Now it is Christmas morning! (Well, it was when I started this) Drew and I just opened a few gifts from each other and now I am sitting here writing while he makes crepes and bacon! I told him I wanted to start some of our own traditions this year and that is what he wanted to do :) My husband making me crepes and bacon on Christmas morning sounds like a great tradition to me!
We wanted to share the many ways we were blessed over this past year and the things we are so thankful for. As we reflect that Jesus is the best gift we have ever been given we become even more aware of the amazing gifts that God gives us each day.
So here is our top 10 of 2010 (I stole that idea from my friend, Laura's Christmas card :)
1. We got to travel to Guatemala twice!
Once in March with family, and again in October with an amazing team of friends! We climbed a volcano, did VBS and construction at Kairos , spent time with local friends and got to visit Astrid, the sweet girl we sponsor through Compassion!
2. We traveled with Drew's family
to visit his grandparents in Oregon and I got to see where he spent the first year of his life :)
3. Drew got promoted
to a Builder at Oakwood Homes and at his Christmas party his boss told me he is their, "Superstar Builder" :)
4. We both turned 25 this year!
We were surrounded by amazing friends and family who made us feel so celebrated!
