Haven celebrated her 14th birthday this week with a fabulous party. Tucker’s math tutor, Mrs. Betzhold, and her husband, Steve, started a new business called “Driveway In.” They brought over a huge movie screen, set it up in our backyard and showed “The Sandlot” to a group of over 70 teenagers! It was so much fun. We even had a snack bar with plenty of popcorn, licorice, Tootsie pops, candy bars and Airheads.
Tomorrow, Haven will be competing in her first speech meet. I am so proud of the speech that she wrote that I just had to share it with you.

I really should be packing right now. Clancy and I must leave at 4:30 in the morning to fly to Florida where we will hop on the Girl’s Getaway Cruise where I will be speaking. (I will take lots of pictures and tell you all about it next week.)
Actually, even more than packing, I should be working on the latest edit for my “Taking Care of the ME in Mommy” book. I have three more chapters and all of the “Rest Stops” to tidy up so I can send it to the publisher tonight.
I got a bit sidetracked. I was working on the chapter for Working Moms (I know all moms work, don’t send me an email.) I was asking the Lord for some direction from His Word regarding this particular chapter and I felt Him whisper to my spirit to look at Proverbs 31. I don’t know why, but I just always had the Proverbs 31 woman in the “Stay At Home Mom” box. As I read this very familiar passage from this fresh perspective it was fun to see that she was very definitely a homemaker but she certainly was also a working woman.

I’ve decided to write every night when we return to the hotel after our days of touring. This holy pilgrimage for our family is too much of a blessing to chance forgetting even one moment. (Which I am apt to do if I don’t write it down.) Experiencing something memorable is always more fun when you can share it with someone. So…join me and my family as we take this journey together.
