Pure Delight {Wordless Wednesday}

No words really needed here... just LOVING the expressions of joy that only kids can show!

Saying goodbye before I've said hello

*** Note *** I started writing the post below a month ago.  For a variety of reasons ranging from being extremely busy to just simply not knowing how to put what I'm feeling in words, I haven't finished it.  I've realized, however, that my lack of blogging is a result of not sharing this... my "elephant in the room" - so to speak.  I need to move past this, but to move past it... I need to finish processing it.

You would think at this point I would be good at saying goodbye before we've even had a chance to say hello... But I'm not.

Nine Years!

Nine years ago I married my best friend.  I can't believe where the last nine years have brought us and look forward to many, many more!!

I love you, HB's!

Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th of July!! Regardless of your feelings of the current state of our great country, yesterday was a day to celebrate!!!

Things were pretty low-key at our house.  Our plans had included a trip to visit my folks in south Idaho (leaving Wednesday morning).  It was going to be a fun time with all four of us girls home and crammed into one house - 15 of us!
