About Jules

My name is Jules.
I have always loved to write. Even when I was a child I remember writing as a way of expressing myself.
I desire to help people who are hurting and want to live for something much bigger than myself and this typical (but blessed) American dream. I am learning and seeking what this looks like in my life.
I am a stay at home mom and I love it and would chose this life over and over again. But I do miss exploring the other dimensions of myself, when being a mom wasn't the number one hat I wore.
I love Jesus and am so in awe of His love for me. I hope my life can show even a bit of Him in me.

Summer Catch Up

















Wow! It has been soOO long since I have updated our blog! I am sorry. It has been a busy few months as always! So this will be a biggie of all we have done since summer and in the past few months.
April: Rich and Nicole's Wedding! Beautiful, fabulous Wedding! So much fun! We all had a blast including the bride and groom. Nicole had asked if I would read something at the ceremony, so I wrote a short poem and read it in the ceremony. I liked it and felt special to be able to be a part of the wedding!
May: Girls Weekend in Palms Springs: had a blast, great quality girl time with great friends.
June: Lots went on in June. to start we had the 1st Annual Edkins Camping Trip up in the Sequoias! Although the weather was not ideal we still had such a great time! The burger cook-off was definetly the highlight of the weekend! We are all already looking forward to next year and I am hoping more of my friends will be able to join too!
Then. my Best Friend And and Chris were in town and stayed at our house for the week. They are one of favorite couples to hang out with. Dave and Chris get along great which is so awesome. We had such a great, special time~! and then April and Raul also made it to town and we gpt to spend some good time with them also. It was amazing as I miss those guys soo much! Ang and Chris are now back in DC but we can't wait to spend time with them again soon!
Next was the Havasu trip with my family. SO FUN! we had the perfect amount of time with everyone in the family. got to spend great time with the kids and had good relax time too! Havasu is always a blast and we love hanging out with our family.
July: Palm Springs with Emily and Jeff. We just got back from a night in Palm Springs with Jeff and Emily. We had a really great time. We just relaxed by the pool all day and then went out for dinner. After dinner Dave and I were exhausted from the day in the sun and some drinks that we crashed out early (sorry guys) We really had a great time and were really happy to be able to spend time with My Best Friend!! Felt so relaxing which is what we wanted and really got some good, quality time with Em and Jeff which was awesome!
Now Coming Up: HAWAII!! We are leaving next week for Hawaii and are so excited! We are going back to Kona and then to Kauai! I think it will be such great time for Dave and I to really relax and spend time together!
dave and I are doing great! Work is really busy for Dave and a bit stressful as he is learning the new position but He is happy and likes the new position! I think he is adjusting well and I really think he is a Great Manager. I am really proud of Him
We Love you all!
