Simply Life

On December 23, 2005 my mom, hubby, and I went to see the V.V. Lakes Christmas Lights display. It was so nice. Of course, we took bunches of pictures! There are waterfalls and lakes all around. It wasn't a huge display. But, they had a WHOLE bunch of lights in the little bit of ground they have.
Last year, we went looking at Christmas lights. It was memorable too. At the time, my hubby worked for a transportation company and he borrowed the limo. He chauvered us around looking at lights the whole night. Our whole gang of family went. Marty (his brother), Shelly, their children, his dad, my mom, and Betty (who ended up being our mother-in-law) That was a good surprise for 2005. There are a lot of things I am thankful for. So, here's my list.

Jesus--
Always He is with me. Guiding me when I am more fearful than faithful. He truly is the reason I live. The reason I am free.

My husband--
He loves me without question. I never quite understand it fully. He truly has been my best friend since I was a teenager. I am so blessed that God has given us each other. What a gift! 9 years of marriage have flown by...

My mom--
Not many people can say that they are this close to a parent. But, I am. Maybe it comes from the fact that I am her only (and favorite, I might add) daughter. She has been there for me for, oh about, 29 years now. We've been through a bunch of stuff together, both good and not so good. I love her with all my heart!

My friends (both offline and online)--
As you know, I am a little kooky sometimes. You stick with me through it all! I love your humor and friendship more than you may know. Thank you!

My job--
Even though I complain sometimes, I know that I am blessed to even have a job. There are so many who desperately want one.

Freedom from debt--
Selling our house has enabled us to pay off so much debt; our cars, and more. What an enormous relief it's been.

And so many more...but I am sleepy and must go to bed. NOW or else I will be up until 1 am. Oh wait, it's 1:30 am already. Um. I mean 2 am!! Hee hee!!  :o)
