Vacationing on a Houseboat

  • Our 80 Foot Floating Adventure

we took our little boat out on the lake, he would talk about them. In some ways, he almost seemed OBSESSED.  He would say “That’s so awesome! We need to do that! Daddy lets do that one summer!”.  My brother was obsessed with the idea of vacationing on a houseboat.  My sister and I always thought that was the most redneck vacation option out there. Live on a floating TRAILER for a week?! No thank you! But Corey insisted that this would actually be FUN and that we should try something new one year and just DO IT! So we did. This past week my family and 10 other friends broke the mold for family vacation and tried something brand new.

  • Brandon + Lisa

The word used to describe this couple throughout their whole wedding day was “light”.  The priest at Brandon and Lisa’s ceremony shared with the congregation that by only meeting with this couples on a couple of occasions, he could tell that they were a couple full of LIGHT.

US Virgin Islands | St. Thomas and St. John

  • A Mini Vacation

Michael and I got away for a couple of days.  It was a short trip but it’s amazing how refreshing just two days can be when the only thing you have to do is explore a tropical island!  We arrived in St. Thomas on Thursday and stayed there for two nights. We decided to save some money and stay at the Emerald Isle Best Western instead of The Ritz ha! Like we would ever stay at The Ritz!).  The great thing about tropical islands is that it’s so beautiful, ANYWHERE is perfect! We loved it! We relaxed on the beach that evening and started talking about what we could do on Friday! Michael had his heart set on renting a SCOOTER!
