Traditions Changed ~ Memories Made ~ Thank you given

Christmas 2010
was enjoyed
at our oldest son's.


The boys enjoyed
 hunting together
&

Mom & Dad
slipped off for a night
and celebrated a
 November anniversary.

(faithful friends please excuse my absence)
I would love to share all the photos
of our night spent in a nearby town,
 Natchitoches, LA.
I'm enjoying being back home
and putting things back in order here.

I will share these photos in larger form soon.
I would like to entice you to visit this beautiful town,
not far from where we were lived prior to moving.

I will share that I'm trying to reflect
~ on 2010 ~
&
anxiously waiting opportunities
~ for 2011~

It is amazing the journey that I have traveled
since July, through this blogging community.

Those who have become close friends,
laughed with & shared deep concerns
have truly been a blessing
and an encouragement to me.

~THANK YOU~
Karen

So thankful you enjoyed "hiding out" in the woods for the holidays! Obviously, blogging hasn't been my top priority in December therefore I have lots of catching up to do! Happy New Year to you and your family. I'm looking forward to all God has in store for 2011!
