Happy New Year (yes, it's late ;p)!!

We pray you have a blessed New Year!! 

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope 

by the power of the Holy Spirit."

 Romans 15:13 

Time with friends...

A few weeks ago Janelle and I along with some friends went to the Japanese Garden in Fresno. It was beautiful, I had never been there before! I think it would be really neat to go back in the spring, when all the flowers and trees are in bloom :) Here's a few pictures for you all...

This bridge was really neat, I love bridges... :)

We had so much fun taking pictures, talking, laughing (a whole lot!), eating a yummy lunch together, window shopping... and more :)

   

I'm so blessed to have all these wonderful girls in my life...!! 

Photo Challenge

A friend asked me to do a year long photo challenge with her, I haven't been able to successfully do something like this for a whole year before, but, decided to do it anyways!! I'm looking forward to doing it though, we are going to pick a different challenge that lists what to take a picture of each month, so I thought I'd post my pictures once a week or something, then whoever reads my blog can see them too. I've been wanting to improve on my photography skills also, so I think this will be the perfect opportunity :) 

January 1st - Resolution ~ I'm hoping to read the Bible through in 90 days using this reading plan, and would like to copy all of John and Proverbs into my journibles this year...

January 2nd - Warm ~ I just love a cup of hot cocoa to warm you up when it's chilly out...!

January 3rd - Snack ~ Tangerine, so yummy ; )
