Life is short
Lately it feels like this has been on my mind a lot... with the tragedy in Haiti, the woman who got hit walking her kids to the bus, and the newest... the missing woman. I pray for these people, their family & friends, and I am very hopeful for Jessica to return home safely. I don't take my life for granted, but this just makes me stop and think how luck we are to have each and everyday. Life is so short and it is scary how things can change so fast.
Favorite pics from the past...
Okay so lets get caught up to date.... Over the past 16 months my life has changed tremendously! We had our first baby, Sawyer, he has been quite a blessing in our family. Here are just a few favorite pics. (I have to learn how to post pics, so what better ones to do it with, ha.)
This is one of my fav. pics from About Image
First trip to the beach....
First Birthday! He loves Sweets
And finally last but not least, another love in my life, Charlie.
All for now.
