Brookwood County Fair

After my baptism, the Finley crew stayed for a bit and we let the kids enjoy the carnival rides at the Brookwood County Fair! So much fun for them! 

Baptism

Sunday afternoon I received a believer's baptism at Brookwood Church. I am so grateful for my family and friends that attended this special time and for Nathan who was able to baptize me along with our Pastor Perry Duggar. Thank you to my family and friends for keeping me accountable, encouraging me in my faith, and coming along the journey as I seek to have a home and marriage that honors and glorifies God. 

Jeremiah 6:16:

 This is what the LORD says: 
       "Stand at the crossroads and look; 
       ask for the ancient paths, 
       ask where the good way is, and walk in it, 
       and you will find rest for your souls.

Alpha Delta Pi Convention

I have the honor and pleasure of serving as the Chapter Advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi Chapter at Clemson University. Last week I attended the 158th Grand Convention in Orlando, Florida. I am so proud of the women of our chapter not only for the outstanding awards they win, but also for the character of the women themselves and their continued commitment to serve in a leadership role within the chapter. Katie, Caroline, Morgan, and Sydney you are all wonderful women and I hope my girls grow up to be as smart, driven, and poised as each one of you! I had so much fun with you last week!

Harris Reunion

Some sweet pictures of us at the Harris Family Reunion. My middle name is Harris and this gathering makes me remember my sweet grandmother and the love she shared with all of her family. Camdyn loved the farm (especially the horses) at my second cousin Jan's house! Mom - the girls and I had fun sharing this day with you!

Candlelight Run 2009

Despite having a not so glorious run (to say the least) I did have fun with my fellow "hoodies" at the Candlelight 5K. Here are a few pics! I'm still waiting on a few from Kristi too to post!

Anniversary Night Out

Thank you Andie for taking these photos of us before heading out for a kid free dinner on Friday night! The girls had a sleepover at Pop-Pop and Nan's (thank you too!!!) and we went out to dinner and enjoyed some time just us!

Our 10th Anniversary!

This is a painting my sweet neighborhood friend, Brooke, painted for me to give to Nathan!

It is the colors of our bedroom and will hang over our bed.
Nathan's present to me was to have my ring reset in white gold and I LOVE IT!!!!

Today Nathan and I celebrate 10 years of marriage!! We praise God for the blessing of each other and the work he has done in our marriage. I am thankful beyond words for the forgiveness, love, and companionship that Nathan demonstrates to me each day. I really cannot imagine my life without him. I love you babe! Here's to the next decade!!!!
