Look what Tim did!






























After five months of dating, this is the first opportunity I have had to actually see Tim's face. However, I will admit that it is hard getting used to. I couldn't stop staring at him...even now I look at the pictures and have to remind myself it's him. Sure I have seen pictures of him without facial hair, but this is different- he looks like the guy in the pictures- I almost felt like I was cheating on him! hahaha :) With or without the hair, I love him just the same, and it is really nice to be able to see what a great smile he has. Anyway, just thought I would share Tim's new look with all of you.

To All the Wonderful People In My Life

Life is a theater so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life who need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships, and family!

Not everyone can be in your front row.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage, and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill? When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

Not everyone can be in your front row.

The more you seek God and the things of God, the more you seek quality; the more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God, the more you seek things honorable; the more you seek growth , peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

Not everyone can be in your front row.

You cannot change the people around you... but you can change the people you are around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life. Remember that front tow seats are for special and deserving people and those who sit in your front row should be chosen carefully.

Everyone can't be in your front row.

A not so big surprise

So this weekend I got a ride up to Twin Falls with Jared in an attempt to surprise Tim, but he already figured I was coming....oh well, it was fun anyway!
This is the new car. Tim was just checking to make sure everything was running smoothly.

It's a long way down...400 ft to be exact. WOW!!!! (yes I was terrified)



Did I mention it was snowing?



I got this somewhere around 300 ft or so...it took a little while to get going again, but I made it :)


Tim yells alot...anyone else notice? (Hehehe...love ya babe!)
