So blessed

Hello? Anyone there?! I realize I haven't been the best blogger lately. Before my own relationship, I had noticed other bloggers becoming infrequent once they met the 'the person of their dreams'. I then purposed that I would make blogging a priority once I began a serious relationship. Ha.ha.ha Obviously that hasn't been the case! It's ok though, once God brings that special person into your life it's amazing how your priorities change :) I can't promise that I will become more frequent with blogging, but I will try to update you all when I can!

With the year coming to a close, very soon might I add, I look back over the year and see how many blessings God has bestowed upon me! 

The most obvious blessing would be Garrett :) It still amazes me how God has that perfect person for you and how He knows what you need, more than what you even think you need! We are so similar in so many areas, opposites definitely didn't attract in our relationship. Garrett is such a Godly, grounded man, sweet, handsome, thoughtful, caring, hard working......I could go on and on but I'll stop there ;) I am very thankful that God's timing is perfect and he gives us blessings far beyond what we even imagine! 

God has also blessed me with a wonderful, dream come true, job! I am a nanny to two sweet boys, a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old. My 2 1/2 year old (Julian) is a live wire and busy as a bee! He is super silly, loves to be tickled, and keeps me on my toes :) I've been caring for him for over a year and it has been fun to see him grow. My little man (Jonathan) is such a sweet baby. His big smile and gut laughter keeps us smiling throughout the day. Our little sunshine! I started watching him in September, of this year, and it's been fun to see him change. He's been sitting up, army crawling (almost full on crawling), and lifting himself up on things! These boys are my joy and I'm so thankful to have a job that I love!

Josh and Liz were able to visit this year, in October! It was soooo nice to be able to see my big brother and his wife, after over a year. I am so blessed to have a wonderful sis-in-law! They are doing well, in charge of the middle school group and Josh was just voted in as a deacon in their church! God has been blessing them and it's been neat to watch. While they were here we were able to get family pictures taken, by my talented Uncle. We were so pleased with how well they turned out! 

I could go on and on with how God has blessed in my life, this year! It sure hasn't been all peaches and cream but I'm thankful that God works his perfect will in each situation. His ways are always best! I am looking forward to see what's in store for 2014 and another year to serve my Lord! 

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.   -Psalms 68:19-
