Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...
I love the Christmas songs...I love the Christmas movies on TCM...I love that there is snow on the ground in December only...I love watching the girls get excited about the Holiday.
Today we were watching TCM and they had a special about Christmas movies, I kept saying "Ohhhh that one is my favorite!" Chris and Tressa said "Mom every one of the movies has been your favorite!" Hey it is hard to choose, but when the Gremlins came on I did not say that was my favorite! Who can't make it through Christmas without watching the "Bishops Wife," "Christmas in Connecticut," "Holiday Affair," "Shop Around the Corner," or MY FAVORITE....REALLY... "Remember the Night." I think I did a blog on that movie a couple of years ago, but if you grew up in Wabash County you must watch that movie!
Praise the Lord I am able to say, we have had an awesome year and we have been blessed by God with a healthy family, great friends and neighbors and wonderful opportunities to travel and see Gods splendor. We wish you the best in 2014, look forward to the memories to be made. Here are some of our favorite memories from 2013...

Me and Tim...
Well, where do I start? I call it the Tim McGraw effect, think positive and it will happen. I think the pictures tell it all and it is such a long story I can't tell you all of it, so here it is in a shorten version.
God is good, all the time, all the time God is good!
Well that's part of it, okay let me try this again...
Trip to Vegas to see Tim and Faith in concert, stayed at the BEAUTIFUL Venetian, had spa day on the morning of the concert, AWESOME spa (134,000 sq ft, 98 massage rooms) it was so relaxing! On my way back to the room I met Tim in the hall and briefly talked to him, he was leaving the gym and he looked great, reminded me of Chris. I told him I was going to his concert and it was my birthday, I was so star struck that I did not ask for a picture or autograph, I couldn't believe it! That night at the concert when he walked down our aisle I yelled out to him and he remembered me and shook my hand, I mean could it get any better? Yes, it could...
Half way through the concert Tim ended a song by announcing that he wanted to wish a young lady a "Happy 25th Birthday!" I was thinking "crap someone else has a birthday," but when he started coming down our aisle I chanced it and stood up and yelled (of course I did). That's when he said "there she is I met her today as we were leaving the gym," the rest is history...I received a signed guitar from Tim and as you can see I took the microphone and informed the crowd how wonderful Tim was (Faith too) and how I couldn't believe this was happening.
To be honest I have told this story to some people and it makes them smile, laugh and I thought to myself how wonderful it must be to affects peoples lives, to make a difference in someone's life as Mr. McGraw did. It makes me want to give more to help others, I hope that I do...
