At least a week...

Originally I was thinking about doing a month of Valentines, but we'll see how that goes. When I was younger my dad used to leave gifts in my desk each day of the week that we had Valentines. When I was older he actually had flowers delivered to me! That was an amazing surprise. I had a flashback to those days when Scott and I watched "Courageous". The part where the dad took his daughter to a nice restaurant and gave her the ring. I remember picking out my ring with my dad and how special it was to be able to give Scott that ring on our wedding day. Last year a lot of my plans were put together at the last minute. It turned out pretty well, but I thought that we'd try to do crafts and baking to make it a special month. February is usually one of the longest months for us, even though it has the least days. Funny, eh? So, we'll see how it goes, but I'll try to post pics of the special things we do over the next month. January seemed to go by pretty quickly and I can only hope that February does too. One step closer to Spring!

P.S.

I almost forgot! We were also able to adjust the elastic in a skirt that was given to Elyssia. I think I'll wait til I can take a picture of her wearing it and post it then:).

A Picture Worth Sharing

My dad is the one in the middle. The young couple is Mike and Kim Dolan. They are the family I asked prayer for. Much time has passed since this picture was taken, but they've all faithfully served the Lord all these years. Mrs. Dolan was my dad's secretary until he died and Bro. Dolan was the songleader/choir director whenever he was stationed on the island. Then from the time he retired until this past year when he got cancer. I'm thinking it's going to be a wonderful reunion when Bro. Dolan gets there. He will be met by the Lord with a "Well done thou good and faithful servant" and then by those who've gone on before him. Dad, his mom, Mitch Foster, my grandpa, Al Reid, Kay Dunnam, Elizabeth Foor, Coleen Augle and many, many others that we love. To think of them singing in the Heavenly choir, even those who couldn't sing down here on earth(like Dad:). What a day that will be! Much love and prayers to the Dolan family as they go through these last days with this wonderful man of God, who will be greatly missed.
