Well, today is the one-year anniversary of my blog! Wow! It seems so long ago since I wrote my first post. Blogging has become such an enjoyable part of my life, and I hope to continue it for as long as I can.

I’d like to take a minute to thank you all so much for reading what I have to say, for all of your lovely comments (they totally make my day!), and for taking the time to stop by. I can’t tell you how much it means to me! I would also like to thank my brother, Wesley, for helping me with all of the “tech stuff” required for keeping and updating a blog. I really appreciate you, big brother!

God has been so gracious to me in every area of my life. It’s my prayer that He will be glorified in all of my blogging endeavors. I’ve found blogging to be such a pleasure from the very beginning, and I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy creating them! :)

Thank you again!

I am so blessed to have a sweet friendship with my cousin, Anna. We are only a year apart in age, and being the only granddaughters on the Noble side of our family, we’ve always been close.

Yesterday, Mom and I met Anna and my aunt Kathy in a town about halfway between our homes. We enjoyed lunch at a tea room together, and went shopping at an outlet nearby. It was so fun to catch up a bit, laugh, and have some girl time together!

Shoppin’ girls! :)

 Thank you so much for our time, Anna and Aunt Kathy! We had a blast with you! :)

As you know, Wesley has been gone for the last 8 weeks, working at a camp in Iowa (I did a post when dropping him off). Well, he arrived home yesterday! It is so great to have him home again.

Wesley had a blast being a counselor at camp! He enjoyed leading and mentoring many young boys throughout the summer. He also had fun and meaningful interaction with fellow counselors. On the weekends, Wesley stayed with some good friends of ours, and enjoyed their warm hospitality. Spending time with them was definitely a highlight for him! :)

Arriving home!!!!

 We were all SO excited to see him again!

It’s wonderful to have you back, Wesley. Welcome home!
