The Boomerang Express...

We've been pretty busy and it all pretty much started last week! Last Sunday, we had a huge spaghetti luncheon at the church for the youth group- that was fun but took a lot of preperation. We also spent the day before that at the church building sets for the Boomerang Express Vacation Bible School theme... and on top of that, Lawrence preached a joint sermon on Sunday morning with Pastor Chris!

It was a long weekend- but that was just the beginning. On Sunday, after the luncheon, we stayed at the church to begin putting up the sets for VBS- then about 5pm we jumped in the car and headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for family vacation with Lawrence's side of the family. We had a great time in Myrtle (we stayed in the same hotel that we stayed in on our honeymoon last year!) but we didnt get a lot of alone time because Lawrence's brothers went with us almost everywhere- but that was ok...nice to spend some time with them. We did get one night together and went to Broadway at the Beach and watched fireworks and walked around in the shops.

We headed back home on Wednesday afternoon with Lawrence's brothers Dustin & Daniel and Dustin's girlfriend Kristin. We went straight to church for a crazy youth group meeting and then dropped Kristin off at home (after taking Dustin to apply for a job at Cookout and Smithfields!)

Dustin and Daniel stayed with us until Monday morning and we put them to work. The VBS stuff still needed a lot of work, so we were there all day Friday and Saturday- we didnt get home Saturday until after 11!... but it was all done for Sunday morning!

Heather left to work a camp at Campbell on Sunday and will be gone until Thursday- spending the night! She has to miss the VBS festivities this week- but it's ok! Lawrence on the other hand, will be hanging out with the 3rd-5th graders! It's gonna be craziness!

Caswell is two weeks away!!!!!!! We are both really excited.... look for more blog posts about the summer... we want to keep everyone up to date... haha... those who actually read this...!

New House & Summer Plans!!!

So we got moved... and we LOVE the new place... especially the fact that it has WINDOWS! Maggie has adjusted well and we just love being here. Heather wants to get into gardening a bit- since we have somewhat of a yard to work with- I love going to the Home Depot- so its a win-win situation! ;)

This summer is going to be a busy one for us! We've got our 1 year anniversary coming up in a week- we are really excited. No big trip or anything this year, which is sad, but we're going to the beach with my family later, so that will have to do for this year. I found out last night that we are staying in the same hotel that we stayed in for our honeymoon. It will be nice to go back- though it def. will not be the same.

We've also got VBS- Heather and I are in charge of decorating for it... that is going to be craziness. Then Caswell- which we both look really forward to every year- especially this one! Heather is getting a summer job to pay for a conference she wants to go to--- that should be lots of fun for her! :) Im going to be working in my office at the church a lot more- getting stuff done now while I have the time.

We'll keep everyone posted as things happen. Hope that you are doing well!

WE ARE MOVING!!!!

Yep, we have decided to move. We're not going far- actually just right down the road. Its a much nicer NEIGHBORHOOD(it will be nice to live in one of those)AND we get our own driveway and back patio! On top of that, we have lots of light (what will we do with windows in our living room?), higher ceilings, a fireplace, an extra bedroom, a yard and new appliances! Sure we'll have to pay a bit more- but its safer and that is great. They allow us to have Maggie and the landlord is really cool!

We sign the lease this Friday so we can start moving everything but the lease won't go into effect until April 1.

I know it will be sad to leave our first house behind, but we are moving somewhere nicer and safer.

PICS TO COME! ;)
