GOTCHA!!!



I've never been happier to wake up at 4am!  Yes, I do it daily but today it had REAL purpose!

I met the Mays and we headed to pick up the boys!

Saw his cabin sign!  No sign of his stuff BUT come to find out, he shoved everything in his trunk and made sure he didn't lose anything.  So proud!!


then we walked and finally I saw him.  I didn't want to be THAT mom... so I just casually peaked and I heard "Mom, MOM!!!!!!!!!!" I'd know that voice anywhere... and he waved me over so duh, of course, I went!

Big hugs, lots of kisses and man alive as I looked around I saw some tired kids! LOL

Before the fun began, he ran into Allie and her parents. He just loves her so much - they've been good friends for years.  He was able to give her the gift her bought her before camp.  He's got the biggest heart!!



But then it was time for closing celebrations.

The counselors flew in and there was screaming, jumping, singing... it was AWESOME

(yes, I cried)


Then the Director (yes the one that jumped our car) got up and did the recap and the "sell" for next year.  Oh yes, we WILL be back!


So thankful for the college kids that give up there ENTIRE summer to come and lead these kids!  I pray Tristan has a heart for this someday!




(Taylor loves her some Tristan)


BFF's.. so thankful they did their first camp TOGETHER!


Listening... man, I missed that face!


each counselor then spoke a blessing over each of the kiddos and told us the main character trait they noticed...

G got Faithful...mature... and polite (sounds like G!)

T got Optimistic, relaxed and joyful (sounds like T!!)



We finally got a group photo of the Grace (and now a few TCA) families that went...

These women got me through this week!!




Well, that's a wrap. It's time to head home and see Baylor...

Are you excited Tr....

hahahahaha - OUT!


The nap paid off and my happy boy is reunited with his girl (and his x-box dang it!)



And after looking through his trunk... I think he knows we love him...



Thank you Lord for providing financially so I could send Tristan.  These camps are SUCH blessings.  I'm SO thankful he could go. May the truth he heard move from his head, to his heart.  AMEN.

My boy is back, he's happy, I'm happy.  It is well with my soul!!

Mom/Son trip for 2020 and 2021 combined... look out Fredericksburg, here we come!

Image
Well, I booked this trip for Spring Break of 2020 and Covid had other plans. I moved THREE time and prayed this weekend would stick - AND IT DID!!  We drove a long 5 hours to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's wine country but that's the last thing we had on our minds! I swear - I found this out AFTER I booked the house! look closer... and I was only looking for this! We only got in once for about 10 minutes... it was hot AND there were SO many bugs! We headed to dinner. It was HOT and we both had on bad shoes... the mile walk to and from Tubby's (gross food BTW) was not worth it.  LOL But then we say that we lived a few doors down from a jail. Very cool all the history in this German town!! I told Tristan it was a "YES WEEKEND" and I would say yes to anything he asked (within reason) and he made the most of it! I said "no" to something he asked for and he didn't miss a beat... he stopped and said "What mom?  I couldn't hear you?" That face... u...

Day 7 and 8

Image
Well, the first two pics are from a very hard Day 7 I sat here... and bawled.  Tristan and I had choice words about his eating. Well, not eating.  His snacking.  It didn't go well.  I'll leave it at that.  I sat here.  Bawling.  Crying out to God to save us. To heal our land.  I told Him all of the things I CANNOT do.  Well not in my own strength.  I told Him all of the places I NEED to move out of.  All of the insecurities I have. All the things I have fought SO hard for that I'm fearful He is asking me to just forget about. I'm scared of His "NO". I'm scared that I'm being corrected or chastised for all of the decisions I've made until now. That I've just messed it all up.  But then, I remember that I'm just not that powerful. God has shown up for me in so many ways, so many times, and I can't forget that. I can't be like all of God's people who wandered in the desert 40 years... and then in their freedom, they w...
