Happy Birthday Stephanie

Happy birthday to my cousin Stephanie Lauren Bailey! I want to tell you a little bit about how much she means to me. Stephanie is a very beautiful person inside and out. I love how she is always smiling no matter what the situation. She is a very bubbly and happy person and is almost always laughing. She knows how to lighten up a crowd and get a party started.
Stephanie, Brooke (her sister), Adrianne (my sister), and myself were inseparable when we were growing up. We called ourselves the “Bailey girls”. One of my many memories I have of all of us is when Stephanie and I wanted to give Brooke a birthday party. And so we baked a cake and got some icing that you could decorate with and headed out to the little trailer house (we spent many hours in that trailer just playing whatever) and we all decorated the cake and then Stephanie got the brilliant idea to decorate our faced with the icing. We had a lot of fun doing that and then when it came to clean it all off our faces, we didn’t realize that it stains skin… So we had icing stains on our faces but it was all good because we made that night unforgettable. We made memories that night that we will never forget.

That is another thing about Stephanie, you are always guaranteed to have a good time and make a great memory with her. She reminds me a lot of our Papaw. He was a wonderful Godly man. Papaw always would bring the best out in people. We all miss him very much, but we get to see glimpses of him in Stephanie. Everyone I know, that knows Stephanie loves her. And I love her very, very much!!

I could go on and on about how much she means to me but for the sake of time I won’t.

Stephanie - Happy birthday girl! I hope that your day is special! I love you!

Our House

I will post more pictures as we get the other rooms done.

Life with the Greenhill's...

Where to start? Well for those of you that don’t know, Brock and I bought a house in March. It is in Bethany on ½ acre lot and the house is 1550 square feet. It is one that’s needs to be up dated from 1970’s/80’s. It is a work in progress but it is coming along quite nicely if I do say so myself. Brock and I both have enjoyed putting our own little touch in it. Brock has done all the work himself with me helping where I can. I am so proud of him! He does a great job. We have completed the guest bedroom, living room, office, and master bathroom. All we lack is the master bedroom, kitchen, and guest bathroom. We work on it as we have time. And we don’t get much of that anymore with Brock being the youth pastor at our church and him and me both still in school. But we take what we can get. The Lord has and is still truly blessings us.

This summer has been the busiest summer we have ever had in our entire life! We have something every week. We were ready for the school year to start again so that life could slow down a little. It has slowed down a lot and we are thankful for the “free” time we get every once in a while.

School is going well for Brock. Hopefully he will be done in December, but we aren’t sure about that yet. So be praying! I have three more semesters left before I can apply for nursing school.

Brock is doing well in his position as youth pastor. The students are starting to respond to Brock and give him some feedback. We both know that this is where the Lord has us for this time in our life and we would still like to be in the mission field overseas eventually. We are in a mission field in and of itself with being in youth ministries. Please pray for us!

I am still working at Reaching Souls International. I have been there for two years now and plan to be there until the Lord leads me somewhere else.

Brock and I both still love being married after one full year of marriage and love each other more than ever! Well that is all I have for now. I will try and post some pictures of the house soon.

Blessings!
