As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

{30 Days of Thanksgiving} Day 21



I am thankful for a day that we could continue a favorite tradition. 

It's a simple Christmas tradition that we have carried on for years. We call it Girls' Day Out. We go to Barnes and Noble and drink Starbucks holiday drinks. We peruse magazines as we sip. We chat. We take selfies. Then we browse the books. 

But now Kati is married and living far away. She and Andrew won't be home for Christmas this year. 

Soooo . . . we decided to go while she is home for Thanksgiving. Because, why not?!

Today was the day!






It was a day for memories and for making memories. So thankful for our time together!

    Happy day!

      So much better to tweak than to give it up! We are already talking about having the new baby along with us next year! ❤
