Dear 2010... September to December. The End.

Dear 2010,
Yep, this is the last of our memories with you. It really has been great. Who knows when we'll have another year as crazy, dynamic, unbelievable and jam packed? Oh, that's right, God knows. 2010, you're so smart.

- Kyle's sister Jennifer gets engaged to Zac!

Like a said, a year we'll never forget. God has truely truely blessed us this year. The times that we were most focused on what we wanted, the Lord had us wait so that when our prayers were fulfilled we had no choice but to give glory to him. The tent falling and what to do about the reception location, the honeymoon plans and driving all the way to Colorado, figuring out where a married couple would stay on camp in Colorado, a place to live in Texas, Brittany's job with the VA, Kyle's position as family camp manager...

The Lord provides for us in the good and bad, times of plenty and time of little and we learn to trust him more and more each day... or at least that is our prayer.

How was your 2010?

Coming soon...
1. The actual Christmas pictures to be soon downloaded from the camera, oops!
2. Maybe a blog by Kyle because I'll be busy thesis-ing.
3. Ooo, a good post I was thinking of just this morning :)
