texas or virginia

-

Growing up in Virginia i know what its like to experience seasons. To know what a beautiful mountain range looks like and experience the Beach all within a 1 -3 mile radius from my home. I still am not really sure why Texans are so proud of themselves and this state but its home anyhow. There are many things i miss about back east...mainly family but the rest is the land and its beauty. The southern hospitality and cooking!

Sometimes i come across things in Texas that remind me of things in Virginia. I was driving to walmart the other day and pulled up behind this really cool old beat up truck. Upon further inspection i saw that the guy inside was wearing a camo hat and suit...it just brought me back to good ol Farmville. Now this is a site for sore eyes :)

There are moments when I want to pack up and move somewhere new and totally different than good ol' VA. :) I do love VA, and know I would miss it if I was to move. Sometimes Billy and I do get the itch to move somewhere different. I love all the things you mentioned though, how we have beach, mountains, forests, seasons...so much diversity right here. It's so pretty. My dad is from TX, and just like you said...those Texans have some kind of state pride. They are hardcore. My dad would move back there in a second if he could.

We love Texas and often miss it. I do love the seasons, nature, and the fact that my fam lives in VA. I'd take the food, pro sports, and entertainment at TX over VA any day of the week.

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
