Celebration #34: Celebrating a Selfless Man


George's 47th , originally uploaded by carolfoasia.

Terri White used to tell me, "Pray for a selfless man, Carol" when I was single, and God answered my prayer over and above what I would have ever hoped or dreamed for in a husband.

I celebrate my dear husband's 47th birthday. He is kind, gentle, funny, conversational, intellectually stimulating, loves God, loves me, loves our children, and is, oh so, handsome (not to mention TALL!).

Celebration #31: Julie Comes to Oregon

This was a highlight of the whole year. Julie and I spent four glorious days at the Oregon coast, and the weather was perfect! Julie and I have known each other for twelve years now since we met on the Sonlight Forums Boards! Since then, we have continued an online relationship and met in groups many times over the years. We talked, walked, cried, ate, and had a phenomenal time.

Here is the entire celebration: Julie Comes to Oregon!
