Christmas time is here...

I have a lot of catching up to do, first off Steve put the lights up a few weeks ago. He does such an amazing job and this picture just can't do it justice.

Today Steve gave me my Christmas present, he wasn't sure I would like it so he wanted to make sure...and well I love it. I have been saying that the stairs needed something but I didn't know what. It's perfect...thanks Karaden for helping him out.


In spite of everything that is going on, I have to pause and give thanks for the wonderful blessings in my life. I have an amazing husband, no he isn't perfect and our marriage has had it's fair share of bumps but I love him. I have a beautiful daughter and step daughter who make being a mom a great experience. I have the most amazing family. My sisters are women whom I draw strength from daily, and my mom comforts me when all seems lost. My sister in law Amie is one of my dearest friends and I can't imagine life without her. My in laws have given me so much support and I am forever in debt to them...My neighbors are people whom I have come to consider very dear friends, everyday they are there for me and I love them dearly. Heather and Ginger has been my friends for ages and they still are the ones I run to when I need a good laugh..thanks girls. When I look at all of these blessings how could I possibly let one person who doesn't even know me bring me down...I can't! I thank each and everyone of you for giving me the strength I needed. I love you!

Chaney! It's so great to see you back to blogging.... I have been thinking of you so much lately.

Bill and I would love to get together for dinner in the next few weeks if you're free.

I love your new pictures, you look great. You are so beautiful Chaney and we love you so much. Don't ever let some one who barely knows you get you down again.

Please let me know if you can do dinner and thank you for your beautiful post. I cherish our friendship so much.

I love the family pictures as well as Steve's x-mas present. Hope you and your fun family are enjoying the holidays. We all need to get together again, and not let 4 months go by in between.
