From Greenville to St. Simons...

I've had such a blessed couple of weeks getting to feel like I'm on vacation, and this is during school mind you-- it's been great!
Last weekend I accompanied Matthew to one of my favorite little cities-- Greenville, SC. It's just 2 hours from Atlanta, and we were only there for the day, but we couldn't stop talking about how it felt like we were on vacation. He had his local long drive qualifier-- which he WON, with a 400 yard drive and a brand new driver he'd never used! Crazy!  He goes to Regionals in Greensboro, NC later next month, and if he qualifies there, it's off to Mesquite again for the World Championship!
Well, the rest of the day was spent in the quaint town of Greenville. We saw a great movie-- Knight and Day (I was pleasantly surprise- it was hysterical!)-- visited my favorite coffee shop- Underground Coffee, had a great southern gourmet meal, and then stopped back by Underground Coffee before heading back to the ATL.
Then this past weekend we headed to down St. Simons with his brother, Kevin, to visit his family for the 4th of July. Matthew's mom fed us like kings everyday, we enjoyed some much needed relaxation and got some sun on the beach.  It was wonderful! Oh and I have to mention how awesome I was at this game of rolling a golf ball into a hole of sand. I beat Matthew 3 times! It was awesome!



                                  
Matthew wanted to beat me just once--but the CubBuster was too good!












Me with the Leggett Ladies. Gotta love um!



Matthew with his mom ready for the fireworks.




I didn't quite make this one, but we got to see the fireworks on the beach! This picture doesn't do the hour long show justice.






Welp...  only a week and a half left of summer classes, I can do it! Happy belated 4th!

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
