in eternity

My good friend and former classmate, Aaron, and his wife, Bobbie, have recently started a blog about their upcoming adventure in moving to Uganda to serve missionaries.
From a recent blog post came this post, which I totally stole from them :)
Believe me, it is worth sharing!

In eternity it will not matter if supper was on the table in time, but it will matter if I met my husband at the door with joy in my heart.



It will not matter how clean my house was or if the laundry got folded, but it will matter if I made my children a priority everyday, giving them my time before my tasks.


It will not matter if my house was big or new or as nice as my friends’, but it will matter if my home was a haven of peace and safety for all who entered it.


It will not matter if my clothes were new or fashoinable or what size they were, but it will matter if my face was dressed in kindness toward all people.


It will not matter if my church attendance was perfect or how many committees I served on, but it will matter if I fulfilled the ministry God had for me alone, no matter how great or how humble.


God I pray that this is true of me and my heart every day!

it doesn't get any better than this!

Little Miss 1 year old!

There are several pictures that we have done 'progression' shots on, like the kiss picture, ones with Mylin's name in it, and this time with the basket we used in her newborn pictures
My mother-in-law also always makes something for Mylin to show off!
Check out her website here
To check out watching her grow rewind to our 3 month, 6 month, and 9 month pictures! (apparently I never posted her newborn!)

I love her more than anything else in this world - thank you God!!!!!

 And the sweet cuddly boys from our small group! There are 6 of them and only 1 little lady: Miss Mylin.  3 of our friends in the group are pregnant and Mylin and I have our fingers crossed for more girl friends!



silly...

Remember my post about Abby's wedding?
Well these goofy pictures are from that adventure

Joel and I were exhausted and up late enjoying other's company the night before the wedding
We were taking pictures of a lot of other people and realized we needed some of us!

So I got us all set up and snapped this...

Dangit Joel! Why are you a goon?!

So we set it up again and Joel snapped this...

And he was surprised that I ruined the 2nd one on purpose and I felt so victorious for pulling one over on him!!!!

So finally, a serious picture - that I absolutely love of the 2 of us!
