Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of joy and enough Happy moments to fill your scrap books!

Here are a few things from 2012 that I am thankful for or was a memorable occasion for me ;) Not in order just as this web site would let me post.....

-My Parents! My brother & sister! All of my extended Family. Gary's Family.

- Gary's Dad got saved! Filled with the Holy Ghost! and Baptized!

 -"Finally reached my weight loss goal" after 14 yrs...now the hard part, Staying there! 

2007-I think this was my heaviest weight, hard for me to look at let alone post!

My "Normal" weight

Christmas 2012- My Goal weight

. I am thankful for the people in my life that love me no matter what I look like, not everybody is as blessed. For myself, the best way to describe it is to say this is the first time anybody has seen that picture of Jadyn and I, I hope I never get to the place where I am ashamed to take a picture taken with my kids, again....not that I am Supermodel...okay, I will be honest, I am not even Big Lots model gorgeous now but, at least  I don't have to hide our Christmas pictures ;)
(And don't leave any comments telling me you think I am beautiful, your family, or like family if your reading this so, I know you are blinded by love! hehe!)

-My Little Family 

Perfectly Imperfect! (I should add the photographer and his beautiful Wife in my list of thankful for's! My SIL Lori, and BIL, Dave!)

Our New Pastor and his family!!!!

Pastor & Teresa with the Board 2012

-Gary has a job. Oh! and I have one too now....almost forgot been so long since I had a job outside the home! I am very thankful for my job, right now I LOVE what I am doing. Really like the people I am working for and with!  Praying that when this position ends another one like it will come along! I even miss the kids on this Christmas break and I have only been there 6 weeks....just very blessed to have been able to do something I like so well!

- For all the new friends in our lives and our new church family at Full Gospel. They have been sooo good to us, I can't express how thankful I am for them, nor how loved they have made us feel. Sometimes, I will get a text or a  FB or just a hug or kind word when I need it most, and I thank God that when we had to leave Dryden Road, He placed us with kind and loving people!

- Our Long time friends we miss sooooo much! :( 
-And our church family of 20+ yrs, Dryden Road Pentecostal Church
-BRO. BENNIE!!!!!

  I really miss IOA! I miss Michael's awesome bass, I miss Kevin's & Andrew's drum skills, and I miss Bethany's piano magic....I am so not a replacement for 1 of them let alone, all 3!!!

My Lil' Sis & I!

Holly B and Amanda!

Bev & Steph!

-As always, Thankful for our Home!

Words can't express how thankful I am. We have been in this house for a little more than 1 year now and sometimes I still wonder at how God worked it all out.....So thankful he did though!

Most of all, thankful for Salvation, for the Savior, peace of mind, a Heavenly Father, and the Holy Ghost, for a Heaven to go to when this life is over....Thankful for the things I never think to thank Him for, Breath in my lungs, the beat of my heart, a roof over my head and a nice warm bed speaking of..... I have spent the last 2 hrs blogging....I am well into 2013 now! And SLEEPY!
Love to you all,
Jamie
