I have been married to my best friend for over 23 years and have made a lifetime of memories with him. I am a SAHM to three nearly grown children. I try to spend my 'spare time' creating and preserving memories using photographs, when not out making more memories!

happy new year!!

it has been over a month since i posted at all. Christmas was wonderful and peaceful...that is a good thing. i tried to not get caught up in the commercialism, which isn't too difficult as i hate to shop with crowds of people. i also made a conscious decision to not overextend myself or put too much expectation upon myself. i focused on the reason for the season which is JESUS, if it weren't for His birth, there would NOT be a CHRISTmas!!

i hope that you & your family had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying 2008!! unbelievable that we are into another year, time flies!!

i am doing a GRATITUDE journal this year by posting something that i am thankful for each day. it will be a wonderful testimony as to all of the many blessings that God has given me.

today's entry is, "i am grateful for wonderful gifts from God called 'friends'.
{tonight my husband and i joined julie & gregg for a belated Christmas (and New Year's Dinner), we had a marvelous time, just spending time with friends!!}

i hope that you find time to find something to be grateful for each day!!

I loved your Grateful journal. I also enjoyed our dinner the other night. I always enjoy our time together.
