10 Favorites from 2007

As 2008 approaches it's so fun to look back!!!

Thinking about the changes, the sad times,

the happy times. Remembering that...

"to every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heaven"

I've selected my 10 favorites layouts, at this moment,

in no particular order :)

One of the most exciting 2007 moments was this layout....

I rejoice.

Twelve years ago this day I had emergency surgery

to remove a baseball size tumor from my brain.

I remember my husband saying to me after,

"The Anesthesiologist said they lost you for a minute."

So today I rejoice in twelve *extra* years,

a happy marriage,

three incredible children,

an amazing family,

fabulous friends,

and God my saviour.
