Sometimes I overthink this blog to the point where I am in danger of missing the joy that it brings me to reflect on what God has done and is doing in the midst of our family. \u00a0August was a blast! \u00a0It was fast and furious with the beginning of school and all that brings\u2026but it was so good!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Emma started 1st grade at North Cobb Christian School. \u00a0Her teacher is the absolute sweetest\u2026Mrs. Beverly. \u00a0I\u2019m so grateful for the way the Lord has continued to bring Lynn Beverly\u2019s path across mine in the last several years. \u00a0During the time I served as Middle School Principal at NCCS, Lynn was our middle school counselor. \u00a0She is one of the godliest ladies I know and I am so pumped about her investing in my girl all year!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eli was pretty excited about the start of the school year also. \u00a0He knows that he only has one more year before he can come to NCCS with his big sister. \u00a0Look out K3\u2026the countdown has begun for our big guy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the funniest moments of August happened on the front porch one afternoon. \u00a0We had come in from swimming and Clint decided he should cut Eli\u2019s hair. \u00a0We\u2019ve been doing it all summer and it has worked out great..and much cheaper! \u00a0Emma came racing in to the kitchen to tell me that Daddy needed me right away on the porch. \u00a0I walked out to find that the guard had fallen off the clippers and Eli\u2019s hair was missing a huge chunk out of the back. \u00a0Clint looked mortified and Eli was laughing. \u00a0I couldn\u2019t help but laugh too\u2026what can you do? \u00a0We just shaved it right off and Eli loved being bald for a few weeks! His curls are back in full force\u2026and we love that too!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Emma was so excited to have Clint come and play his banjo in chapel one Tuesday along with some of the other Lower School teachers. \u00a0She always gets to see me at school\u2026but it\u2019s a special treat to get to have Daddy on campus! \u00a0We went to the Pigs and Peaches BBQ festival for the first time and had a blast supporting our friend Nate Clark. \u00a0His BBQ is awesome! I\u2019m from Memphis\u2026I know about these things!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clint and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary on August 23. \u00a0He deserves a lifetime achievement award for putting up with me that long! \u00a0God definitely knew exactly what I\u2019d need when he sent Clint into my life on November 18, 2001. \u00a0When we said \u201cI Do\u201d on August 23, 2003\u2026I thought that I really loved him. \u00a0But\u202612 years later, I love him more than I ever thought I had the capacity to love anyone else. \u00a0Emma, Eli, and I are so incredibly blessed to have Clint as the leader of our family and our protector and provider\u2026and all around fun guy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We enjoyed lots of meals with friends and some good ole jam sessions in the kitchen in August. \u00a0We look forward to a really awesome school year!<\/div>\n
