IT'S ALL ABOUT FALL

This is my favorite time of the year!
Leaves change color, the weather is perfect, and the skies are clear! The whole world seems happy and is absolutely beautiful. =) Maybe that sounds silly to you, but its just the reason why fall is my FAVORITE!

     Random outings and events provide interesting photo ops!

Its beautiful, its fun, its FALL and it's my FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Will Never Forget...

There was a day that I don't remember well.
One of sorrow, and of pain.
When people lost loved ones, and our heroes sacrificed everything.
A day when people passed away.

There was a day that I don't remember well
One that caused our world to be shaken.
When we went to war, and fought for our rights.
A day we went to bed in tears that night.

There was a day I don't remember well
One I've heard stories about for years
When our country banded together and trembled from the fear.
A day we will never forget.


9/11 happened 10 years ago when I was 6 years old. I can honestly say I don't remember much about it. I remember my dad telling me that two really big buildings burned down, and I vaguely remember seeing a video of it. I really don't know if that's true though. It could have been a TV special from when I was a little older.
I've always known that 9/11 was a very sad day for our country. I don't think I've ever really stopped to think about it or maybe it was never fully comprehended until now. It makes me very thankful for my country, and the freedoms I have that I take for granted every day.
It's just something to think about...

Way beyond blessed

God is amazing. I wish I could write the events of the past weeks out, but it would take a VERY long time.

I sat here for an hour typing and re-typing. Deleting and then deleting more trying to find the right words. And I just can't. Originally I tried telling you the WHOLE story. Then I tried summarizing. I tried tweaking and editing and editing and tweaking. I just can't. =) Just know that God is working in my life in huge ways, and I am so incredibly thankful. I am way beyond blessed!!!!!
