Hello There!

Well....Hello There! What a hiatus this has been. I haven't posted since April.  Life has been all kinds of wonderful the last 4 months. So many blessings and so many good experiences.

As some of you may know - John and I are expecting our first child in just a few weeks (due Oct 1). We are anxiously awaiting to meet our sweet son (it's a boy!), and just praying and hoping he comes to us safely.

This photo is from John's brother's wedding back in March. I really love this photo of us because we are just beaming with happiness.

The winter was long and hard for us this year. Lots of struggles in our family and personal lives that I don't need to delve into here.

But somehow out of the fog of winter the brightness of Spring emerges, and so does a new gift of hope and light and warmth.

I feel so very blessed and full of joy. I hope in my moments of weakness (even during the beautiful summer), I can remember the brightness that always can shine in our lives if we choose to see it. It is never really gone after all... even in the midst of wintery blues.
