Counting Down

Jordan leaves Washington for home....one week from today!!! I can not wait to wrap my arms around him, kiss those cheeks, and hear him breathe!!!

Have a good weekend! And yeah....if you stop by....Please say hello!

Thanksgiving

We had a very fun and different Thanksgiving this year. We went camping (you know...the modern Pilgrim way) down near Williamsburg. It was such a fun and relaxing time. I am so glad that we went, perhaps a new tradition??? Seth had a lot of fun, even though he was the only kid. We did our traditional Black Friday Movie. And then on Saturday, we toured historic Yorktown and the Jamestown Settlement. Man O Man am I glad I live NOW. It was cold and damp that day, and I just can not imagine!!!

Also, Seth figured out that modern day conveniences are just way too nice. And yeah...I am a modern day girl myself!!! Brandon and Jordan would have loved the trip too, and of course we thought about them a lot. Jordan actually had a nice long weekend at my sister-in-law Shawn's house. So he had a good Thanksgiving with family. And well, I can only imagine the type of Thanksgiving they do in Heaven. I am sure for Brandon...EVERYDAY is Thanksgiving and Praising!

And to that...I give all of my THANKS to God for making Eternity possible and a reality! Thank you Jesus!

Uuuuugh (can you just also see my body slump on that)

Today is just one of those days. However, I will stive to continue to find my JOY ~ which is of the Lord, and is my strength. And I really don't want to miss out on the JOY of my family by staying in this pit. I just feel sad at this moment. But I will end with a scripture, cause I know that it is so important to keep the word of God in my heart, on my lips, and in front of my eyes!!!

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13
