Enjoying a rest stop on the way to Colorado!
Wow! Life has been full these last few weeks (is that another term for busy?). While recently gathering in TN with numerous churches from our denomination for our annual Presbytery meeting, and travelling to minister to families in Kansas, Chicago, and Colorado, our family experienced many adventures and times of sweet fellowship with precious friends along the way.

While recently gathering in TN with numerous churches from our denomination for our annual Presbytery meeting, and travelling to minister to families in Kansas, Chicago, and Colorado, our family experienced many adventures and times of sweet fellowship with precious friends along the way.
The Monday after the CHEC conference, I had the privilege of sharing, at a ladies tea, the joy of being a truly "passionate" housewife. The tea was hosted by my friend, Tonya Chapa, and the ladies of Reformation Church in Colorado. It was a huge success. My friend, Heather Davis, also shared her journey through widowhood in a talk entitled, "Joy in the Mourning."
The food was delicious (and beautiful), the atmosphere lovely, the fellowship sweet, and the whole event God glorifying! Thanks, ladies, for allowing me to be a part of it!
Here are some photos of the beautifully decorated tables. You can really see the genuine heart and unique personalities that went into this event! CLICK HERE
In the meantime, you may have noticed that my blog has been somewhat neglected. Please know you have all been in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to have some posts for you soon. We're preparing for our own ladies tea here locally in Morton, IL next week, so things aren't calmed down completely yet!
Here are a few highlights from our recent adventures. Be back soon!

Visiting with some of the sweet Hectors (hmmm...as opposed to the not-so-sweet Hectors?) at our booth at the CHEC conference. They were such a wonderful help (and quite entertaining!).
We all miss them already!
Entering a "tornado warning" in Kansas. Scary!
I thought the cloud looked like a UFO!
Sharing a "Starbucks Moment"
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye...you get the picture.

Oh, I'm so glad you had a good time. I had planned to come to the CHEC conference, but alas life creeped up on me and there was no $$ available to go...
I was going to come to the ladies tea (per my previous comment) but I called on the RSVP deadline, and that event was already filled up.
: ( One of these days...either here or in Heaven I'll meet you guys. : )
sad... you were in TN and sooooo close! Next time you come thru stop by the farm for some chicken curry!
:)
It sounds like you had a blessed time of fellowship with both friends and family...I love the pict off of the back of the train...very Sound of Music-ish...
I am glad to see you are back...I have really been enjoying your blog!

Oooh! Those clouds do look scary!!
I'm envious though.... in another life stage I might be a storm chaser! I know.... how un-dainty of me!I grew up in Texas, what can I say? I love the thrill of the storm (and the chase!), unless, of course, it gets too close!
Glad you had a great time (and thankful the Lord kept you guys safe)!
We miss your precious family, Stacy. Please give them all a big hug from all the Howards back at home in TX!
Love,
Amy
Love the pictures in this post - especially the last "Sound of Music" one... Glad you had a great trip!
