My Sweet Mother



Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and influential woman in my life!
 I love you so much, mom! I hope I learn to be half of the 
woman and mother that you are! I'm sad I don't get to be 
there with you on your 'milestone' birthday and anniversary,
 but I'm glad you enjoyed the tea party us kids put on for you!
 You are such a strong woman that I look up to daily! 
Thank you for being you. 

Love,
your  baby!

Peace Like a River

I realize that I haven't blogged for far too long. I think about it everyday, too! Here is goes(I'm rusty)...

In the last five months I've gotten Charlie(my child), dated for a short while, went on a family vacation, and been working on my last really important semester. It's been a wonderful five months! Although I would probably by much happier if I wasn't dealing with school. I feel like I've learned so much about myself in these past months, too. I've been learning and living out what God has planned for me, which I really don't know where he is leading me, but in Him I am content. I've learned that I cannot rely on others to give me the satisfaction that I need, but instead look to Him for comfort. God has moved me more than ever before and I'm so excited to see where He takes me. This is probably the most stressful weeks that I will have ever had but somehow I'm at peace (Philipians 4:7).


Charlie is quite leery about the bathtub...
the shaggy dog looking for his treat
We dominated x-county skiing, but not without some bruises...
and dogsledding.
It was a relaxing, knitting, x-country skiing, dogsledding, snowmobiling, and four-wheeling find of weekend at the Grand View Lodge.
