HAPPY NEW YEAR! All We Do Is WIN!

WAR EAGLE... what a GREAT way to start out the NEW YEAR! Auburn is officially #1- the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!! What a season! The kids were excited to wear their Auburn gear to school and we had a small party. April, Eric, my parents, and Trey & Danielle (they brought a little red to the party!) came over to watch the game.

I think this season I almost had to go to the hospital for heart problems every game! Just kidding but Auburn sure know how to keep you on the edge of your seat! WAR EAGLE!







When we won we woke up Karoline to come join us as we celebrated!

The next day... ready for school!
Here is my favorite video:

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!

Destin Trip

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.
