For our spring break, we took a trip to Panama City Beach with the Hodges' family. Anna's family owns a condo at Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort, so we bunked with them for the week. If you are looking for a place to stay in Panama City Beach, I definitely recommend Edgewater. They have several ...
Marriage Matters
This weekend, Justin and I had the opportunity to attend the Ignite Marriage Conference at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham. COH has several campuses, and our tickets were for the Grant's Mill location. We went down early on Friday to look at a few house things and then we all met up for ...
Disney Family Vacay, Part 2
We started day four of our Disney vacation with a character breakfast at Hollywood & Vine, inside Hollywood Studios. We were the first family of the day, so we were the only ones (that day!) to get a group picture with all four characters. They gave us a "First Family" certificate and ...
Disney Family Vacay, Part 1
Our Disney trip was so much fun and I want to make sure to tell you all about it. There is just so much stuff that I decided to break it up into two separate posts, but each part is still pretty lengthy. So grab a cup of coffee, prop your feet up, and enjoy part 1 of our Disney vacation ...
That Time I Met Jen Hatmaker
Last weekend, Lisa and I drove down to Birmingham to a women's conference at Shades Mountain Baptist Church. The theme was For Such A Time As This and the speaker was my favorite, Jen Hatmaker. (Jen is the author of Seven, Interrupted, and the eagerly anticipated For the Love.) PS: I took ...
Smoky Mountain Adventures, Part 2
To be honest, I was a little skeptical about Gatlinburg for Spring Break. I have always thought of it as more of a fall/winter destination. I wasn't quite sure what there would be to do in the Spring, but boy was I wrong. We were go-go-go the entire trip! After the first days' petting zoo ...
Smoky Mountain Adventures, Part 1
For Spring Break, our family took a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I mean, our WHOLE family took a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Our 5, my parents 5, my grandparents, and my aunt and cousin. Whew, what a crew! We all stayed in a chalet on the mountain. Libby wanted to buy it, so we ...

Memorial Day Beach Trip
Over the long Memorial Day weekend, we went down to the beach to hang out with Justin's family. His sister, her husband, and their sweet baby boy drove over from Arkansas. His parents drove down, too. We spent most of our time stealing sweet baby snuggles. The girls turned ...
Orlando Vacation, Part 2–The One Where We Meet Anna & Elsa
Our original vacation plans only included 3 days at Universal Studios. It really hurt my heart that were were going to be SO close to Disney and not see Anna and Elsa, who just happen to be our favorite. If you've ever been to Disney though, you know that going for only a day is much ...

The Inn at Christmas Place
Last weekend we went on yet another getaway. I know, we're rivaling the Kardashians, right? Only, I'm pretty sure they don't do their own laundry.... Anyways, we traveled to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with a few of my teacher friends and their kids. Quite a cute crew, am I right? We stayed at the ...
