Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Happy Thanksgiving!


So much to be thankful for. It is hard to know where even to start. Sometimes I feel like we get so caught up in the day to day tasks that we forget to stop and be thankful….we need Thanksgiving to come around more than once a year!

We are thankful for:


  • A God who is awesome and who is shows us unconditional love and forgiveness. Who could ask for more than that?
  • A country where we are free to live how we want to live, believe what we want to believe, and say what we want to say.
  • A family who loves each other no matter what. Provides each other with love, encouragement, and total support.
  • A daughter who we love more than we ever thought possible. God gave us a beautiful little person who teaches us something every day. We have become better people after having her. She has reminded us that God is in control and to hand over all of our worries to Him. How can such a little tyke do all of that?
  • Friends! Friends provide us with laughter and good times! They are there for us through the good and the bad.
  • Each other. When I saw Brian 10 years ago I couldn’t have imagined being where we are now. We have grown together throughout the years, and I wouldn’t change a thing about that journey!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone....and remember what you are thankful for!

Weekend

I don't know how time goes so quickly, but it sure does. Before I knew it my blog has gotten a bit out of date. The last time I was on here was Halloween and here it is mid-November! So I did a couple posts tonight.

I just thought this was a cute picture. And the videos below are just clips of us having a fun, laid back Sunday afternoon. Stella was in a good mood, which means we were in good moods also :)



ND vs. Navy




Last weekend we attended the Notre Dame vs. Navy game. We couldn't have asked for better weather. However, we could have asked for a better game outcome. Dustin and Emily were able to come with us....woohoo!
