December 1

I always say I'm not going to do December Daily every year but here I am once again(thanks Ron lol)!

So I should start by saying HELLO BLOG lol!!

Well for my 1st DD I want to talk about my mother who raised us with having Christ not only

in our lives but holding Him close to our hearts. Growing up we would pull a scripture from this daily bread every morning. I so wanted to share this with my kids but was not sure if it was still around(remember that was about 20 yrs ago). But I found it at Vines and Branches and it still looked like a loaf of bread(our daily bread) I was so excited I could not wait to tell my mom about it. So I will be sharing the scriptures that the kids pull;)

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go."

-Psalm 23:8

Then on the way out to do running around here is one of the reasons

living in Alaska!

(also seeing Gods creation)

Yes its cold but hey we live in the most wonderful place.......

50th Anniversary.

Then the beginning of the affair.

It was a great compliment to hear

"It was like you were there you placement was right on"

I hope to put as many of family friends in the album.

It was like a wedding album my placement.

I even added some of these photo pages

just to add more pics.

This was my fav page just cause they took pics of

them laughing and just enjoying what every one

was saying about them both.

I have always said I prey before I do an album for other

people and God comes threw every time;)

makes it pretty special;)

Thank you to Mrs. Stiller for thinking

of Olivia during this award;)

would get called up to the stage..

When they were reading what Mrs. Stiller

wrote about them Olivia says "mom that was me I

helped Josh tie his shoes" and I said "they

may be talking about some else not you"

she looks at me and says "Oh yea probable"

all I could do is smile. Then they called

Daniel Sherk and Olivia Rodgers
