The Jimenez Family


If these walls could talk...they would tell of seven years of memories...baby squeals and children laughing...of days spent exploring and learning...of countless youth coming in and out...of dear friends sharing meals and fellowship...of homeschool parties, birthday parties, and just for fun parties...of believers gathering for prayer and worship...of a birth of a ministry and several books written...of friendships born and flourishing...of neighbors sharing in laughter...of a faithful God who constantly sustained us and surrounded us with His sweet blessings!!  


This was our second time with the house on the market.
Tons of showings...we had a few each day for four months.
We received a FULL price offer the first day we listed it...only to have it fall through.
It was definitely a four month emotional roller coaster...highs and lows.
Finding the "perfect" house...only to have it sell before we could make an offer.


But it was four months of reminding ourselves that God has a plan.
He knows what He is doing.
It is beyond what we could ask or imagine.
And His timing is perfect.
On the very day we agreed to take the house off the market...we received an offer.
That left us searching for a new home.



This cute house in Mint Hill was at the top of the list.
We made an offer...they accepted...and then we found out all that had transpired on their end while we had been in our four months of waiting.
What a story it has been...of God's faithfulness to us...of His blessings...of how connected the body is.
We are so thankful for this next chapter of our lives...and for all the memories that will be made in this new house!
Mint Hill here comes the Mexicans!!


What do you want to do for your birthday?

I never know what to say to that question.
Jason usually tries to come up with something that sounds appealing...
a massage...
a day alone in a quiet house (that sounds bad but when you homeschool...)
shopping and a movie...
a picnic and hiking?!
That was it. 
Totally it.



We drove a couple hours away to a cool state park - Hanging Rock.
It had tons of different trails and water falls all over.





We hiked to two different waterfalls.









 Thankfully, it wasn't too hot that day...but hot enough to make those waterfalls look super inviting!









Hiking back to the van we made a UNANIMOUS decision to head to the lake..which was also a part of the state park.



The little kids swam at the lake front while Jason took the big kids out on a row boat.



It was such a fun day making memories and just hanging out together!
The best birthday present...being with family and making memories!!



That night, Jason treated me to my favorite restaurant and a date night to see Ben Hur!
What a perfect birthday!!!



Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.
