~Beautiful Life Friday~

It's a Beautiful Life Friday post!!

My life is really crazy blessed right now! Katie's wedding is in 8 more days! 8 more days!!!!! That's not very long! Do you know how much planning goes into a wedding? Let me tell you....A LOT! :)  

Earlier this week we were blessed to watch another family finally arrive home with their darling girl from Ethiopia! Here they are as they were just arriving!

~Beautiful Cindy and her darling little one, Gracie Lu.
~Just look at those big, wide, happy eyes! She is so precious and I cannot wait to see her again after her and her family have adjusted. Poor little thing was just getting over the chickenpox. Hey...good news though..that's one less shot! :)
~Karleigh Mei and Maliah awaiting their arrival! ( I swiped this photo from Maliah's mom, Cristie) :)

~My sweet boy Gannon. He's slowly turing into a man. Where have the years gone!?

~Today my girls (Katie and Lexie) left to go for a bachelorette party at a friend's lake house. I'm SURE they are going to have a super fun time. Lexie had to pick some photos of the two of them with a story to go with it and she also had to pick a Bible verse to give to her. I didn't ask which one she chose. sigh. But here is Lex with the photos she chose.

~ Here are some pics of them when they were leaving the house. Katie's friend, AlyRose, had decorated her car! Too cute! Karleigh Mei had to get in for the picture too! 

~The UPS man comes so consistently every day at nap time, that I decided to put a note on the doorbell. I love this sweet face, but nap time is mucho importante!!

Today I also got an email from myself that I wrote 3.5 yrs. ago. How crazy is that!!? Here is the email. The site that I did it at is called "future me" I think. 

Hello Me (Jennifer),
I found this site and thought it might be kinda fun to send myself an email to read in the future.  It is Monday, December 18, 2005.  The boys are outside playing right now.  The girls are off Christmas shopping.  Karl is at work.  We just got back yesterday from an awesome DC trip to visit Jim, Leonie and the boys, Tom and Eric.  Katie is home from college after just finishing up her first semester at ACU. Gannon and Lexie have tomorrow and Wed. left of school.  We plan on going to San Angelo on Christmas day, after our Christmas here at home.  And then we are going to Dallas to be with the entire **Family name taken out** clan.  Jennifer R. will be there too!  This Christmas the boys are getting golf clubs and a skateboard/bike ramp. Lexie is getting her purity ring and Katie is getting an iPod.  We are all very blessed, healthy and happy.  The boys were baptized Sunday before last, Dec. 11, 2005.  My prayer is that when I read this message again I'll be just as happy then as I am now.   Bye!!  :o)

How are you blessed today?
