Things That Make Me Smile

Seeing the kids reading their Bibles on their own
Hearing the ocean
Smelling a cake baking
Remembering our wedding day
Singing in the church choir
Shopping for my family
Feeling good
Reading in the tub
A quiet house
Watching a funny movie with the kids
Seeing my kids playing a game together
Ron's little finger dance
Hearing my kids being excited about church
Watching Ron play with Faith (our dog)
Hearing Ron snoring beside me after he has been gone on a long trip
Chatting with special friends
Feeling hot sand under my feet on a beach somewhere
Game night with Brian & Kim and kids
Spending one on one time with Kim
Double Dating With Brian and Kim
A clean house
Sitting on my front porch in my new rockers
Walking on a cool evening with my family
Losing weight
Seeing my kids make a great play on the soccer field

About The Hunters

My dear sweet hubby, Ron, and I have been married for 20+ years. We began dating during my freshman year at Free Will Baptist Bible College in Nashville. He is my college sweetheart. We have ministered together in various ministries during our lives together. We pastored for 10 years in Florida. We moved to TN in 2000 to Co-Pastor with some friends of ours. The Lord has given me a fabulous provider whom I love more than any words I write could ever express. He is now the CEO at our denomination's publishing company, Randall House Publications. I am honored to support him.

Our oldest child is named Michael. He is now officially a teenager, although I don't think I'm old enough to have a teenager. He is a very sweet and considerate young man. He is my thinker and my reader. He absorbs every piece of new information that he comes across. He loves playing soccer, riding his bike, skateboarding, reading, watching the History Channel, the Military Channel, ESPN and any documentary on TV. I am privileged to be his Mother.

Lauren is our youngest child. She is just 15 months behind her brother in age. She is wise beyond her years. She has a sharp-witted tongue (which sometimes has to be tamed), a quick sense of humor and a heart for people and animals. She loves organizing anything and everything. She loves being with her friends, singing, talking on her cell phone and playing soccer. I am blessed to be her Mother.

Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier. - Kathleen Norris

Show & Tell - Wedding Rings

Posted in Show & Tell

I haven't shared something for Show & Tell for a couple of weeks now because I haven't been able to think of something to share. So, this morning I was looking at other people's blogs to see what they had shared when an idea popped in my head - my wedding rings!!! I love my rings and haven't shared them with everyone - so there you go - my Show & Tell for this week!

I love my rings for a few reasons. The first being because they are my wedding rings, of course! The second being because they are made with my MIL's diamonds from her set of rings from when she and my FIL were married. And thirdly, because Ron designed them and had them made.

When Ron asked me to marry him in February 1987 he handed me this beautiful engagement ring that sparkled.

After he asked me to marry him he told me that he had asked his dad for his mom's wedding set. (They divorced when Ron was a teenager) He designed the wedding set himself and found a jeweler to make it using the diamonds from his mom's wedding set. I am so honored to have had the diamonds "passed down" to me. Here are a few pictures.

(Please excuse my swollen fat hand - I hate my hands!!)

The wedding band fits inside the engagement ring. Isn't that creative?

This is my favorite picture because the diamonds are sparkling so beautifully.

what a neat thing for your husband to do. They are beautiful. My daughter's husband designed her engagement ring also--with her birthstone and diamonds. The engagement ring I recieved was made of diamonds that my husbands grandfather got paid with during the great depression!1

I love how the wedding ring fits inside the engagement ring! He did a beautiful job. And it's so meaningful that they diamonds were passed down from family.
