Before & After

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone already. It went SO FAST but these past few weeks have been a joyous time of tons of family, friends, food, reading, and no work (well at least not at the office)

When I came home from work on my birthday, I found a pretty little box on the table. A gift from my sweet husband

AFTER
 He is such a blessing to me. And not just because he picks out incredible gifts but because the Lord is using him to cause me to be a better, more Christ-like person. I now understand what people mean when they say that. Marriage has an incredible purpose to help us change and become sanctified and now...I UNDERSTAND. And oh my am I thankful for a husband!

Ok, sorry. I got a little distracted thinking about how blessed I am by my wonderful husband.




 
On New Year's Day my Aunt Mary made my grandmother's doughnut recipe. We had potatoe doughnuts as well as German Drop doughnuts. It was fun being able to watch these being made (and of course sample :)

YUM!



But not all was fun and games. We also bought a used dresser and made it our own

A little bit of work and it looks so much better! And for a much better price than buying it at a furniture store.
