Family time is the best time....

This week was very enjoyable for me because Marcos and I got to spend quality time with both of our families... My big brother Billy from Arizona (Whoa that makes him sound like a hillbilly beast)was in town with his girlfriend, and for those of you who know me--you know there's nothing better to me than spending time with all three of my brothers at one time! (Except for spending time with my wonderful husband of course;) I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon of posting pictures of us at the pumpkin patch BUT since I have married Marcos, Fall has become just about my favorite season (he sure rubs off on me!) So I have been lovin' the harvest festivities.

My mom says I'm getting to be an old lady because all of the sudden I'm lighting "Mom's Apple Pie" candles in our apartment, baking pumpkin pies, and on the weekends I look forward to cuddling up to my hubby on the couch and watching movies all day.... Ahhh what is happening to me? Just kidding. I absolutely love being married, what can I say? I married Marcos Clark... what a once in a lifetime opportunity;) Here are some pics of family time this past week...

Of course I saved the best picture for last.... Our nephew Broc was the cutest lil' monkey!

It's worth a shot....

Fan of the Man or not... this was a good quote so I thought I would share:

" I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game's winning shot--and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed".

Enjoy your day!

Big Smiles, Bigger Hearts.

M547 = Matthew 5:4-7

"And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"

Last weekend the M547 team at SEVEN High Desert had an abundance of joyful participants... The extra help came as a blessing and answered prayer. SEVEN's small groups are now getting a chance to serve together and greet their SEVEN family every couple of months. As an M547 leader, I wanted to thank everyone for their efforts and smiling faces...also a special thanks to Pastor Paul for his dedication and love for Seven HD!

Prayers...

Most of you have heard all about the fires... if not, there are fires all over parts of Southern California right now. I've gotten messages all day from friends who are stuck down the hill, friends and family who may have to evacuate their homes, and even friends fighting the fires. Please pray for their safety. Bless you all.

Halloween a little early...

So this weekend My Mom and Dad had their annual Halloween Bash... It was a good time, with good friends, and fun hangin' out with everyone again. Here are a few pics from the night. Thanks Marc and Deb =)
