You've grown up alot this last year.....in height....you're taller than me....you're voice has deepened.....you think more grown up....
But you can still be silly....and you love to bug your sister. :)
Hope this year is an awesome one for you! Keep Jesus first. We love you lots.
I will do a post later of my Christmas decor for the last 2 of you that I have reading.:) It's nothing special....
Besides, the whole reason we celebrate is because of the babe in a manger. His time was a simpler time. He didn't need lights or trees to celebrate His birth. He had the Angels!
The snow helps set the scene for the Christmas season. Here, it's been snowing and blowing the last couple of days. Today, it's just sunny and down right cold.
I enjoy the beauty as long as I don't have to spend too long outside in it. Have a great day everyone! Try and stay warm and remember the times when things were a whole lot simpler.
The whites, reds, and greens of winter and Christmas.
These 2 recently started a new season in their life with a beautiful and sweet wedding. Congratulations to you, Jess and JoJo, as you start your new life together. 
We also could be starting a new season in our life. Kinda scary if things work out. But trusting in God for His help.
or even very pretty.
Probably stitch by stitch with her own hands.
That's why it's so very special. Because it was made with love.
Meet Dakota.
While we were there, we went to an antiques flea market. I had in my mind what I was looking for and how much I wanted to spend on it. I'm cheap, I guess and we looked through almost all the booths before I found them. I was looking for oil lamps. You see, we live in the country and the lights go out some. I thought they would be useful and also be a great addition to my decor.:) The first one I already had. The last 2 are the ones I just got. Love them!!
The next Thursday, his parents were almost home after being gone since July and a semi driver ran them off the road into a guardrail in their motor home. They could have very well been badly injured because his mom is on oxygen and when they finally got stopped, everything was laying in a pile behind them. They had bought a love seat and I believe that is what saved them from being injured. His mom's window was gone and she was on the side of the traffic. They only had a few bumps and bruises.
Then, last Friday, David put his dump truck into the ditch to avoid hitting the back of someone who slammed on their brakes at the last minute. The gravel shifted and he landed on his side and slide for a bit. He wasn't injured other than a small scratch and some soreness. He was thanked by both drivers and the officer told him he did the right thing. I guess the insurance agent did too. I am so thankful to still have him with me and that noone was even injured. It could have been so much worse. If he hadn't been wearing his seat belt, he would have ended up hurt very badly, I'm sure. God has truly been protecting us. I give Him all the praise.
I married my best friend
And high school sweetheart.
We were very young and have been through alot.
But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you, David.

Don't know what we'd ever do without you.
