One Thousand Gifts (787 - 796)

Fast forward 2 years from my last post.  So much life has happened. Its hard to remember all the great gifts that God has given me.  Which, of course, is why I need to continue posting here.  It also will get me to pick up my camera.  Its been sitting, unused in its case for months on end. I miss capturing those wonderful, silly, meaningful moments.


787.  My mom moved back here!  We found her a house 2 blocks away.  Its been so wonderful having her near.  Although life is so crazy that I still can't get over there as much as I would like. (She's gonna kill me for posting this picture!  It's ok mom, no one reads this anyway  😊)

My beautiful mom and Aunt

788.  God's amazing creation!

789.  Family reunion!  My sister, niece & her kids and nephew and came to town and we were able to put together an impromptu reunion.  We were missing a bunch of people but were totally blessed to share the afternoon with the ones who made it.

790.  Watching the sunrise from the top of Lone Mountain with my son.

791.  Our new dog.  Not really sure if I'm really thankful for her.  We got her a little over a year ago and she is kind of a jerk.  Some days I like her.  Other days I am willing to give her to anyone who will take her. 

792.  Our new (to us) house.  We were so blessed to be able to upgrade to a bigger house.  With the kids getting bigger, we were not even all able to sit the same room in the evening.  I thought I had a picture but I seem to be missing a whole years worth of photos. 

793.  Cooler weather.  Oh my goodness, I can't deal with the heat anymore.  When the temperature gets below 70, I feel like I come alive.

794.  My Boo got baptized!  I told her she was not allowed to sin anymore since she got baptized (haha). She didn't buy it. But I'm proud of her for deciding that a life with Christ was the best way to live.

795.  My beautiful daughter, who is also one of my closest friends

796.  This boy.  He has put me through the wringer, but the Lord used it to grow me into a better mom and person, and he is now a young man with a more godly character.
