About Us

We are a family of four and a half- Seth, Bethany, Blevin and Caleb and another little man on the way. Seth is on staff with Campus Outreach and I (Bethany) stay at home with the boys and sometimes sell Usborne books and am making some attempt to homeschool. Blevin is almost five and is the compassionate (most of the time) Transformer and super hero loving boy. Caleb is almost three and keeps me on my toes- there is never a dull moment with him around!!

30 is the new 20!!!

So...I am officially 30!!!!! It is so crazy- I don't feel any different, but it is weird that I am no longer in my twenties!!! And my sweet Seth did such a sweet-fun suprise for me!!! Yesterday after lunch he came in and told me I had ten minutes to pack for one night!! he did not tell me where i was going or with who- but I picked up my friend mary ann and we went to my parents lake house and when I got there several of my really good friends were there to suprise me. Not only had he gotten my friends there- but he had thought for EVERYTHING -our dinner- mexican and my favorite chips and salsa from our favorite mexican place-margaritas!!- snacks- had traci bring me my favorite panera bagels- had a cake for me- had all of them think through our favorite memories and one thing to encourage me with and then we just talked and talked and talked and then watched a movie and then this morning we sat at the breakfast table for three hours and talked more!! This morning I got my gift from seth and the best was he wrote a list of 30 things he loved about me and it made me laugh and cry!! So- I feel so loved and am so thankful for all the blessings the Lord has given me!!
