Last week we cleared our pictures from Hubs's about-to-crash computer and put them on mine. It was a great time of looking back on our life together. I was surprised to see how much we've changed and decided to take you on a short journey of our years together.
Nov 2004: Our first visit to Kansas to meet the Taylor family.
Dec. 2004: Ice skating at Crown Center in Kansas City
March 2005: A trip to the Omaha Zoo is a must for all dating couples.
July 2005: Clabaugh vacation to Colorado - we had just gotten engaged!
July 2006: We honeymooned in Riveria Maya, Mexico. It was wonderful.
August 2007: Clabaugh vacation to Colorado - we walked to Starbucks almost every morning.
Nov 2007: Thanksgiving Day 5K race. Hubs got his wisdom teeth pulled 2 days before and it was 20 degrees out!
July 2008: Vacation in Hawaii!

Dec 2004: Our first Christmas in Kansas. We did some skeet shooting. Hubs loves the picture of me with all those shells around.

I've known Hubs for 4 1/2 years now, and my life prior to him seems sorta surreal. It seems like so much longer - in a good way. When I catch up with friends on facebook or look back through pictures, I hardly recognize myself. Do you ever feel like that?
I hope I have matured in all areas of life. And, looking back, I see how friends and experiences molded me into who I am now, but man do I see how far I still have to go!
I am really good at looking back and missing the past; and looking way ahead waiting for the future. But, purposeful life lived right now is what causes me to grow and become that woman I want to be. The last week has been lived without purpose, just going with the flow, and I realized how lazy, depressed, and self-absorbed I get.

This morning began a new day. A day of action. A day to reach out to others. A day to live for the Lord. A day lived on purpose, with a purpose. And, I feel better today.

Heather: How blessed we are to have you as part of our family here on earth and in HEAVEN! I do believe the Lord has great plans for you two as you continue to serve Him. Each day is a GIFT and we choose how to spend that GIFT.
Love- Joan
And this boldness we have in God’s presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what He wants, He hears us. If we know He hears us every time we ask Him, we know we have what we ask from Him. 1 John 5:14-15
I liked this post, Heath! =) It was fun to see how much you've changed over the years. I, too, have been challeneged with using each day as a "golden opportunity." Today is promised. Tomorrow is not.
Talk to you soon, Sarah
fun to see the pictures! I also like richard's hair in the starbucks pic...
now I feel shallow for not commenting on the spirtual aspect of this post.
