My Birthday Weekend

We had a great weekend here in New Orleans. Ben's parents came down for his birthday bringing Riley and Owen back home to us from their visit with them. Ben, his parents and Cody did some fishing and we celebrated Ben's birthday with an evening on the town with Ben's parents and our friends Cody and Christina. We had dinner at VooDoo BBQ which is out of this world! Then we had reservations at the Melting Pot for dessert!!! It was tons of fun and a little crazy with toddlers...But everyone had a blast! CHOCOLATE DIPPED EVERYTHING!!! How much better can you get!!! This is from Tracy's facebook account..

I had a great birthday weekend, as most of you know, I have found my favorite spot here in New Orleans, being on the water. I have found a love for fishing down here, and also love the time spent with Garrett, we have had some great memories made already, I cannot wait to take the rest of the family.. I have really been struggling lately with the move to New Orleans, I love the friends we have and have made, I cannot see a fire truck without missing my guys at the station. For almost nine years, firefighting was my life. We were in the store today and some of the NO firefighters was in there shopping, it brought back so many memories, I never thought I would be on this side of the uniform. The awesome thing, our God is Sovreign, and I KNOW that He controlls all aspect of His elect. He has placed those innermost wants and desires inside of us for a reason, to GLORIFY HIM.. I cannot wait for August 13, the day classes start, I believe it will take my mind off of all the things that were life back home. I still havent heard anything from my job application with the Campus Police. Please be in prayer about that with me. Thank you to everyone who reads this and posts comments, it is such a blessing to read the comments and know that others are thinking about us and praying for my family. I love each and every one of you, and pray that the Lord blesses you and your family as much as He has blessed ours......SOLI DEO GLORIA!!!!!!
