Happy New Year! May the new year be filled with God's blessings and peace for you and yours!

Merry Christmas!

This is a couple days late, but Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoyed your family and friends...Brian and I have just moved back to Texas and I plan to continue sharing our adventures with you as soon as I get access to my photos once again. Take care and I'll see you guys soon!
