The Story of My Life

On the Jeep On the Ferry.   As I sit here inside on a day of ICE and cold, no one here or awake but me....I think about my life the past year.  I think of how much my life has changed and how much I HAVE changed. And it makes me happy.

We had such an amazing trip and the children - most all of them said that it was the best Christmas vacation EVER. What a blessing to hear the laughter and enjoy the company of those you love. We were heading to North Carolina to visit family and decided to suprise the kids with a few nights in the mountains.  We booked  cabin last minute late one evening.  The next morning, I called to confirm the reservation and the lady asked me if we had 4-wheel drive.  I asked her if we needed it and she informed me that there was 10 inches of snow on the ground at our cabin!  She assured me the main roads were fine and to come on up.  So we packed up and DID!
