Thanksgiving in Pictures

A pillow my cousin had made for his wife while he was serving us over seas

My dad, me and our cousin. It took my dad most of his life to connect with this side of the family. Who knew all the while he was also looking for us?! and that we lived in near cities?

My father and I, typical facebook photo

and last but not least, I picked up my holiday angel cards today. I chose 4 children off the Salvation Army tree in the mall. I have 2 boys and 2 girls this year, ranging from age 13-17. I hope I can bring a smile to their face on Christmas day.

XOXO


30 days of truth

Day 28: Not exactly sure WHAT I would do. I can say that I am without a doubt NOT ready for a child right now. I hope to be married for a bit before I even become pregnant but at the same time, if I did become pregnant, I'd accept that it was obviously meant to be, and get ready to embark on a new adventure in my life.
