Decisions~

One of my favorite poems has been going through my mind lately. It's the poem by Robert Frost that talks about two different paths and taking the path which is less traveled. This poem has made me think alot about the past and also about what is yet to come. I have had to learn the hard way many times about the effects that decisions can have on our lives. I am realizing more and more that the decisions made today do not just effect us, but they also effect generations to come.
My husband and I have already started praying that if God lets us become parents, that He will help us make right decisions as an example for our children, but also that our children will make right decisions and follow God no matter what.
I hope that when I die my family can look at my life & see the difference it is to take the "path" that is not always popular or that maybe not everyone is taking, but the "path" where God leads. My hope is that I am and will be an example to those around me!

Vacation~

Since we will be moving to Indiana soon & since we really have not been on a vacation for quite some time, we decided to take a few days & go to Branson. Jonathan & I had wanted to go to Branson for our honeymoon, but it ended up that we were not able to go anywhere, so we decided to go now while we have the chance. :) It was really neat being able to show Jonathan places that I had been to many times since I was a little girl.
Jonathan was also able to go on his first rollercoaster ride ever! :) It was SO funny seeing his expression the first time! He ended up going on just about every ride at Silver Dollar City, even the ones that I am too chicken to go on.

Waterfall near where we ate lunch on the first day.

Watching the glass blowers make a vase or something like that.

One of the rides Jonathan went on.

The Swing ride that Jonathan went on. I wouldn't dare get on this thing. :)

Another of the rollercoasters.

This is a little out of order, but this is the Swing ride they went on. Basically it does what it sounds like it does...swings back and forth & it goes fairly high in the air.

Most of the pictures here are from my sister Brooke.
