Hello Blogging World! This is my first attempt to join in on the blogging fun!!!
Marty and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this past March. For those of you who may not know our history, we met in the fall of 1991. We had our first date in the summer of 1992. We had our second date in July 1995. I knew on that second date that God wanted me to marry this man. We got engaged in March of 1996, planned a wedding, took a short break, got re-engaged on February 2, 1997 at How Joy in Greenville, and were married at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Greenville, MS on March 29, 1997.
We have lived in the Memphis area our entire marriage. We joined St. Andrews PCA in Cordova in April 2001. Marty is a godly husband and father and I thank God for him daily.
God has blessed us with three beautiful children here on earth and two precious babies that went to heaven last year. John Martin is 12, Sam is 6, and Elizabeth is 4. Bailey Evans we lost to miscarriage on May 2, 2011 and then we lost Sarah Nell on October 12, 2011 to our 2nd miscarriage. We are so thankful for the many blessings he has given us and even for the hardships. We don't know the plans he has for our family yet but are certain His plans are perfect!
The summer break from school for the kids officially begins Friday afternoon. I will be curious to see how productive we will be. We have scheduled a family reunion, swimming lessons, Vacation Bible School, and a trip to the coast all before the end of June. I am also attempting to begin a Summer Tuesday playgroup for my girlfriends that would like an extra outlet for the summer.
I am averaging 3-4 cake orders a week which I feel is about all Erin's Cake Creations can handle right now. God continuously provides for all of our needs!
Marty has been with his company for over 5 years now and feels so blessed that his childhood hobby has more than provided for our family. Who would have ever guessed that a Bachelor's Degree in Biology would lead to an IT profession? God knew.
John Martin was our only child for 6 years. He is loving, compassionate, thoughtful, artistic, loves to build Legos, and math and science are his favorite subjects. He is completing his 6th Grade Honors program as we speak. John Martin and I will begin the homeschooling journey this fall with the assistance of Veritas. We are really excited about this new adventure.
Sam is our Wild Man! He came into this world a little early and hasn't stopped yet. He is energetic, artistic, loving, charismatic, loves to read, draw, and run! He is completing his Kindergarten year and will be in the optional 1st grade program in the fall.

| Elizabeth aka Snow White 4th Birthday Princess party |
Elizabeth Hinton is our princess. She is loving, helpful, busy, loves to play with her baby dolls, and recently has been asking for a real baby for her birthday. I have told her that she needs to talk to God about that.
