December 2016----we had more ice than I can ever remember!!! It did bring some beauty, an ice day at home, and lots of downed branches. Many places had it worse than us, and we never lost power. Check out the fun icy pictures. I realized my last post was when we found Molly. Wow...we've lost one and added another since then. Life has had many ups and downs since my last post. During that time, there was a lot about our life I didn't want to share. BUT, God is good, and I'm happy to report, He is in charge of us now. We found that trying to do things our own way didn't work out very well.
This month has been a whirlwind. From plays and birthdays, work and getting ready for Christmas, its hard believe we are 3 days away from Christmas. Did I get cards out this year??? NOPE. Did I get our annual letter done that I've skipped the last two years and was determined to do this year? NOPE!!! I was trying to get myself wrapped around doing it, and then I realized I was trying to kill myself. I decided to focus on what was important. Was sitting in front of my computer important to do an annual letter? Nope....Was spending time watching Christmas movies and playing cards important? YES!! The house got decorated, the tree is up, the shopping is done, so much so that Kristin, Bill, Jacob and I are getting out on Friday to spend our birthday gift cards, and our Christmas present from Pat and Ray. We are SO excited.My love of blogging is still here....I just haven't had the time. So tonight, while the kids watch a movie that isn't my favorite, I'm going to blog about our year. 2016 was the best year we've had since Bill was laid off from HP in 2009. That's 7 long years. I'm happy to report, 2017 is looking like it will be even better. Praising God, who put all things back in place!
Stay tuned...it might take me a few days.
