Winter fun...

February is coming in like a lion...an Indy ice-storm and more snow on the way! We are enjoying winter around here(though flip-flops and iced tea on the porch sounds pretty wonderful about right now...smiles).It's rather a cozy time...winter wonderland scenes from our windows by day and cuddles, big cozy blankets, warm pj's and cocoa from our favorite mugs(or hot tea if you are Corey) by evening. The only downside is having to drive on treacherous roads...can be kind of scary at times!
Christmas time is now a beautiful memory. January was a month to celebrate~~~some wonderful answers to prayer and the 20th anniversary of our wedding! Danny planned a wonderful weekend downtown Indy...a beautiful stay at The Canterbury hotel, delicious meals at The Oceanaire and St.Elmo's, a covered carriage ride, a relaxing pedicure and more...It was terribly romantic and I still have stars in my eyes! :)Loving family kept our kids and they had a blast, too! I feel greatly blessed to have had 20 years of wedded bliss to such an awesome man...:)
Just enjoyed these quotes from my NKJ Woman's study Bible..."As you trust God's gifts to be sufficient and His assignments to be appropriate, you can accept the way you look, the means you have been given, the family in which you are living, the struggles through which you have gone,the job you have, being content and fulfilled in all. You must trust that God has given you everything needed for this moment in time. As you depend upon the Lord, you are content as you pursue His goals for your life." "Contentment" and not taking my everyday blessings for granted are my new year's resolutions.
Trust you are feeling God's love and peace during this winter season! Thought that I would share some of our winter pics...

Christmas time is here...

Christmas time is here, and bringing with it lots of cheer! :) Lovin' this wonderful time of year! A time to celebrate with family and friends. A time to enjoy beautiful Christmas music...piano recitals, contatas or favorite Christmas CDs. A time to create delicious Christmas treats...candies, cookies and favorite menues. A time to burn yummy Christmas scented candles~~~cranberry, cinnamon or evergreen. A time to cuddle by the twinkling lights of the tree and read Christmas books aloud. Most of all...a time to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas...the birth of our wonderful Saviour! We are truly enjoying this holiday season and hope that you are TOO! Merry Christmas and blessings for a wonderful year!

We are quickly moving into the beautiful fall season...gotta love the crisp, cool evenings, sweatshirts, fall candles, cocoa and cuddling time! :)We still have fond memories of our wonderful summer~~including the Indiana State Fair, and our end~of~summer bang with the "fam" at a cabin in Kentucky.

Blog changes...

After thinking about maybe "quitting" blogging all together with the fun "challenges" of life(and just everyday duties...if ya know what I mean!), I have decided to continue it because it is something that I enjoy WHEN I have a chance. :) I want my blog to be a place that people can stop by for a peek into our lives, only if they want to. I have decided to remove the "comments"~~somehow that removes for me a sense of obligation(both for me and for would~be readers)! I feel that I can correspond with "friends" on my FB page. :)
With that said~~~ We are in the midst of some changes in our lives. Danny starts a new job on Tuesday(He will still be in orthopedics, but eventually will be in a hospital(currently being built) that will be 5 minutes from our house. We feel that God opened this door and give Him all the praise! We are also trying to sell our house which is an interesting time in our lives...house showings are just SO much fun! :)We plan to stay in this area~~just need a little more room. We are enjoying the beautiful days of summer, and I plan to post some current pictures soon. Trust that YOU...my blogger friends, are having a wonderful, blessed summer...Hope that you are feeling God's love and peace. He is SO good!

Easter memories...

Spring is rushing by...Can't believe that Easter is over! It is one of my favorite times of the year....I love the bright colors, the FUN Easter egg hunts, the smiles on the kid's faces when they get to open their Easter baskets, the special Sunday church services, the traditional, yummy Easter dinner....shared with family(our sweet family from Louisiana came to visit this year); but MOST of all...I love to reflect on the real meaning of Easter~~~We serve a RISEN Saviour! Hope that you all had a blessed Easter day! Happy Spring! :)
