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

Photo Hunters - Theme "Original"

Posted in Photo Hunters

This theme for Photo Hunters was kind of difficult to come up with a picture for. I spent most of yesterday and today thinking. Finally I came up with an idea. I sat down with Ron's computer and started looking through Ron's photo files and noticed the file for our pictures from our trip to Washington DC a few years ago. BINGO!! That city is FULL of originals. So, here are a just a few. I narrowed it down to the U.S. Capitol, The White House and then one that you wouldn't expect to see. I'll save that one for last. Enjoy the pictures!

Of course, here is the picture of The White House. While it isn't particularly the first home of our First President but it is the Original White House. This was taken through the fence on Pennsylvania Ave.

This is a picture of the Capitol. It was taken from The National Mall.

Here is an up close picture of the Capitol.

Now for the unique picture of something original.

Here is the sign that explains what this is:

How's that for "original"? Cool, huh?

Your photos are so wonderful. I love the close up of the Capitol. The chess set is not just unique, very historical too.

Thanks for sharing your photos. Have a great weekend!

That is so neat (even tho it is ivory)! Did you take that in the white house? They wouldn't let me take anything in the tour except an inhaler!
