New Years Eve- 2010

I was so excited we got to spend New Years with Kerry, Sarah, Jared and the girls. It was our last night with them before heading back to Myrtle Beach. Kerry offered to take us to Niffer's, MY FAVORITE, for dinner!!! It was so much fun! Thanks Kerry! We rang in the New Year and the kids slept through the ball dropping :)










I will say this year has been extremely difficult with continuing to be dependent on support as we continue our ministry with Wellspring, TJ having 2 full time jobs, some family stress, and of course the loss of TJ's mom. But this year was FULL of blessings as well! Despite financial difficulties God has ALWAYS provided above and beyond, thankful for TJ's ministry at WMBF and Wellspring (we have seen lives changed!!), the blessings of Premier Designs Jewelry (financially & amazing friendships and spiritual growth!), a great school and friends for our kids, wonderful time with family and all that the Lord has taught me about depending on Him for everything! I am so thankful for the Lord and that He has been faithful and I have learned a lot about His love for me! Here is the verses that I say sums up this year...

"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Phillipians 3:13-14

and

"I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together." Psalm 34: 1-3 (This is also Premier's verse for 2011)

Happy New Year!

We don't get to visit with Grandmaw, Kerry's mom, much because she lives in Florida and her condo is pretty small. She was so kind and rented a house so we could all come visit and stay together. Kerry's brother, Darren, and his family were also in town so it was great getting to visit with them too! We did a lot of laughing, cooking, taking turns in Grandmaw's power chair, playing games, playing guitars, and of course I took a lot of pictures. It was very special since it will be the last time Grandmaw would get to spend time with Sarah and Jared before they move. We were also thankful Karen and Mark came down for the day and brought the Wii... It was a lot of fun.

Meeting Finley!

I could not go to Birmingham without swinging by Natalie's to meet her 3rd baby... Finley Catherine! I am so thankful they don't live in Vermont anymore! Finley is just precious and I LOVE her hair! Also, they have not seen Anderson since he was like 4 months old so it was fun for Anderson and Tucker to meet. So thankful for the short but sweet time. My picture with me and Natalie didn't turn out :( but she is sending me one soon (I hope!).

Karoline, Anderson, Emma Raines, and Tucker got to play a little...
