6th Anniversary

Last weekend Brandon and I were able to get away for the night and act like we were dating again. We took in a play in beautiful Ashland and spent some much needed time talking (without interuptions) and just walking around the lovely park there. It is amazing how quickly one can be refreshed. Thank you mom and dad for watching our darling munchkins and making it all possible. Here are a few pictures...

Trying to stay awake for the play (we are so old) :)

The cemetary we visited.
We go to one every anniversary and reconnect.

Apparently deer enjoy the cemetery as well.

Our annual (take a decent picture attempt without cutting off B's head)

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

I am blessed to call you Mom.
I love you!

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.


In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.


There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.


No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

In Christ Alone
