2011 coming to a close

Coming up on the end of any year is a time for reflection and contemplation. To reflect on the blessings the last year has brought us and to contemplate how to make next year better. I believe it is just human nature that we push ourselves to be better every year. I once heard a quote that said " Apathy is Suicide." Very powerful. God designed us to always move forward and to always better our selves.

I have been contemplating my new year's resolution. I want to lose 10 lbs (who doesn't lol), strengthen my walk with the Lord, Learn to connect with my children more (to be Very honest).

A lot has come & gone

Well It's been coming up on 6 months since I last posted. A ton has come & gone in this time. We moved into our amazing new home

Kinslee & Barrett's Birthday's came and went as we celebrated with our closest friends & amazing family.
 We have done quite a bit up work and upgrades on our new home. Painting, new lawns and flower beds, fencing. It's never ending really but we sure do love being homeowners. 
Thanksgiving was amazing as we got to spend it with my baby sister who lives on the opposite coast. It has been 2 years since we had seen her. It was such a great time.
 I made my first Thanksgiving dinner in our new home. It was great memories filled with fake mustaches, egg nog & rum, leftover turkey sandwiches, family, and movies

Well today is my 28th Birthday. Our family is celebrating by heading to Disneyland in less than 45 hours. I am so excited to spend the 4 days with my little family. Besides going to Oregon to visit family this will be our very first family vacation. I am so excited to see the park all decked out for xmas.
 Christmas is my all time favorite time of the year.   Forget about the presents, I could definitely leave all the presents out of it. We got our tree this year with only a minor mishap but it is beautiful.

Well I am off to clean rabbit hutches and off to Birthday supper. 

May God Bless all of you this Christmas season. I hope each and every one of you are able to see the real reason for this season.

Love,
Ashley
