Grateful




I love pictures because I love the feelings that come when a picture triggers a memory. I pulled up this picture and it almost brought me to tears. This is a picture taken in our yard in Morgan. Dave was deployed and my cute uncle came over to till the garden for me so that we could start planting. We absolutely lived in the greatest place on earth while Dave was deployed. I was sure it would be the worst 18 months of my life. I am so happy to say I could not have been more wrong. Our little family created an unbreakable bond that I cherish! I was surrounded by friends and family that loved us - and made it known. Of course we had our down days - but those days were so outnumbered by days that were overwhelmingly blessed. I know that we were protected and watched over by our Heavenly Father who blessed us in more ways than I could even begin to express. Sometimes I get busy and forget some of the things that have changed and blessed my life. I am grateful to be reminded!




I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas.....

I found this picture on my computer and it made me homesick. We took this picture off the front porch of our house in Morgan. I have lived in Utah/Idaho all of my life and have almost always had a white Christmas. There is something magical about "Christmas snow".
I do have to admit I am loving the weather here in Alabama though! :O)
