Wherever He Leads, even on a vacation!

Our family theme is "Wherever He Leads". We were blessed enough to take a 5-day cruise to Mexico, sandwiched by a few days in Galveston Island, TX. Thank you to my wonderful parents for the a-w-e-s-o-m-e vacation that we could not have afforded on our own. God showed us some things while we were technology free for a number of days. Not complaining about being technology free; we had no choice but to enjoy ourselves! :-)

Here are a few visual aids to the highlights of our adventure! We very much miss the Ocean. Our God is an AWESOME God! We were able to experience some beauty that we cannot get our minds off of.











Staying Put.

Since Brandon has begun school and I am planning to start back next fall, our future, job-wise, house-wise, vehicle-wise, children-wise, is constantly on our minds. It is very important to us to better our lives, for our children, and for ourselves. We want to set an example for our children, and make our parents and grandparents proud! We also deeply desire to follow God's Will for our life together.

Putting our own desires aside we are working hard to follow God and to be more than content with our safe home, reliable vehicles, and blessed family. With this said, my goal for 2012 is to make it a year of success financially, to make some much needed improvements to our home and lot, including putting up a privacy fence, and to make a down deposit on our next family vacation. With lots of prayer, trust in God, faithfulness to church and tithing, careful budgeting, making sacrifices on unneccessary parts of our lives, and LOVE like no other (to God and each other) 2012 WILL be our year! We really desire to live up to our calling from above.

Thank You Lord Jesus for giving each of us a calling, I thank you for knowing mine, and I pray for each person who does not and I pray that they can seek you and know you to find their calling.
