February Anniversary party wherein we celebrated 25 years of marriage three months past our anniversary.
The sweetest thing was this video so fabulously created by our son with the help of the girls.
Second 2007 favorites would have to be the furry creature influx. Three baby animals, two of which are someone else's responsibility....good times.
Thirdly, the visit with Minnesota Maniacs...a bobsledding team that does not eat enough... was a great way to end up the year. This is an inside joke but trust me when I say it involved loads of food and even more laughter.Hmmm which family moments should I focus on? The Iowa State Fair held much fun and adventure as did the trip to LifeLight over Labor Day. I'll tie them for fourth.
Fifth? God's gift of words and thoughts when I felt overwhelmed when preparing for a speaker gig. He came through for me, big time. I was blessed. I hope the ladies were as well. This should be number one. Because not only did He come through for me with this. He comes through for me more often than I realize. He is beyond good to me. Snowflake revelations, blessings, blood, His Spirit, His heart and His mind. Wow. This entire post should be the top ten reasons I am grateful to God.
Snuggle times are interspersed within my top ten great moments. From wonderful back rubs to the sweet Mother's Day pedicure to just cuddling with those near and dear. I'll count them as number six.
Seventh. The Minnesota lake trip with Rob. Up one day, one night of rest, and back home again. Great conversation, a book shared, and time away from responsibility.
Eighth. This Christmas season was full of laughter, fun and sweetness, even sweeter than the fudge.
Meaningful gifts. From the Gopher II from Santa, to the fluffy pampering slippers, the amazing bookshelves, the roll of tape and the writers notebook for my purse. I can't even begin to share all of the gifts and details on why they meant so much. Definitely number nine.
Ten...the people who take valuable time to read my random thoughts and who keep coming back for more.
Thanks.

Okay, so the video made me cry. Even more than it made me laugh. Love the pics and the music and the fact that your son did this for you. So sweet. Ah, what pics can't say, and what can't be summed up in a video, but the fact is God has been faithful, hasn't he?
It did make me realize one thing. Maybe it's your cute little baby face or your cool, young voice in writing... but I always thought we were the same age. But I graduated in 89, so something doesn't add up:) Plus, I don't remember wearing some of those Eight is Enough fashions...
Love you!
Okay, Janet, you catch on fast...I've got 8 years on you. But don't tell anyone else. : )
I laughed and cried, too. Actually, I did last night when I watched it for the bazillionth time.
God is very, very faithful. That our son considers our marriage a blessing is a miracle in itself. We did not parent him in a bubble of safety and well-being.
Kelly,
No wonder I like coming here so often! You and your blog have been a gift to me this year! I look forward to 2008 in the world of blogging!
Kim
