Hello There!
I'm trying to get better about posting more often...
We'll see how I do. I've included some pictures of our 4th of July day at Santa Barbara. Renelle, Coley, Jamie, Brice and I spent the day in BEA-Utiful Santa Barbara. We had so much fun. I've been trying to get my family to come for years, as this is Brice and my 6th year of the tradition! We really enjoyed relaxing and hanging out down there...and not to mention awesome fireworks. Sadly, the music started skipping in the middle of the fireworks presentation, so they stopped in the middle. But, it was all still worth it for sure. We are all so lucky and blessed to live in such a wonderful country in which we can worship our Lord freely, and have so many unnecessary blessings daily.
Thank you Lord! We enjoyed each other's company, rented a surrey-style bike, had a picnic, laughed, played volleyball, and even met up with our good friends: The Lively's!
Aside from the 4th, Brice and I are doing pretty well...all things considered. We have much to be thankful about, and are trying to stay focused on the truth that God desires good for us, and that He knows our future. With our recent miscarriage, God has really given us comfort in our time of pain. HE has also allowed us to grow together in ways we wouldn't have if it didn't happen. So, thank you Lord for this trial, as it causes us to learn more about your character and the love we are so blessed to share. Thank you also for those that have also loved and cared for us during this trial. We love you all! :)
