Hey Friends!!

Hey friends!!!! Is anyone still hanging in there and reading my blog? It's doubtful, probably just my faithful Dad! I haven't written a post in about a good solid month, so even though this is short, I thought I'd make a post this morning while I had a couple minutes.....



I bought some new running shoes last week- Mizzuno's. I love these running shoes! I used to use New Balance shoes but the soles wore out so quickly. Charlee is getting SO big and he has become my little running buddy. (As he gets older, he looks more and more like a little fox.) He can't quite run the full hour with me, but he's building up his endurance. We run all the time in the summer and spring, but I usually opt out in the winter because it hurts my lungs to run. I'm also volunteering with a non-profit program here in Atlanta, called "Girls on the Run." It is led by volunteer coaches that work with a group of girls from 3rd to 8th grade to prepare them for a 5K race at the end of the program. You also teach them about healthy living, self-respect and etc. So I'm excited to start that!



The weather in Atlanta is supposed to be fantastic this weekend and I'm so excited because we have a busy weekend planned!

Happy Friday friends!

Hello Friends!!

Hello friends! Goodness, we've been gone for so long and I just wanted to do a quick post. Life has been a rollercoaster ride since Thanksgiving and I haven't felt like blogging in a good while, but we're back and can't wait to catch up with you all. We've had bitter cold temperatures here in Atlanta the past few weeks and it is killing me!! Not having a yard and getting up at 5am with my dogs to walk them in 20 degree weather has been brutal with these temperatures. Of course, they are loving it and couldn't be happier with the weather.

Last night, rain came in and Charlee got to try on his new raincoat. My little man is really growing. It's hard to believe he'll be a year old in a few shorts months.



I decorated my place for Christmas right before Thanksgiving, way too early I know, but here are some shots...I just love Christmas time!



And I'm just loving my new wreath I got from Kirklands...



I had forgotten about these pictures from Thanksgiving at my aunt's house of Charlee and my cousin, Anna Carol. They were too precious not to post!







I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas next week! During Christmas time so many people look for true, inner peace through possessions, addictions, money and relationships but true peace isn't found in anything this world has to offer. True peace can only be found through a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. This is a lesson I think God is beating with me a stick over my head right now. I have a personal relationship but I've looked for so long at all the other things to fill my soul. Thank you, God, that your mercies are new every day! May you all have a wonderful Christmas!

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
