Once Again, I'm Back....

I think I've already written a blog entry titled, "I'm Back"....but I'm doing it once again. It's been a crazy couple of months with wedding planning, holiday fun and work and the blog had to fall off of the to do list. From the start of this I never committed to perfection so I'm giving myself some grace and will get back on the saddle again. I think I'll just pick up where I left off....skip about 50 days and just jump back into my blessings :) Hope you haven't missed me tooooo much :)

3. Dreaming about our new home/life together

5. Friends that love you through various acts of selflessness and service
