Hey, Family!

I'm home! Wow, I can't believe so much has happened in a week! Dee Dee, Lynn, Kay...Big HUGS to you! You are on my heart and in my prayers. Florida was great...no rain all week. Of course, the steps to the beach were washed away from the hurricane, but where there's a will, there's a way. Becky jumping a caution fence/board is not a pretty sight, but it can be done. My nieces who are actually 14 and 12 were great. On this trip I realized that I say "I love you" a little too much...to the cute Eastern European sushi chef who gave Macy a souffle for her birthday (He made her give me a bite...my hero!) and to the awesome Alabama State Patrol Officer who did not give me a ticket...just two warnings. I really did not realize I did it...the "love you" part or the speeding. Hmmmmm!!!! Okay, I was not a very good witness with the speeding, but the girls did see the power of prayer in action. I definitely was more aware of the speed limit on the rest of my journey. We were really afraid for a while since two more patrol cars drove up while the FINE office wrote my warnings. (I think the fact that his wife is a teacher may have helped.) The girls also learned what "I'm going to take you out" really means...bicyclists in Seaside need to MOVE off of the road! There should be a limit on the number of bikes that can cross in front of you at once. Finally, Macy and Maddie learned that cool people CAN have a JC Penney's card and shop at department stores...oh the horror! Ramble over...I missed you all! Love (really), Becky

Hugs to you, Sandra!!! Your weight loss ALREADY is great!!! Way to go!!! Love ya! Becky

What a neat sounding vacation! Can you believe I have been here 4 years and have yet to get my butt to Florida? I think you lit a spark! Now that I don't feel THAT self conscious in my swim suit as I used too

Hey, Girl!!! When I see the water, my self-consciousness goes out the window. Well, sort of. I move quickly as I go in or out of the water, and I turn faster than a pancake. The turn can be scary. Your pool definitely has lit a spark for me too. Yay for you!!! Hugs, Becky

Missed ya woman ~ What can one say? Glad you had time to rest and relax. Didn't go to the get together but, will after the August one, hopefully. I prayed for your safety, coming and a going and for time with hubby since you aren't able to spend as much "snuggle" time with him because of his schooling. Again, missy glad you are home, where you belong ....... except its sweet home Georgia..... He He He..... I loves ya dear sweet gal and you were so surely missed. es to you Crece

Hey, Sweet Sister!!! We definitely felt the Lord's hand on the journey. We travelled through the storm on the way down...took eight and a half hours (usually six) to get there. This was my first time to drive to this beach, so I kept stopping to check my directions. We also almost ran out of gas on I-10. It was great to see DH and son (plus four "other" sons). Thanks for the prayers about DH and snuggle time. Gregg needs extra strength right now with his internship project due this week, closing on his grandma's house, and fixing up our house. I know your prayers help! We both will be doing some major painting this week! I am REALLY hoping to meet you in August. That would be great! I am keeping you in my prayers! Love!!!! Becky

Hey, Dear Tonya!!! It was great to see the photos from the June get-together. You and James look soooooooooooo happy!!! How are you feeling??? I can't wait til the wedding!!! You are gorgeous, Girlie, and James is even more handsome now! You know, I'm also looking forward to meeting your little man! Hugs, Becky

Welcome home, sounds like you had a great trip, I've been wondering how you were doing on your venture. Glad you had a great time. Melissa

Hey, Melissa, I know I had fun. Watching the girls interact brought back some fond memories of growing up! They would rant, pick at each other, giggle, and snuggle. It was a blessing to be with them! Hugs, Becky
