Crazy Summer
This week has been crazy already. We have been hosting World Changers here in Owensboro. So everyday we have been feeding them lunch. It has been a true blessing but I think the people at Sam's will know my first name soon because I am in there everyday. Today was my last day to go to the work site with the group to feed the missionaries. Tomorrow I head to Washington, IN to Omish country with the senior adults. I will be their bus driver again but they feed me well and treat me like a king. You can't go wrong there. Last night we had a movie night with the youth. We watched College Road Trip and fired up the popcorn popper. I don't know what it is about those machines but it makes great popcorn.
Today when I came home I had to mow the lawn. Normally Monday is my mowing day but rain has pushed mowing back. So needless to say the lawn is taller than I would have liked it to be. I mow down almost as low as it goes because of the clover flowers. I am trying to prevent my little ones from getting stung by a bee. Well the combination tall yard, semi wet grass and low mowing had me stopping about every 10 mins to dump the grass catcher. It was a bit hot out there today. It felt like I sweat my own weight outside today. Finally the yard is looking good and I am showered and hydrated.
Now I sit here listening to Buffy talk on the phone with her sister. Buffy is pulling another Martha Stewart right now. Boys don't get flowers like girls do at plays. So Buffy is making Micah candy for the opening night of Annie Jr. Stay tuned I am sure she will blog about it soon.
Well I hope you all have a great one!

15 with Many More
"You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride. You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes,..." - Song of Solomon 4:9
15 years ago I thought I knew it all. I thought I had understood everything life had in store for me. As I waited for our wedding I had no doubt I was marring the woman of my dreams. I knew I loved her beyond anything that could be stated by mere words. I knew that God had placed her in my life and man was I blessed.
What I didn't know is that I could love her more and more. I didn't know that 15 years later we would have 4 blessings. I didn't know what our journey through marriage would look like.
As I sit here right now I still am at a loss for words. I came across this scripture today and it just spoke volumes where I couldn't. Buffy you have captured my heart. When we are apart my heart misses you. When we are together it skips a beat. I am blessed with a treasure that can not be measured in worth. It is priceless! You are my bride. Each day we travel down the isle of matrimony. Each day we say I do. Each day I look at you thinking I am the luckiest man alive. Once glace from you just makes me feel overjoyed.
So today happy anniversary. Thank you for making me the happiest man on earth. 15 years with many more ahead. I love you.

Back to Reids Orchard
Yesterday was basically an outdoors day. It was so nice outside we just had to enjoy the weather before it gets blazing hot. We all headed back out to Reids Orchard again. This place is booming with stuff almost all year. Right now they have U-pick cherries and strawberries so we decided to go get some. The kids loved it ...except for a brief moment of drama when someone mentioned snakes. LOL!
After picking our fruit we headed back to pay. At the little store they have all sorts of things to buy. Somehow we got roped into buying Apple Cider slushes that were way to expensive for the size. Anyway after petting goats, dodging a wasp and staring at roosters we headed home.
We all went for a bike ride on the Green Belt and then stopped at the park. Finally we headed back home and the kids played out front for a bit while Buffy began dinner. After dinner we had home made cherry cobbler (yum!) and watched our family movie.
It was a very relaxing day and the kids were wiped out. I am sure Buffy will write more details about this event but I just wanted to update you all. Have a good one!
