The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Happy New Year to One and All!

We have now been home from San Diego for just about 24 hours. Our son's wedding was beautiful and perfect! We're still reliving the scenes and memories of our week with family and friends. It will not soon be forgotten.

We have gained a daughter and a whole new family bunch. They are a fun bunch of people that we are delighted to know and call "family" now.

2008 has begun, and we are looking forward to the changes it will bring into our lives. Here's to a brand new year and a wonderful new beginning for us and ours! Here's hoping you also enjoy a new beginning!

Happy New Year! Glad to hear the wedding went well. Will be looking forward to seeing some pictures. We have been praying for Larry's job situation and will continue to do so. Had a great visit from Doug, Stephanie and girls. We have about a foot of snow and it is piled up on the branches. Looks so beautiful! Will talk with you soon. Love Sandy
