2010?!

Is it really 2010? Will I really be 35 this year!? That is not cool!

Well, I made it my first full year without my best friend. I did it totally with God's strength. I could not have gotten out of bed on some days without Him. But here I am, the first full year behind me and I am proud of myself. Now this isn't something I want to be excited about, because I wish with all my heart I didn't have to go through it. But at the same time I know I can trust God to take care of me, I can trust Him when everything insides me tells me not to, I can love God and worship God when the world is crashing down around me, and where I have come, that is saying a lot. There was a time I ran from God, said I could not trust Him, and now at my weakest, I trust Him now more than ever. Do I have my bad days, yes! Will I have my bad days? Yes. But I know I can get through it, I can survive, it won't consume me and this coming year I will come out praising our Savior!

This year Andrew will turn 6, Kaitlyn will turn 2 and I will have a little one sleeping in our room. What a year! What a year full of hope, love and peace.

Happy New Year to you, to your family and God bless you all!

Silver Dollar City lights

Here are some great pics of our family trip to see the lights of Silver Dollar City. It was right before the weekend that marked my mom's passing. I really wanted to get away, and do something with my family, so we went to see the lights at Branson, and stayed in my in-law's trailer. We went shopping at the outlet malls, and Branson landing. Then went to Silver Dollar City...we had a wonderful time and David and I were pleasantly suprised that they brought in the real reason for Christmas everywhere we went.

A funny story, during the light parade they have characters come up to you, and Frosty came up to us and Andrew goes, there is a song about you! It was so cute! I love the innocence of youth!

Hope you enjoy the pics!
