Thank you, dear Father, for displaying yourself so realistically in my own little life. You are so much more than I can ever wrap my mind around, and yet you are my closest friend.





Andrew and I, three or so years ago. Funny story behind this picture. This was the night that a lady asked us if we were on a date. Abby and Josiah were there too, but apparently she thought we were doubling or something...anyway, I laughed and explained that I'm 5 years older than him. She wouldnt believe me until I got out my ID. Story of my life!



Me, Alyssa, Andrew. December 2010.
