Thanksgiving 2015

We headed east for Thanksgiving and spent some really sweet quality time with family and a lot of time on the farm!

Let me summarize in pictures...

Jayden expressing his excitement in getting a break from the long road trip!

LOTS of time bonding with Pa

 

...lots of combine rides picking beans!

 

...lawn mower rides with MEMA (who was supposed to be called grandma but Jayden renamed her)

 

lots of eating :)

*Deer DOWN*

Rance's LOVES in this life are first and foremost, the Lord, ME, Jayden, serving others, making disciples, and the list goes on BUT, he does have a couple of LOVES and PASSIONS that he does not get to do often, one of which is HUNTING (the other being fly fishing).  The Lord blessed Rance with being able to go fly fishing ONCE in 2015 and go on a really fun deer hunt with our good friend, Steve!  I wish I could tell the story of this deer hunt but just know that it was a super fun one with both Rance and Steve shooting this deer, on the last day of hunting season in Graham county! 

 

In order to get this deer, they had to get Steve's boat for assistance haha!  Rance came to the house to grab Jayden so that he could be a part of the fun and go on his first boat ride.

 

 

Thankful for deer meat in our freezer, Praise the Lord!

5 year ANNIVERSARY!

November 20, 2015, Rance and I celebrated 5 abundant years of marriage.  We thoroughly enjoyed a morning together by the lake, with a campfire, our Bibles, a cup of coffee, and an eagerness to JUST BE and reflect back on this last year together.  It was a sweet time together & with the Lord!

 

The morning ended with lunch at The Hub!

 

 

Quality time together, just the two of us, is rare but thoroughly enjoyed and such a gift when it does happen!
