Inspired by a friend!

After my latest girls night p this past Monday, my friend inspired me to reorganize my boys clothing. Lets just say, after Jax was born it all got a little messy! :) So, last night I started at 9pm, stayed up til 4pm, and finished up this afternoon. Their room looks amazing! There are about 10 boxes and 4 large bags in the storage room of newborn to 6 months and 18 months. One box has bags and my breast friend pillow. In their room I have 1 box of 24 months/2T, 3 boxes of 12 months, and 2 boxes of 6-9 months. I also have 2 drawers of 3T. This obviously does not include their dresser full of summer clothes. It was so much fun going through the clothes and remembering Bradley in them and Jax in some of them. I also decided to make each of them quilts from som of their shirts and blankets. I am so thankful to have a friend with an almost 4 year old, who gave me a lot of little baby clothes. It helps so much. I am also thankful for the friend that inspired the organization. I love doing that kind of stuff, its just hard to get ,ofi aged to do it in my free time. She is an amazing woman!

So today, my man and I took our boys to a park that my besties and I grew up going to. It was so fun to remember all the fun we had as kids. I am so thankful that we were able to spend most of our summers with each other. Memories are so wonderful!
For the past few days my hubby has been working on our missions trip video from this past June. Its so fun to remember this 7 days in the Bahamas. It was so beautiful and so fun. It was great to see the teens out soul winning. Many were able to lead at least one Bahimian person to the Lord. We went door knocking in the ghetto everyday. We were able to spend at least an hour or two at the beach most afternoons. The water was very calm and so clear and so pretty. The kids at the VBS we did were so sweet and so appreciative of the smallest things. We were blessed in so many areas. We were able to go snorkling. I will admit that I was terrified but after delaying the process of jumping off and into the water, I did and it was one of the best experiences I have ever, well, experienced. The fish were so cool and so was the coral. My snorkeling buddy was my hubby which made the experience that much better. I did another thing that was totally out of my shell... I climbed to the roof of the boat and jumped in without my life jacket. It was so much fun the first time, I did it again. It was cool and it made me feel cool! Listening to all the teens talk on the video makes me miss seeing most of them on a daily basis. I am so thankful God called us to work with teenqers.

Well! I'm tired so I think I'm gonna call it a night! Love to my besties! Goodnight New York!
