The Girls of Button Creek Cabin (Part II)

Meet Taylor and Bree
They're cute, right?





This is Taylor.
 She just graduated and is legit awesome. She has been following the Lord for a long while and is a constant encouragement to me. I became her leader two months before she graduated high school and she was already a Christian, so her and I have already established a friend relationship, rather than a leader-student relationship, if you know what I mean.  She was just so awesome this past week at camp! She stepped up and played a vital role during cabin time, she loved the heck out of these younger girls, and she ALWAYS had a positive attitude. I thank God so much that He has blessed me with a friend like her.  I am so glad that she is going to NKU in the fall and is interested in leading! God has great things in store for her future!




And this is Bree.
She's a babe, right? Bree just finished her freshmen year at Lloyd. Unfortunately, she is moving and next year she is going to Grant County High School. I am super super sad because I frickin' love Bree. We clicked from the very beginning. She can't drive yet, but she is still going to try to come around as much as she can next year. Anywho, Bree committed her life to Christ back in the fall, at weekend camp. But honestly, over the past few months, some of Bree's actions have caused me to question her relationship with Christ. But Bree and I got to talk A LOT while we were at Rockbridge and we had some legit conversations. I realized that this girl truly does love Jesus a whole lot. She just stumbles sometimes, like we all do. This past week made things more real for her. She wants to dive much deeper in her relationship with Christ and wants things to become a lot more personal. I am so thankful for Bree's kind heart and can't wait to see how her relationship with God continues to develop!

New Year

A new year has begun and I feel like all the good bloggers post about the new year. They either look back on big moments in the past year or look forward to upcoming events in the new one. I sat in front of my computer for a long time trying to think of something worthy of a new years post. And I can't really come up with anything. I'm not really a big new year person. To me, nothing really changes except that I'll spend the next four months writing 201 4 5. Which is so annoying. I've made the same new year's resolution for the past three or so years. It's to floss everyday. And I already know that I'm going to fail. I know this because it's the third consecutive year that I've made this same resolution. I want to floss. I enjoy the thought of myself flossing every day. And I hate the condescending look my dentist gives me when my gums start bleeding the millisecond after the floss hits them. I just never actually do it. It's hard for me to l...

How we paid off our debt in ONE YEAR!

Image
You guys... we paid off ALL our school debt.  This whole thing started last January. We were at the Young Life 75 conference in Florida and Dave Ramsey spoke. He was hilarious and wise and I instantly fell in love with him. He gave us all a free copy of his book. I thought that was nice but unnecessary for us. We already "budgeted" and had a (looooong) plan to pay off our debt. But it turns out that Dan needed something to read on the airplane home. By the time we landed in Ohio, Dan had figured out that if we followed this plan, we could have all our student loans, which were our only debt, paid off in 14 months! This sounded a little crazy to me but Dan was sold, so we gave it a try and whataya know... 13 months later and we're already debt free! Here's a picture from that trip last year where we heard Dave Ramsey... and went to Harry Potter World!!! Here's how we did it: Preface: None of these are our original ideas. ZERO. We literally just did exac...

We're moving... again!

For the past two months we've been renting a house. It's a great house. It's huge and is the perfect location and has a lot of character. Though, there are some down sides to it. It's very old so the pipes froze a lot in the winter. The walls are plaster, not dry wall, so there are lots of big and unsightly holes. Our backyard is a muddy mess. Stuff like that. But overall, I like our house a lot. Unfortunately we have had a few disagreements with our landlord. After a miscommunication in Mid-February she offered that we could break our lease with no penalties if we wanted to move out. At first, the idea was daunting. We had literally JUST unpacked our last box and hung up our final piece of artwork on the wall. We couldn't imagine packing everything back up again, transporting it, then unpacking again. But we had signed a two year lease and just weren't sure if we could stomach another two years of living in this property. So we started looking around, just...
