2008 - The year in review..everyone seems to be reflective like this, so I'm joining in. I didn't plan on doing a post right now.. but I'm enjoying a rare moment of .. 'hmmm.. what should I do?' .... Start the new book I've been saving? Journal? Think about what we loved in 2008? So here goes... Hot coffee and quiet house are such a nice combination. (the hot coffee is frequent, the quiet house - not so much!!)
Best memories:
Best memories:
- Lorrie and Paul's visit in January (especially enjoying our life-in-Hepburn with them!)
- Karen and Bry's visit in the Spring (especially because they brought Dustin and it was our first great visit with new baby Haily) (especially searching for pine cones on walks and going to the park with Eryka)
- Our summer trip to Manitoba - taking three days to do what we customarily do in one. stopping much along the way.
- Getting ready for the HMB Retreat with Lisa. Great conversations and insights.
- OTTER FALLS!!! (as always!)
- All sorts of Bethany things - students, growing in gift awareness, engaging and entering into the work of God there
- The Russell Inn - hoping this becomes an annual event. Laughter is good for the soul. So are sisters.
