Still No Internet

Yep still no Internet here at the new place. As soon as it is up I will be back. I have a lot to say. Lol!

Tap, tap, tap is this thing on?

Just wondering if I still have followers out there? ;) I am writing a couple of posts right now about life and our baby girl. She needs an update b/c she is doing lots of new things.

We Are Moving: The Debt Curse

Yep you heard that right we are moving. We have decided to rent a house for a while, sell this one, and just pay off debt. Yes we are cutting our house payment and just going to save. Mark and I in the past haven't made the wisest financial decisions and we have tried to make some and then we get to a point of being OK and make stupid decisions again. Well we are tired of that life. We are now going to just pay off debt (hospital bills mainly) and save, save, save. The great thing is we really don't have a ton of debt but the debt we do have bugs us thankfully that was b/c of wise decisions and accountability from before. It could be a whole lot worse. If we plug away at it we can have it paid off in a year hopefully.

So what are we going to do to make sure we stay on track this time? Yes we are going to ask some friends to join is in Dave Ramsey's class. Then we are going to continue to meet with these friends, we have learned it is a lot easier to be disciplined when you have people marching along side with you.

If you feel led say a prayer for us that we can get this house sold quick and move forward in our plans to be debt free, give money away, and save.

Because She is So Darn Cute!

She had her hair up in a "spout" with a bow all day. We took it out and she looked like a little rooster. We couldn't resist taking her picture and she knows she is cute. Can you tell?

Elkmont 2010: Camping

Every year for the past 3 years and from here on out we go as a family to Elkmont, TN. This has been the best year so far. We had such a great time with our family and friends. About 20 - 30 families from our church go up there for this fun filled weekend. I would love to share some (OK a lot) pictures with you.

This is our campsite.


The kids love tubing there. This is the oldest and one of her friends riding down the river.


This was my first year getting to walk part of Cades Cove. A lot people bike ride the whole thing. We just walked a small portion.





Enjoy the few I put up. I will post more later.

I will be back

I haven't forgotten about my blog. I have been so busy homeschooling, trying to get used to our new schedule, and life in general. I have lots of pictures I want to share with you and will be back hopefully today or tomorrow to post pictures.
