Saying our goodbyes to our Church

 Today marked the last Sunday we will have the in Church we have called home. We will be moving to the Eaglepoint campus starting next week and on to the journey of building our new, combined, Church in the next couple of years!

It was so bittersweet today but excited about the future. Sad but excited!

I look forward to the changes to come but know that the 'old' Church will forever hold a place in my heart!

The last Sunday service held all our most favorite songs, testimonies, some baptisms and then we ate as a Church together!

It was a great ending!

It was a beautiful service! I am not sure how the new services and new Church scenarios are going to go but I can tell you, it wont be like today ever again.

After lunch...saying our goodbyes.

We shall see what this building will look like in the next couple of years once JSU gets finished with re-doing it once it becomes in their hands next week!

Friday night lights again! With Screaming Eagles this time!

 Love it...this time again!

Here we go!

Wreck the rednecks!

I found my screaming Eagle. Literally screaming!................for me to not take a picture. Literally. Shake my head.

This one got JHS confused with JSU and said Fear the Beak when I spotted him! CRACKED me up!

They were all SO excited and SO loud! Oh my goodness I had to walk away from that area because they hurt my ears!

The guys!

The cheerleaders did this famous tik tok and the crowd joined in!

When I moved away from the loudness...I spotted her again! :)

So cute!


My Eagles ready for the lights!

Such a great game against the Valley Cubs! BIG WIN!

Doing her most favorite thing!

Her shining!

Soccer is baaack! and Spirit on the Mountain singer!

 Two fun things happened for Lily last night!

Soccer is baccckkk!!

and she sang at Spirit on the Mountain!

She wanted to sing, last minute, so Tyler rushed her up there and then rushed her to soccer practice but she made both and had a giant cotton candy along the way!

She enjoyed this so much that she had blue sticky on her face from her ear to the other.......and had to get up there and sing with it like that too!

She sang her heart out!

Then on to soccer! She is excited about her team and season because she has moved up to 12u and will be playing other teams besides Jacksonville! Stay tuned!

Lex and I were at the big volleyball games between Oxford so we missed out on this fun but Lily told me all about it! Alexis got to go with all of her friends after the games to the Ryan Hurd concert so she was super pumped...especially since it was with her friends...and on a school night!....and not to mention how famous he is and how cute too! :)

The rest of the weekend!

 I know it is just Saturday afternoon...but thought I would do 'the rest of the weekend' though we dont have much on the agenda and I am soaking that up as this is our last weekend before our classes begin, etc, and my face is stuck in books and papers and just YUCK stuff! ha!

Lily is loving that Callie is coming over in the mornings now. We started that back this year and Alexis is loving being with Carli and Mr. Ryan!

These two were ready for Friday!

Game time....and Kona Ice too!

We enjoyed dinner with the Rays and the Messers before the game and then enjoyed all the family coming to support Alexis at her first Varsity game!

Lily had a spend the night party planned for after the game and she was super pumped! I got this picture sent to me!

We were up bright and early and Tyler was ready for some pickle ball! I was ready too but I let them play more! We were back before Alexis was even awake really too! ha! He is loving this sport! We are going to have our face in books starting Wednesday....so he made the most of this morning!

Her Freshman year first Varsity Friday night lights!

 OOHHH...we have been waiting for this night for months now!

Friday night lights are my favorite!

Alexis was SO excited! So ready! A little nervous! Just ready to do some football!

It was a beautiful night and we came away with a big first win against Boaz!

The stands were packed, the crowd was loud and the team was on fire!

Cant wait for the rest of the season!

The Freshman at their first pep rally in the gym! They have not been able to have pep rallies due to COVID so everyone was super pumped about finally having them back!

Who's your daddy was the theme and the students really loved it! Seeing what all everyone had on was hilarious! 

Here comes the band!

And the boys!

Great pep rally!

Cheerleaders doing their thing!

We were on the wrong side for this but still got to see their cute dance!

Go Alexis!

Got a front view!

Spirit chant!

Freshman won! I may or may not have been helping them yell! ha!

Won the spirit paddle!

They had a great first pep rally!

Here we GO!

My Freshman cheerleader!

Doing her thing!

Under those lights!

With Jack! Great WIN!

All the 'Fall' things!

 I know it isnt Fall yet...

I do know that....

but I dont care...

once school starts and all of our fun Summer things come to an end...

I am in Fall mode and I just cant help it!

I love all the Fall things. Football. The feeling in the air. Soccer. Cheer. Football. Football. Football. Did I say football?! Pumpkins. Pumpkins. Did I say pumpkins?! Candle scents. The leaves changing. School starting back and the excitement of it before the 'real' of it sets in. I literally could go on and on!

So, I am in Fall mode.

And.I.love.it.

BUT...this is me! bahaha!

Just beautiful! We supported the JSU soccer team at the first game of the season. It was such an amazing evening! The weather was just beautiful. The breeze. There was an actual Fall feeling. It was so nice!

Chatting and watching!

And this crew came to watch too!

Friday my work family kicked off 'Fall' with a potluck. IT WAS SO good! We coordinated what to bring and had the best lunch together to kick off classes beginning this week. All the crazy busy begins this week so we celebrated our last week of 'Summer!'
