Family Field Trip To Thomas Edison's Summer Home In Fort Myers
Since this is my blog I have to share honestly from my heart. This was a beautiful field trip. The weather was gorgeous, the grounds were breathtaking, but I believe that a docent can make or break the "experience" and ours did. 
Our docent was very nice, but I learned a valuable lesson. Never, never, never choose the docent who is carrying index cards. (smile) Many of us in my group would look longingly over at the other groups as they would be pulling the kids into the presentation, asking questions, stirring excitement. Our docent seemed to be flustered when children asked questions or laughed together. It was not horrible by any means, but a lesson was definitely learned. DON'T PICK THE ONE WITH THE INDEX CARDS! 
Brandon's Birthday MontageStacia
Dear Stacia, As I sit here this morning my heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness, gratefulness and love. Who would have known that when your sweet mama and I met 16 years ago that God already had a plan in place, beyond what I could ever see, ever know. You were only a little girl in those early years and it was my honor to watch your mom pour prayer and love into her precious daughter. I had no idea that God was going to allow me to not only see, but be the recipient of those answered prayers many years later. You have become such a beautiful wife, mother and friend. You love your Jesus, your husband, your daughters and your friends in a way that draws their hearts closer to you and yet gives God all the glory. I so admire the way you patiently pour into those around you with your love language of “Acts Of Service”. You give, give, give and never ask for anything in return. Friday night as I mingled with others and watched you work Brandon’s birthday I was overwhelmed with such deep gratitude. I knew that everything going on had your fingerprints all over it. From the games to the signature board. You were there behind the scenes, working, planning, plotting, praying. What I love most is the heart behind the gesture, I know that you did it just because you love our family. I love how much you believe in my Brandon and I am so forever thankful that you and Terry are in his life. An hour into the party I looked up and saw everyone having such a great time and it brought tears to my eyes. How very thankful I am to have you in my life. You did such an amazing job planning out the details of this party that it just took my breath away. I LOVE YOU STACIA and I am forever thankful for the woman, wife, and most importantly (to me) “friend” and “sister” you have become. Planning and facilitating this party was a gift that I will never forget as long as I live. 20 years from now as Brandon visits us with his wife and children we will pull out the scrapbook and STILL talk about Stacia and the memories that were made at this event. As a matter of fact, I find myself continuing to remember more and more details as we gain distance and hindsight. Your gift just keeps on giving. I love Stacia Nemeth! “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:29 Brandon's "18th" Birthday Party!Brandon's 18th Birthday Party
