The 24th: I love You!


It's the 24th of March so 2 years 1 month since we have been dating.
I cannot believe that in 4 1/2 months, we will be married.
It seems like we have known each other for a LONG time,
yet the time has seemed to have flown by. So many memories already
past and so MANY great memories to come.
In reality, we have only just begun! I just want you to know,
Adam, that I love you very much!
Thank you for the wonderful 2 years so far!

Happy Anniversary!

The Frame


Here is when they opened it! It says: Family - Life's Greatest Blessing

Family

For Christmas, I got my siblings together
so that we could take pictures
and put them in a frame for mom and dad.
The last time we had our pictures
taken was when I was thirteen which was a
a while ago. So we had mom and dad go
out on a date, and us kids drove out to
a park. I set up a photo shoot and
took some pics (it was $100 dollars at
walmart for 1 pose, and I needed 4!)

This was taken on Christmas day after we gave
them the frame. Then they were
added to it. They LOVED it and both started
crying! I love it too!

Spring has Come!

This is a picture of a rose that I was
able to capture with my camera. The color is
so beautiful with the sky behind it!

Since I have been in Tennessee,
I have LOVED getting to enjoy all the different
seasons God has created. In Florida,
we don't have the changes in color, but it is so
breathtaking with each new season!

I LOVE flowers and all the colors, shapes,
and details of each individual flower.
It reminds me of how great God is and how
loving He is to us. He gives us
soooo many little blessings each day to point us
to Him...even in His creation.

It then reminds me of the seasons of
my life, how they are continually changing...each
stage just as breathtaking and wonderful
as the next. How can the God of the universe
be so loving to bless me with so
much? How can He be so interested in my
life that He allows to experience
so many wonderful privileges? He is so precious,
and I am constantly reminded of that.

In every season, there are those nasty days
that are filled with thunderstorms and
rain. BUT when that storm is passed, the beauty
comes forth and makes for wonderful days
walking in the sun, riding a bike,
picking shells on the beach, or just relaxing in
a hammock swinging in the breeze.

This is true in our lives. Every season is wonderful,
yet we still have those storms. God places
those in our lives to only make the
next day more beautiful. Testings and trials
may come, but he still loves us.
The day comes when we see clearly why those
struggles came, and we are so thankful
for them. Never forget: each season
is a blessing, and the storms that come
will only make it more beautiful on the other side!

Trip to Connecticut

We had a blast this past weekend...getting
to see all the great sights,
meeting Pastor Shott and his family,
and spending time our family.


Back in New York City! Yeah!!!! I love it!

The people, the cars, the taxis....CROWDED!

This was an old rundown factory in Connecticut,
and I love the old look to it!

Spending a day with Adam's parents...
had a wonderful time!
We're so glad that they came to see us!

View of New York City from the plane.

God has been so good to us. He has led
and guided us through so much,
and we are so thankful for His love and care.
He has allowed us to go so many places
and see many people.
We have experienced many great things,
and we are excited to see what is to come!!!
