Innocent Wonder

While us adults cowered for shelter during the downpour, this brave little lady ran out to jump, play and explore!

Little lessons in being married to a Marine...

I adore him. I truly do with all my heart... but why does he wait until bedtime to give me the gun safety lectures?

There goes...

Just in time for us to leave, it looks like they are expanding the neighborhood...

Happy New year

I am very much looking forward to this year. By God's grace, I will be experiencing some big things in the next 12 months!

We will be heading to our next duty station soon... And while I'll definitely miss it here and everyone we've met, I'm kind of excited to be in a new place and see what that has to offer.

Also, I am UBER excited to meet the new addition to our family... No, I'm not pregnant, yet. But I am going to be an auntie for the first time!! I love my brother and sis-in-law so much and I know they will be wonderful parents. I pray God blesses them so much through this experience... and maybe I'll learn a couple of things before it's my turn...

I hope to be more "others-centered" this year and find joy in giving of myself in whatever way I can.

And with all this, I really want this year to be a year of complete reliance on God. He proves again and again that He knows what we need, He will take care of us, and His grace is abundant for the times when I'm at the end of myself. With Him I know I can make 2011 a great year!
