Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes!

We're grateful for our bodies! They are a miracle in and of themselves, to move, think, feel and so much more! We're grateful for our eyes to see, ears to hear, mouths to taste, noses to smell, and our hands and hearts to feel. We're grateful that each of our bodies are different and beautiful in their own way, yet so much the same.

Employment

Even before we were married, we've been blessed to have had work. Not all of our jobs were glamorous, but they paid the bills and our way through school. We're grateful for all the jobs we've had in the past, and the job Brett currently has that supports our family.

We got to "go to work with Brett" for the day!

Food and Water

With so many people who go hungry every day and have no clean water source, food and water is something we take for granted. Not only is our food delicious and fresh, and our water clean, but they are both plentiful. We truly are blessed to have been given "this day our daily bread."

...House and Home

Since buying our first house, it has gradually become our home. We're so grateful that Cade is able to grow up in a safe place and that we all have a roof over our heads that is warm and comfortable. We hope our home will always be a place that others will feel welcome to!

...Friends

"I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me, I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way."
~Edgar Albert Guest
Thank you to all of our friends!

... Our Health

Our family has been very fortunate to have had very little health problems. So far, no broken bones or stitches for Cade (although we don't expect that to last forever!), and neither of us have had emergency room visits for anything either! With so many diseases out there, we count ourselves blessed to have been free from any, thus far. We hope that no matter what may come our way, that we will remember the times we enjoyed good health.
