Weekend in Myrtle Beach


We got back last night from our weekend getaway to Myrtle Beach.  It was WONDERFUL!  So glad that we live close enough to the ocean for a weekend getaway.  

The girls LOVED the ocean, jumping waves and discovering shells as well as little crabs.  Josh & I enjoyed relaxing on the beach, sipping our yummy "beach" drinks, reading & watching our girls have fun.  

We really like Dunes Village (our second time staying here) and highly recommend it!  Lots to do for families, kids activities, right on the beach and spacious rooms (even had a full kitchen).  

We decided this is a great time to go too; discounted rooms, not as busy as summer in MB, yet still sunny & warm - even the ocean.

Special Assembly Day

Yesterday was our Special Assembly Day at the Salisbury Assembly Hall.  It is a beautiful, comfortable building, designed for our needs.  We met our new District Overseer and his wife and were encouraged and built up.  Always just what we need!  

We were so proud of Josh fulfilling his duties as chairman for the day.  He did a great job!!

Here are some pictures from our day:

Abby wrote this during the session.  She asked me
how to spell a couple of words, but she came
up with it all on her own.

I think things aren't perfect, but Jehovah will do things
perfect and we will live perfect when Jehovah gives us
paradise.
