Alot to be thankful for.

This last year has been one of the most amazing and unexpected years of my life. I went from being super newly weds to owning a house, and two prayers were answerd: having a great relationship with Nolita & Scott and being able to see the little ones & having Jazmin in our lives. Amen!
I am also thankful for, well my husband of course who has been amazing to me. From the nightly foot rubs to the patience with my mouth and while I adjusted to new life in Oklahoma ( many night missing my Carissa, Emma, Sara, Kay, and Diana and my other beauties in Ohio & Michigan) But at the same time I take a look at whats around me and I see how blessed I am: I have a great(ish) job,I have family all around me, Wonderful new friends in Okmulgee (who may I add, it feels natural being around them like Im not the new one to the group) and Ijust see how blessed this year has been... I cant imagine how much our family and lives will grow and change this following year. I dont want to imagine it. I think I like the surprizes life has to give you.  God knows me better then I know me so im in great heads, dontcha think?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope your day is blessed. I hope your year is blessed as well.

I was feeling O So Blue With you...

Our very first car as a newly married couple:

We were really excited to have it. Blue took us many paces and we have a million memories enjoying going to the lake, Norman, date nights and simply going grocery shopping. We overlooked all her flaws :two windows didnt roll down, no ac, no heat and the radio didnt work (yikes!). We felt blessed to have ol'blue in our lives still. But the alst couple of weeks we had been talking about trading her in. The 100+ weather was a HUGE factor. We wanted a reliable car to go to Ohio and Michigan to see family and friends there.

I miss these faces:

& then Ol'Blue broke down....

Husband's Facebook Note about the new Change:

What an awesome God we serve, ok get this, car breaks down I mean wont run for nothing. We still owe on it! Yeh! God tells me to call the dealer and explain that the no air, only two windows roll down, none radio working esscort just took a dump! But of corse to put this in as nice of a way as I could. and so I did. And the Lord gave us favor and blessed through the dealer with a newer, air working windows rollen down,music playen Chevy Cavalier! Man He's Good! That just goes to show you, what often looks like a curse, ends up being a blessing. Praise be to Jesus Christ of whome all blessings come from and of the Father, as they are one in the same.

AMEN!

Here is our new set of wheels

*The radio works too!*
