I actually decided to take pictures today that were from my real camera.
Not my flip phone.
WOAH!
What a difference.
So nice!
It did help to have the most handsome little subject!

Thanks
I am just sitting here on this sunny winter day, eating the most amazing soup our roommate made, and just being so thankful. I am so thankful for my families, so thankful for my husband and my baby. This year is bound to be great. For everyday we are experiencing more and more victories in our lives. Victories deep down. My husband told me today that he felt like we have grown closer in the past few days and I am forever thankful for that. Little Matthew just had is 9 month appointment and his growth is amazing me.
My husband and I are reading the bible together and I just can never get over how the bible starts. "in the beginning, God created." CREATED! I love that about our God. That he is a creator and he wants us to create. Creating makes me so happy and I am so thankful for my new sewing machine I got for Christmas. YAY! But more than that I am excited to see what is created this year in our lives and in the lives of those around us. We are starting off this year with a second car, (about 90% likely). A very huge blessing and very worthy to be noted. But it was because of a dear friend that we were able to get such a deal. If for some reason it does not happen, that is ok, I am still thankful.
I am remembering to enjoy my days as best I can with Jesus as my Joy giver through so many ways. Have such a blessed day everyone!

Books and Laughter
Today was great.
We all slept in till 8 - heavenly-
We then went to downtown royal oak and brought Matthew to our favorite place.
The bookstore.
The bookstore.
He is a lot more grabby for things these days which makes shopping more interesting, but fun for sure.
I'm not huge into New Years resolutions.
I typically am just not good at that kind of thing.
But something without a checklist or a written plan,
is that I would love to make more memories and laugh more this year.
Mike and I have been spending way more quality time together, talking, playing games, reading together.
We have a second car potential, and it looks like it might be on its way in a few days.
So that might help with getting out with Matthew a bit more.
I know it will be a smiling year!!!

A Holiday Update
ME: What is your favorite Holiday?
MIKE: ...........Yoooooou're birthday!
Christmas, My Birthday, and now its the New Year.
Christmas was great! We spent the Eve with Mikes family. It was a blast, they sure know how to have a good time. Mikes parents are just so good at putting together a good time and the house was very Christmasy. I think the best part was us all sitting in the hallway while Mikes mom read "The Night Before Christmas." It was the tradition since they were kids and still holds strong now.
Christmas was at my parents and it just ended up being a smooth day. With three young children it can go either way so a really smooth day. We were able to skype my sister and her husband in CA while we all opened presents from each other. It really was just a good day.
My birthday was so great. It started out being the most productive start to being 26. I got all the laundry done and folded and put away. There was so much of it. AND I organized the kitchen. Then my friend moved home from California, came over for the afternoon and then watched Matthew so Mike could take me out. It was our first date since our anniversary. It is funny how much less Birthday love you get when you don't have facebook. But it didnt bother me a bit and it was fun to see the friends that remembered to call despite a facebook reminder.
New Years Eve. HA! Well that ended up being interesting. Mike and I stayed home and lets just say it was an interesting evening. Lets just say that Jesus wanted to start out the New Year with a little freedom in my heart. And I am thankful for a husband that fought for me through it all. After that event, we only stayed up till 10:30 and missed my brother-in-law playing on New Years Rockin Eve (or day), but its all good. We are happy we went to bed early. We woke up refreshed and all went out to breakfast to start out the New Year. After a great message on courage over fear in our faith we headed home and watched the Lions get robbed of a touchdown, then I got almost a 2 hour nap (heaven) while Matthew and Mike went to hang out with Mike's parents. It really is a good start to the New year.

Our little man trying to figure out what meal he wanted to start out the New Year.
What a little stud.
