A Valentine From Jesus.

A Valentine From Jesus
I love you. 

You are mine. 

Your name is written upon My heart. 

Your prayers are precious to Me.

 Your life is in My hands. 

I am always with you.

 I am nearer to you than your own heart.

 I gave My life so that you
might live forever with Me.

 All I ask in return is your love.
Be My Valentine,
~ Jesus ~

P.S. You are precious in my sight,
and honored, and I love you.
 ~ Isaiah 43:4 

Classic Christmas Decor!

I am linking up to Glamlife Housewife's Christmas tour. Here is some of this year's decor. I went sort of minimal this year compared to years passed. We had a Christmas party for the teens at our house last Friday so I knew that I wanted to have plenty of room for food, gifts, games, and people. :)

Here are some snowmen that I made for the Christmas party :)

Tuesday Ten

Ten things I am thankful for this Tuesday....

• my sweet, wonderful husband
• the snow we receive that covered everything beautifully
• the smell of a great B&BW candle
• Christmas movies on tv each night leading up to Christmas
• God's grace
• amazing church family
• fellowship and a fun party with the teens of our church
• Isaiah 9:6
• reading the hubs encouraging blogs 
• great shampoo :)

Yummy NYC food

There were lots of wonderful treats to choose from in NYC. They were not all the healthiest choice, but I suppose it is okay to splurge a bit while on vacation. :)

Central Park

I am going to break up our NYC trip into several post.  The first will be some of the beautiful sites from Central Park. It was so picturesque--truly one of my favorite parts of the trip.

Where did the last few months go?!?!?

I have sooo much catching up to do. I want to keep this blog as a journal of our lives so I can look back a few years from now and see what our lives were like. Yikes! I have been failing at this miserably! :) I am back on track starting tonight. I will try to go back and update the big events of the last few months. :)
