In all of my years I have never really enjoyed big New Year’s Eve celebrations. It always seemed like a lot of hooplah or an excuse for people to drink and eat way too much. I am a hang at home, play games with the family, eat fondue kind of girl. That is how we have celebrated with our kids and have loved it. However, this past year, a [...]

Paintings from the Heart
I have always wanted to try this and I was so thankful that it worked out over Christmas break. Gillian and I had a girls day out with good friends. It was just so much fun and relaxing, I cannot wait to go back and paint another canvas.

We went up with my sister, Nicole and our friends. We broke into two groups; the boys went one direction and the girls took the other direction.

She and her husband and Kip and I would do lots together. However when we started our families and I quit working we just drifted apart for no apparent reason [...]

Our family weekend was full of fun, laughter, extending ourselves spiritually and physically, making new friends and building upon old friendships. It is truly amazing how much fun we pac [...]
Random Thoughts of Reality
I am not one to write all of the raw emotions that life can throw my way. My blogging and journals are to remind me of the blessings that fill my life. However, in the past couple of years I have learned that many blessing do and can come from the darkest times of our lives. That realization in itself was a huge blessing to me and I hold [...]
Best Friends
These two little girls were born just a couple of weeks apart. They have grown up together and are as close as sister as they could get. I remember when they used to be in the church nursery together, sleeping side-by-side in the baby swings.
