  "And life is a little weird.  And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love."  ~Robert Fulghum, True Love  And thus my story goes....at the start of this new year I was asked if Garrison Sanford could get to know me better and I him. I said yes....so, life went on with him coming over, talking, working together and so forth! Then to my surprise I was asked by Garrison if I would marry him on January 19th, 2013. My answer was the same as my first..I said yes!  "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without."  ~James C. Dobson God has indeed blessed me by sending me a Godly man who desires to live a life for Christ sake and for His kingdom! Not only that, I've known and loved his family for almost 7 years! My mind has been blown away by G...

I'm writing so that you might know what's come and gone! Life comes and goes....it's like a tornado of sorts. It seems like yesterday we moved here to Middle-Of, IL. My siblings are growing up; they're getting bigger, and there's no more "watching" them or changing diapers and all that jazz.... I'm now sitting here eating apples with peanut butter mainly because we are ALL of out bananas!!! This is very depressing for me, as I was looking forward to biting into that delicious not too sweet, slightly firm, tad bit green on the outside banana. I could go on and on about my love for them; but, I'm afraid that would bore you a bit. Eh???  I did almost walk three miles just to find a banana once! True story....that will have to wait until later. So, let me not get off subject. Onto the pictures!!  My hair is getting extra long; so, I've been trying out different hairstyles. Sometimes they turn out....other times not so much!  ...

You know that movie called "Inception"? Well, as we start to spin the top...this is Emma's dream. We are going to dive into her world...a dream inside of a dream! Emma loves pretty much everything about Africa. The giraffes, jeeps, wild life, safari, food, and most of all.....the elephants!! It has been her dream for over a year to go visit Africa and ride an elephant. And it being over a year means she is really EXTRA serious! Most kids like things for a few days...sometimes for a month. But, then it goes away and their focus is on something else! Not Emma!! She is still in love with elephants as much as she has been since the beginning! So....while the top is spinning, Emma is dreaming! =) Hop into the jeep, buckle your seat-belts (it might get a little bumpy), and let's start on our journey through the African Safari/Plains!!!! The two travelers.... Gorgeous view!!!  There was a point in time when I said I was planning on a photo s...
