Memorial Day

Just wanted to share a few things from Memorial Day weekend before I forget!

On Sunday after church, a few families from church invited me to go boating with them by the river. One of the families has a private dock that is right across from Nicholas Sparks' house!

This is the back of his beautiful home 

It was a beautiful day out. We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. Everyone had a lot of fun jet skiing, wake boarding, water skiing, laying out, and tubing! One of my AWANA kids took me out on his jet ski. There was a coast guard that was patrolling the river and while I was riding with him, he asked, "Ms. Nancy, are you 21 yet?" HA! I told him I love him for asking that.

I told Caleb that I would LOVE to someday buy a boat. =) Here I am in front of the Nicholas Sparks' home. 

I also wanted to share what Angel does when I get ready every morning. She sprawls out like this waiting for me while I'm in the bathroom doing my hair and make-up. She is such a sweetheart. 

This is after an intense work-out! She was so tired that she had to lay down to drink her water. 

I also wanted to share some pictures that Caleb emailed me. He took some pictures of what his room (called a can), looks like. He's really happy because he just recently got the room all to himself.  Here are the pictures he sent: 

I had a great Memorial Day weekend. Today, I went running with Angel in 85 degree weather and 73% humidity. It was wretched to say the least, but we got through it! When I got home, I was able to Skype with Caleb for a little bit before he had to head to bed. 

I am always so happy when we are able to talk =) 

Lastly, I made a video in tribute in honor of Memorial Day. Our church did a special Memorial Day service on Sunday and the worship team played some patriotic songs. I arranged a Ray Charles' inspired version of America the Beautiful. Here is the link to the video:  America the Beautiful by Nancy Gowan 

I just got back from a Women's Ministry meeting and I'm excited to be a part of the committee and  I'm looking forward to all the events that are coming up throughout the year! 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. 

Love you all,

Nancy
