Gatlinberg Fun!!!

We went to Gatlinberg, TN this weekend on a marriage retreat with about 15 other couples. It was a BLAST!!! We discussed the foundation, dedication and then the application of our marriage. Jeremy was the one that facilitated the discussion and God really spoke through him. I have such and AMAZING man that I get to call husband. I am so blessed.

Jiles missed us but had a great time with Nana and Papaw. He went to the Little River Days and saw rabbits, goats, and played on bouncers and slides. His favorite part was the crazy train he got to ride. He kept asking me on the phone while we were away if I saw any bears so I brought one back for him to sleep with. He hasn't let it go since then. I will put some pictures of his graduation as well as the retreat pics as soon as I get home today!!

Jiles is a BIG BOY NOW!!!! We have offically graduated from Preschool at Heritage Christian Academy. He was there for 2 years and has learned so much. I can't believe next year he will be in Kindergarten and will go to school with me. Time flies so fast and he is getting so big. Jiles is the funniest and sweetiest little boy, but I know I might show a little favortism.

I couldn't help but think about our baby this weekend out there that could be getting ready to meet us for the first time soon. Being on the balcony looking over at God's creation made me think about the creation of life and how precious it is. I can't wait for a phone call from Waverly or if we find a birthmother on our own. I know God has a plan and I can't wait to see it unfold. I know if we wait on his glory our reward will be magnificent. Until then, Mark 11:24 :)
