The quaint little town of Bedford.



7 girls. 6 cameras. Sleepover, photo shoot, coffee shop.




On the right, Nikon. On the left, Canon. Although our camera choice may vary...
we still love each other! :)



Meet the ladies from this photoshoot.Here is all of us.Here is me. Here is Michelle. She's such a lovely woman. She lost her father about 5 or 6 years ago. I don't mean to put this label upon her. I simply mean to say how wonderful it is that God can take a father away, and be the Father Himself, making wonderful women like this, despite absence of a earthly father. That's God. She is a great photographer. In this picture she is capturing a squeal in a tree, she was SO delighted. I didn't take time to put on the pictures she took of the squall, but they were so adorable. !:)She has a dry sense of humor. She has a aqua blue room, so pretty. She's Michelle. Here is Janelle. She makes me laugh so much. When she gets excited about something , she makes sweet high-pitched words come froth. So funny. Honestly, just makes you happy hearing it! :) Now, she doesn't sound like a mouse or anything, just like Janelle! :) She is my Nikon buddy. She has the camera just bigger then mine and a great lens!. Her uncle traveled with New Creation and now leads worship at our church. She is gets giggly when it gets late. :) She's Janelle.Meet Brenda. She too has no earthly father. She's the youngest of her sisters (I think. :)) She's almost an aunt. Two of her sisters married brothers who also had no earthly father. Her personality: Phlegmatic. She speaks straight-forward ( in moderation). I enjoy seeing the differences in all these different ladies. And still they are such great friends! They all call her Bren. I think nicknames are so special. It often shows a sweet closeness to a friend. Brenda is her name though, and God has called her by name, as His daughter.Meet Twila. She is the only girl out of Seven brothers. She has no earthly father. I know what your thinking, this is the third one in the group! I don't mean to introduce them as that or put a pity party sign above them. I am simply saying this because God has chosen to take away their fathers as a special part of the beautiful story God is writing for them. She likes to laugh. She talks FAST! :) Her two brothers are married to Brenda's two sisters. Twila, (Twilight) the part of the day when the sun is the most beautiful. I know God has a plan for her to bring beautiful light into the lives of others! Rose. The sweetest of flowers. She's Twila's cousin. She comes from the Nebraskan Mennonites. She forgot her camera! Bless her heart! :) She has a sweet, tender, giving heart. She is the one who hosted the slumber party. She make us wonderful breakfast wraps in the morning. I enjoy listening to her talk, it's not really slow, just relaxed. :) In a good way. She precious. And she has the sweet smell of a rose.The phtotshoot. Thanks to Mance for taking allot of these pix for us!
These are not all of the pictures. But you simply have to stop some where! :) These pictures were taken by all the girls in the pictures. So lots of photo credits to them! I had such a great time with them ! They were wonderful kindred spirits in my life! I thank God for these very special ladies!

Breakdown, Ohio.

We were about two hours from home. It was around 9:30 10:00p.m. Mom came up to the front of the motor home and was trying to explain the strange noises coming from the back bedroom. Just then Dad saw the turbo gage drop. Then he looked in his mirror and saw blue smoke pouring from the back of the motor home. We pulled of to a gas station quickly. A man was so willing to come at a late hour to help us figure out the problem. But we couldn't fix anything until morning. That was ok though. It was Friday night and we didn't have a service 'till Sunday morning. So we spend a cozy evening in the motor home. Dad had some worries when he was unable to find a the part through phone. But the next morning we were able to find one. So while the motor home was being towed, everyone except for dad hung out at Arby's 'till some friends who lived about an hour away picked us up to spend the day with them while the motor home was being fixed! We had a good time at our friends house. Coffee, friends. We then got picked up by the now-fixed motor home at around 9:00 p.m on Saturday night. We traveled all the way to Holmes County and arrived at around 2:00 A.M. Dad and the boys then went in at 2:00 a.m. to sent up the sound system on a very, very early Sunday morning. Bless their hearts! :) We then began Sunday to Wednesday revival meetings at Christan Life in Beach City Ohio. We had a wonderful time! God is good and faithful!


Hanging out at Arby's



Amazing what you can find to do when you are stuck at Arby's for an hour! :)





I think I can be safe to say this is the first time I had my devotions at Arby's! lol
~Marks of Holmes County~















We had a lovely breakfast at my aunts house.

My mom and her two younger sisters.


Me and Derek were honored to be invited to go with the Gospel Heaven High School to see the Cleveland Orchestra!
Gracie set up her monkey as the song leader! :)
One morning me and two of my dearest friends to such a wonderful place called Wall House!


We were discussing 1 Cor. 1 1 the night before and in the morning as well! They are such an encouragement to me! :) We go through so many battles together, and I know they are there to fight them with me! And when I am searching, they are there to search with me!
~Women's conference~
We were able to take in the first women's conference in Holmes County Ohio. The theme was "Joy for the journey." It was so good to be there! I was able to sing some of my favorite songs with some two very dear friends, hear my mom speak, experience the wonderful 500 calorie cheesecake, and chocolate fountain, dress up like I was from the Red Hat Society, be a business lady in a skit, and take in the wonderful speakers! And the decorations, wow, some ladies did a WONDERFUL job! Here's just a few pix!
A lady named Jeni put this together! To see more of the things she does you can go to baileyandme2.com.



The table had black chalk paint on it! So cool!




The suitcases symbolize "Joy for the journey!" I think that's so nifty! :) This suitcase was one of the ladies suitcase that her family used to use to go traveling! :)A few years later, a wonderful antique and decoration! :)





Sunday afternoon tea!



Grace and Cloe!
I had such a wonderful time with you ladies!






We desire very much to be as chaste as Rebbecca when she covered her face with a vail! :)

~Resting in His love.
