Wednesday's Walk - More S'mores Please!

One of my favorite summer time treats is sitting around the camp fire making S'mores! We were able to do that a few times this summer. I also enjoy the time spent with family and the mishaps that always happen while making this sweet creations. Mishaps like marshmallows catching on fire, marshmallows falling on the ground or in the fire and marshmallows stickyness all over cute faces.

So pull up a chair, get nice and warm, put a marshmallow on a stick, and join us for a S'more!

This is one of my favorite summer images in Ludington, MI. I love seeing my family enjoying each other, laughing, watching the sunset and of course eating S'mores.

Here is my aunt and my cousin's daughter with her extremely burnt marshmallow. Hahahaha Those usually end up in the fire or being eaten by the rare person who likes them that burnt. LOL Hahahaha it looks like a piece of charcoal on a stick.

Here is my sisters "Mega S'more" (as we called it)! It was your not so typical S'more. It had your graham cracker but it also had peanut butter, blue berries, bananas and chocolate in the middle of one of those giant marshmallows roasted perfectly. It was rather ridiculous, you couldn't eat the crazy thing. It was just too "Mega Good"!

Here we are at my dear friend's (Jenilee) home around their fire pit roasting marshmallows. I am so thankful for these precious moments and memories with good friends.
This is his yummy in my tummy try to smile, smile! LOL

Wednesday's Walk - 15 years of Love

Today, John and I will be celebrating 15 years of marriage. I am amazed how much I love that man more and more everyday.

I started dating John when I was 16 years old....yes we are high school sweet hearts.

The very first thing that he ever said to me, was when I was 15 years old, he came up to me at the school pop machines and said, "Will you marry me?" I thought he was crazy!!!! I said, "NO WAY!" Who knew?!

You can go read our story here....John & Me!

Wednesday's Walk - The Peace Patrol

"Hello, My name is Sam Saint, Super Sleuth!" said Dick Gruber a child's evangelist about 27 years at my christian schools chapel. For the next half hour, I listen to him intently as he shared the gospel in a very creative detective kind of way. I loved every second of his presentation and remember a lot about it to this day. Out of all the children's Pastors/ Evangelist I have ever heard hands down he was my favorite. My hubby thinks he heard him when He was a kid too.

Yesterday, my kids went to came home from kids camp and couldn't stop talking about the speaker. There two favorite things at camp Go-Karts and the service. I later found out...Sam Saint Super Sleuth was there. I nearly cried, because the very same man who spoke into my heart so many years ago had now spoke into the lives of my girls.

So, thank you Sam Saint, Super Sleuth....thank you.

"I am living for him faithfully in the Peace Patrol with my partner the Holy Spirit" and I will ....
GET JOY!
