This is me... with my head hung down in shame...

Let me first begin with - I'm sorry. I have failed miserably to update the oh so many people who, I know, hold their breath until my next post. You can now breath easy :) JUST KIDDING!

Life has been good since my last post. We have finally become somewhat adjusted to life at the beach :) We are constantly on the go, but I have come to realize, that is who we are. We just prefer it, most of the time :) I am finally feeling as though we are settling into our new life here. It's not easy. I miss my sweet family and friends more than anything. I treasure every visit and conversation from you all! But God has blessed us with good friends here and daily I trust Him! Plus, I live 4 miles from the beach, let's not forget :)

The children's ministry has been booming and we are learning everyday of why God has us here. We have recently started a new curriculum for our Jr. Church and friend, it is awesome! If you have never heard of Kidmo, do some studying on it. It is amazing for 3-5 year olds AND our teachers love it! Another plus- I am starting to form a great connection with our older girls. That age is so crazy important to have a GOOD/GODLY influence in their lives. Trust me, it is well worth investing your time into them! Plus, you are super cool to them :) J/K- sorda :)

Also, since my last blog, we went on the most relaxing vacation EVER! We took a cruise to Progresso and Cozumel Mexico! BEE.U.TI.FUL! I loved that vacation and I am still mourning the fact that I can not have a ice cream cone whenever I please. Who do I need to talk to about this? No, really... :) Other than the fact that I ate like nobodies business (Three words...Melting Chocolate Cake) it meant more to me that I was able to spend a whole week with my family. It was great! We were able to dune buggy in Progresso together and drive our own speed boat in the amazing water in Cozumel! What great memories! I also loved the fact we had dinner together every night, like the old days... plus our great spouses! I am sad that it is over, but I know there will be more to come. I am going to TRY and post some pic's so you can be jealous :)

One last thing... definitely blog worthy. While on our glorious cruise Brandon and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary (07-30)! Three years!!! He is the best thing since slice bread and he pretty much rocks my socks! I love him with every inch of me and I am blessed to be his wife.

Well... that's pretty much all I have... The Olympics start today so I will be tuned into that until the closing ceremony :) I love the Olympics! Go USA!!!

Love,
Danielle

Danielle. I miss you.

You make me laugh/smile/cry reading your blog because it sounds just like you!

I have a confession. I'm jealous of your 4 mile drive to the beach. There I said it.

A beautiful vacation!!! Just what you and Brandon needed. I'm sure you had a glorious time in Cozumel...how can you go wrong with ice cream and chocolate?!?! I totally agree that there is absolutely NO reason why we can't have an ice cream cone close by. I will stand with you against the madness.

You and Brandon are adorable and I cannot believe you've been married for 3 years.
We were looking for a missing cd in Dr Perry's office last week and came across the cd from your wedding and I just sat there staring at it, remembering that chocolate fountain...Pam dancing...your dress...your parents dancing...Brandon wearing his shades with his tux...and I could go on.

Did I mention that I miss you?
