hello, friends!
i hope your christmas was merry & bright!
we spent a week in arkansas, visiting & celebrating with friends & family.
it is nice to be home, though. we are unpacking our things & enjoying the last few days of the current year.

as we look to the new year, i am reminded of one of my favorite parts about keeping a blog… the ability to look back & reflect.
it reminds me of how i have grown individually, how luke & i have grown together & the memories we have made and will continue to make.
2010 has been full of both absolute joy & deep sadness.
still, i am thankful for all of it because i have learned so much in 2010.

over the next few days, i plan reflect on some of my favorite moments in photos.
let me know if you plan to do the same!
so… to begin!

a family retreat to lebanon, missouri. we stayed in a beautiful cabin & made resolutions for the new year.

a simple breakfast together spent in scripture & prayer.

a trip to kansas city in celebration of six months of marriage.

bright light after many months of darkness… little hints of spring.
