Hope Street

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation, He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  Psalms 62:5-6

 

My HOPE for 2012 is to ...

~ spend less and save/earn more

~ continue my journey with Weight Watchers

~ continue to strengthen my marriage

~ expand my photography business

~ stay more organized and not let needless clutter pile up

~ build 2 really good friendships

~ craft more

~ stress less

It's not a long list and some of the things listed I'm already working on, so attaining them or continuing to attain them is possible.  If fact anything is possible as long as you believe!  I do.

B & B

This is a mosaic print I created at Big Huge Labs that encompasses pictures of my son "B" and his best friend "B".  I gave it to the boys along with a video for Christmas.  They have been friends since birth and have such an amazing friendship.  They can agree to disagree, and it never gets to the point where they won't talk to each other.  The best part about their friendship is that I've been able to see how it has grown and strengthened over the years.  The past 11 years have been an amazing journey to watch.  I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them! 

That's a Wrap

My night consisted of wrapping presents and entertaining a very excited 11-year old! I'm surprised he actually fell asleep.  I can't imagine what tomorrow will be like?
