We kicked off the month of June after driving back from a great weekend in Memphis. \u00a0We went to Memphis to help my Mom with a few things and to spend time with my sister and her family. \u00a0Precious moments for sure! \u00a0My mom was in the process of selling her condo and we hit the jackpot with lots of great things! \u00a0One of the most fun things she gave us was all of her plants and flowers that she has worked so hard to grow over the years. \u00a0Instant upgrade on the landscaping and decorations at the Strange house! \u00a0Eli also scored a new big boy bed and we all picked up several fun things in her downsizing. \u00a0What a blast to enjoy these things and think of my Mom. \u00a0She\u2019s coming to visit in a few weeks\u2026pray with us that the flower and plants aren\u2019t dead by then!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n


June 5 we were so happy to host our Cedarcrest Lifegroup at the house. \u00a0We had several families and their kids over for dinner and just a time to hang out. \u00a0We lit the fire-it, played outside, and just enjoyed being together. \u00a0Our Lifegroup has been such a blessing to our family in this season! \u00a0We also continued to attend church online each Sunday. \u00a0We missed being together with our church family, but we will never forget the precious days of gathering in our living room to worship as a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


June continued to be different than usual as COVID-19 restrictions continued. \u00a0We have had a blast continuing several projects around our house. \u00a0Clint made some INCREDIBLE Adirondack chairs that all of our friends are raving over! \u00a0Emma has continued baking\u2026much to Eli\u2019s delight\u2026well, all of us love her baking! Eli and I had the privilege of doing lots of pressure washing. \u00a0It looks great and we had lots of fun doing it!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Clint and I went on a date night with some precious friends. \u00a0We hit up Mod Pizza for dinner and then shot guns at Governor\u2019s Gun Club. \u00a0At that point we were having such a great time, we decided to extend the fun and head over to Dairy Queen. \u00a0God has blessed us with this couple who have been such an encouragement and source of accountability over the last several years. \u00a0There is no greater gift to a marriage than dear friends in the same season of life who also desire to point their family to Jesus! <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Emma and Eli enjoyed a few days of soccer camp up at Lakepoint with one of Emma\u2019s school soccer coaches. \u00a0Emma and Eli also went to basketball camp at NCCS. \u00a0Eli went to Camp Eagle and enjoying \u201cnormal\u201d things like water day, snack time, and hanging out with friends. \u00a0We spent evenings in the park with friends and neighbors and played outside like we haven\u2019t done in years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


I had the privilege of heading up to Blue Ridge for a couple of days with the precious ladies from our Lifegroup. \u00a0We have gathered throughout the quarantine on Monday evenings\u2026first in camp chairs in the church parking lot\u2026and now for dinner at Pablano\u2019s. \u00a0These ladies are prayer warriors and dear sisters in Christ. \u00a0Our time away was so good for my soul!

The best part of the summer? \u00a0June 27 the Strange fam loaded up and headed to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a week away. \u00a0I didn\u2019t realize how much we needed it until the week was over. \u00a0We treasured every moment! \u00a0Here was my instagram post at the end of the week\u2026
GRATEFUL Special week away with the most precious people in my life. At dinner last night, @clintstrange32 and I agreed that this was one of the most unrushed and laid back vacations we can remember. We needed that!
Long walks. Alternating between the pool and beach. Bike rides. Morning walks. Evening walks. Ice cream everyday. Reading. Sunshine. Meeting new friends. Lots of great food. Most importantly, time together.
Thank you Lord for this time away to rest, reflect, and remember your goodness to our family. #7000days <\/p>\n\n\n\n
