It snowed this week. Tracy and I took this picture at 2 am. The oleanders at the side of our home were bowed down with the weight of so much snow... It's the time of year to be thankful for all that we have. And I am.
This is our last Christmas in our home, so I took some pictures to remember it by.

No Christmas tree this year...the couch works just great!! And it's easier to decorate and take down!

The boys will be here Wednesday night. I can't wait to spend some quality time with them. Trace is finished with school and got great grades. I am so proud of him. Kyle is now driving a mini van at his job....what can I say? He says "it's the smart, responsible family man, type of vehicle"! At least he is safe and doing well.

There are many changes on the horizon for our entire family. I am feeling very bittersweet about many of them. I am thankful for a kind, loving, strong husband that sees that we are all taken care of and can bring joy to me each and every day....even if we live in a van down by the river!!!
