December is almost here!

December is almost here! Can hardly believe how fast this year has gone! For the last 25 years our December has begun with our Anniversary! Well actually 24 years, because on December 1st at 6pm a the Baker City Church of the Nazarene we were married! How exciting to be married for 25 years! I have been married now to Bill longer than I lived at home! Having a moment to ponder the past 25 years, here are a few fun facts!

- Our first home was in Rochester Minnesota! We moved 4 times in the 14 months we lived in Minnesota.

- We have lived in Minnesota, Arizona, Georgia, and Washington.

- We have had two pets and several fish!

- We have had one motorcycle, and 8 cars; our least favorite was the red Corisca.

- We lived with Bill's parents for a few months when we first moved to Arizona...

- We have always bought a Christmas ornament to represent each year we have celebrated.

- I have kept most all of the Christmas cards we have gotten over the past 25 years! Fun to look back at each year!

Whew.... I will have to keep adding to this one, now that I am trying to think about them I can't remember all that I wanted to write!

Well, anyway, I have been thinking about all kinds of things today, and really it is just simply that fact that I have loved my husband Bill now for over 25 years, he is my best friend, he is my adovocate in times of need and he has and will continue to be by my side in every situation.

Today I am making a Advent Calendar that is made from Twigs and paper cones, it is pretty fun and creative. We have always had some kind of advent calendar, but this one I will fill the cones with Bible verses centered around the coming of Chirst and celebrating his birth!

This season is truly a time to reflect and a time to look forward to a new year!

I am so blessed in so many area's in my life....

I will write more and post a picture of our Advent Calendar for 2009.
