on a positive note . . .

My last blog was a bit negative about the whole Christmas/Holiday thing. I am excited for Christmas it just feels different. I will always always be fond of past memories . . . it's easier to look back and see the good than to see it right in front of you. And I choose to see the good in the now . . . not just the past. We are spending Christmas day with my sister Tiffany and her husband Dan and their son Aidrik. My other sister, Amy and her husband Jason are going to be there as well. I'm very excited and happy with the way the plans went this year . . . though other plans were in order, God is always in control and He has our best interest at heart. We were able to get a few presents together (the school budget is a tight one) and grandma and grandpa Matthews did more than their fair share of present buying for my boys . . . so that part will be fun too! We might still end up with a tree . . . you never know . .

Well, it's Saturday and I'm hoping to get down to the night service tonight for church. Still gotta talk the hubby into it. :) It's a bit spendy driving to Harrisburg for church but God has provided a means to do so every weekend. Crazy and wonderful to have a God that cares so much, even about the details of life!!


I just want to end this one with pics of my boys. :) Enjoy and a Merry Merry Christmas to all!!

Love your 'real' blogs about the good memories and the sadness about the family changes...ditto. I was inspired to blog a'Christmas past' type...it was good for me to make myself remember, even if it is also sad. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
