July has been busy...

I can't believe the whole month of July has gone by! Where has the summer gone to?
Well here is a recap of the month:

July 4th weekend:
We spent the weekend camping, outside at Smith Lake with Robby's family. I would describe the weekend as: adventurous, hot, new experiences!

ATL Shopping was next with Meredith and Claire. Let's just say we visited every store at Lenox and they were glad we came!

Next was, Volunteering at the Highland Community 2nd Chance Resource Center . This summer our women's group at CrossPointe has had Celebration activities going on and this event has impacted me the most. This is a homeless ministry in Columbus that is doing great work for the kingdom! I totally could not get myself together when I first got there. All I could think about was how blessed I was that I could go to ATL and shop in stores, meanwhile there are people in my community who don't own cars, we have to go shop in shelter's for clothes that have been worn. Needless to say God really spoke to my heart, confirming more and more that this life is not about me but about HIS Glory and HIS Plans!
Thank you Lord for your grace in my life!

A much needed Spa Day at Sunday's was next! If you know me then you know I am a sucker for spa's. The one in Columbus is good but the best one I have ever been to is the Qua Spa at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! If you ever visit Vegas, this is the place to go; check out their web site!

The big 10 year high school reunion was next! Can't believe it's been 10 years since I graduated from high school. It seems like yesterday I got my driver's license and was dancing on the football field with the Pantherettes (high school dance team)! It was great to catch up with everyone and I really enjoyed seeing old faces.

20 Something’s pool party! This is one of our groups at CrossPointe that Robby and I have a good time being involved with! Every time our group gets together it's always a good time. Jamie Rosa hosted us at his pool and cooked some great food! By the way ladies, he is single!!

Ellasyn Claire was born! I can't believe this day came; my best friend from college had her first baby. It seems like yesterday we were eating lunch at Saga or hanging out at the sorority house but 5 years later, we are both married and she has the most adorable little one! Congratulations to Lynsey and Blake on their new baby girl!

Towards the end of the month we went Scalloping in Port St. Joe! Okay new adventure for Robby and I but we had a great time. We went scalloping with our friends Jamie and Claire and their dog McCoy (Sammy would not have liked this trip, we spent the whole day in the water and it does not like water at all)! We caught enough scallop’s for Claire to make a yummy dinner the following day. We hope to make this a yearly tradition!

The last event for July is the best one of all. After pinching pennies for 16 months we have finally debt free! We owe nothing to no one (well except our mortgage)!! I can't tell you how freeing it is to be debt free! Shout out to the Counts' family and Dave Ramsey for encouraging us along the way!!
I'll post pictures soon!
