Show Us Your Life:Living Room, Master Bedroom, Dining Room

I know, I know I am a little behind on "Show Us Your Life", but I thought I would catch up. Tay, are you proud? The Master Bedroom

This little couch was B's grandma's. She received it for her 16th birthday. We had it reupholstered and we have a little piece of "Nanny" in our bedroom.

The Dining Room

The furniture in the dining room was my great grandparents. I love having pieces of those who were so dear to us throughout our home. I think Lillie Lucille would be proud. :)

Living Room

I worked on this mantle for hours last weekend getting it just right for fall. I think the older I get the more obsessed I become with details.

Check out my "Dowdy Dog".

With some money that we received as a wedding present we decided to have get a painting of our first house together. No matter where we may go we will never for get the first Radford home.

Head on over to Kelly's Korner to tour other homes.

Radford Rambles...

I am a little behind times in the blogging world. I guess life never slows down. :)

We celebrated Mary Beth's Birthday a few Sundays ago. After we ate I had to capture a few pictures of Bailey. She is growing so fast and she is a "Miss Priss" for sure. Last night, we went out to eat with them and I am amazed at all the things she can say. She talks with so much expression. We will celebrate Bailey's birthday next weekend. She will be 2!!

We hosted the August Sunday School social at our house. I wanted to share a few pictures of the kids. They are all so cute and special!

Harper is trying to get James to look at the camera. This picture takes me back to when I was little and always trying to get Zack to do something. :) The moments between a brother and sister are priceless.



Are you ready for some football???!!!???? Tomorrow the Pirates will take the field at 2:00 pm. I can't wait to tailgate and cheer on the Pirates.

Are you ready for Bible study??!!?? We decided to take a summer break and it time to get back into the swing of things. I had the opportunity to study with some girls in Wilson over the summer and I am going to co-lead a group here in the fall. However, I can't wait to get back to studying God's word with the Greenville girls too. In Greenville we are going to do the Bible study "No Other Gods" by Kelly Mitner and in Wilson we are doing "Faithful, Abundant, True".

I am a warm weather girl, but cool brisk breeze is feeling really good this morning. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!!

In a Week...

Over the past week The Radford family has been so fortunate to share so many special memories with our friends and family. We kicked off our week of celebrations with Caroline's graduation last Thursday night. Caroline we are very proud of you!!

The Barrow Family

Last Saturday we celebrated the marriage of Bryan's cousin, Emily and Kyle. It was a beautiful weekend filled with many memories.

The Happy Couple

B and Emily

On Tuesday of last week I got to go meet a special little one...Miss Addision. Casey and I have been friends for years, but over the past 6 months she has been my prayer partner for Bible study. I was so excited to meet this little one. I put together the box above for the parents and Miss Priss. If you know me you know that I LOVE a basket or box filled with goodies. I forgot to take my camera in so no pics of Addison, but head over to her blog to see Addison.

I was headed to the beach last Wednesday when KT called to tell me that I was going to be an Auntie on Thursday. On Thursday we all gathered around to cheer KT on and welcome Anna Kathryn into the world. Here are a few pictures from the day, but be sure to visit Katie and Taylor's blogs for more sweet pics.

AK & M

Look at that face....she is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Every year The Barrow family heads to the beach for the week and they let us join in the fun. On Wednesday Mom and I headed to the beach. We had a wonderful time just relaxing, laughing and EATING. On Friday Daddy, Ms. Terry and Bryan joined in the fun. Until next year here are a few pictures...(I did not do the best job of capturing our memories in pictures.)

We headed to the beach for a photo session with the bride to be and Justin. I have included a few of my favorites.

Cousins

Josiah all grown up!!

Will You Help Me Pray...

I am sure that many of you know by now that Zack was deployed again earlier this month. I have been meaning to do this post for a few weeks now. I just wanted to ask that you please join us in praying for Zack during his time away. We always end our conversation with Zack telling me what we can pray for. Our last conversation he asked that prayers be lifted for his patience and anxiety. I ask that you not only pray for him, but the other men and women that are serving as well.

This week in my Bible study we talked about Abraham and how he displayed incredible obedience by offering Issac as a sacrifice. As a result of his steadfast faith God blessed Abraham with such sweet rewards. I am so thankful that there are men and women that answer the call to serve our country. Also, I am challenged to look at my life to make sure that maintain obedience like Abraham displayed.

Thank you for your prayers.


Zack's email is zhenryliles@yahoo. He always enjoys messages from people at home.

Summer Fun

We have had a fun summer weekend. Friday night we headed to Nashville to eat at Ribeye's. After we ate we went over to visit Mr. Johnny and Ms. Patty (B's dad and stepmom). Saturday I headed to Greenville to meet Aunt Angie, Caroline and Mama to look for a wedding dress for Caroline. Caroline said "Yes to the dress!!". She found the perfect dress for her. :) Saturday night we had the Greenville crew and Mama over for dinner. We always have so much fun with the crew. I spend my entire night laughing at Bryan Meeks.

We had fun playing with Connor. He had to change into his PJs before heading home. Is he not the cutest!?! The next gathering we will have a new crew member-Miss Anna Kate should be here.

Today we went to church and then we went to Raleigh with Ms. Lillie and Mr. Jimmy (B's mom and stepdad) to eat at Jason's Deli and shop a little. I am in love with Jason's Deli. The salad bar and turkey wrap are soooo good to me. As you can see below The Radford family ended the day with a nice nap! We feel so blessed to have been able to share our weekend with our friends and family.

Busy....

Last Sunday we had a time of celebration at the Radford home...we celebrated Father's Day with my Dad, Zack's send off for his upcoming deployment and Ms. Lillies birthday. Below are a few pics from the evening.

Father's Day was a bit different this year for the Liles family. Zack is deploying next week and before each deployment our Pastor prays over him. So the entire clan went to church in Kinston on Father's Day to be with Zack as he prepares. Although, this was somewhat of a sad note our Dad at the same time was beaming with pride at the man the Zack has become.

Zack and Shane

As we sat in church on Sunday we were surprised by several of our friends that came to support him. I tell you when I left I felt so blessed to know that so many people support Zack and the other men and women who go out and serve our country.

Cinnamon, Sarah and Kade

Last week the Greenville girls came to Wilson for Bunco. We had so much fun just being together-holding babies, laughing and EATING!!

Danielle, Taylor, Katie and Caroline

Jeanne's baby, Davis loves dogs. He face just glows when he sees a dog and Dowdy was no exception. The moment he saw him he just laughed. We let the boys play together.

I love this picture!!
