spending time together. Sleeping in. Walking to lunch and to swim at the Y. Coffee on the walk back. Leisurely shopping for the girls. More baking. Thanksgiving food prep. Gingerbread house decorating. Lots of laughs and snuggles!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>#StrangeThanksgiving2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 28 |\u00a0Happy Thanksgiving! We exercised all morning so that we can eat all afternoon! So much to be THANKFUL for!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>\u00a0Alexandria Turkey Trot 5 Miler <\/p>\n\n\n\n


November 28 |\u00a0After a great Thanksgiving meal, this girl was ready for an adventure. We found a super fun way to tour Old Town Alexandria. I sure do love my adventuring sidekick!\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
