proud of the hubs

matt had the opportunity to speak at

this past weekend. This is matt's brother Phillip's ministry in St. Louis. What a blessing for brothers to be a part of what each other are doing in their seperate ministries! God is good. Phillip will be coming to Arlington to speak at HouseLife at the FH... we can't wait! :)

ZOE means "life" so,

"all that life is intended to be" through Jesus of course! :) Phillip is so creative and always does such a good job of decorating and making the ZOE house look so cool. He is very talented.

a little love... for my laundry

So blessed to be celebrating this Valentines with the sweetest, cutest man on the planet... but even more blessed to have a husband who loves and cherishes me all year round. Therefore, no pressure on Valentines, just another night just the two of us :)

Anyways, I am showing a little love to my laundry... homemade laundry detergent. Thank you Pinterest :) I would always rather do laundry than grocery shop, so Im pretty excited about this! Nothing like bringing a little happy to your domestic bliss, right?? :)

Smells great and should save us some $$$ which is always great!

4 simple ingredients:

castile soap

borax

baking soda

lavender oil (or just get lavender castile soap)

happy LOVE day!

Drew as the best ref!

My baby brother turned 20!! Ahh!

So blessed to have Drew live with us this year... we have seen him grow in his relationship with the Lord and in maturity. We are so proud of you Drewman! I know we will always look back on this year as one of the most fun years of our marriage :) Love you!

christmas 2011

we had a sweet time in St. Louis this Christmas, and our family was sweet enough to wait on us to arrive before celebrating. We went to church Sunday morning in Arlington and then headed straight for St. Louis... we were exhausted, but so excited to be there!! We spent had a great time with family and our best friends.... the highlight of the trip was getting to meet our new nephew Britton. I didn't get any pictures with him but Julie did, so hopefully she will share them soon :)

Wishing you and your family a blessed, and very merry, Christmas!

"But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”" - Luke 1:30 - 33

Love, the Hunters, Drew & Benton
