First post!!!

We have finally started a blog!!!  When we first moved to Georgia, we had several people tell us that they couldn't wait till we started a blog.  Finally, over a year later, I found the time to sit down and figure it out!!  The last year here in Georgia has been a busy one!  We have been figuring out our new area, enjoying visits from good friends, meeting new people, making our new house feel like home, and, most of all, growing closer to God together.  

 

God has been teaching me, and the rest of us, a lot about giving thanks in all circumstances and finding joy in everyday life.  I read a quote once that said, 

 "Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life."

 

This is why we named our blog "Ordinary Moments, Extraordinary Memories" because when we look back the moments that are so special to us are the ones that seemed the most boring!!  When I look back at everyday life in Illinois, I remember working in the garden, stopping in on grandparents, game nights, baseball in the backyard, singing at the nursing home, and so much more!  They are treasured memories!!  It is saddening to think of how much we've taken for granted in life!! When you look at every day, every commonplace moment, as a beautiful gift from God, life becomes so much fuller in Him!!

 

This last year has been a journey full of tears and laughter and it has been good, not always easy but good!! We have had family weddings, our church moved locations, some of us got new jobs, we have been working on our house, and so much more!! We can't wait to watch the future years unfold and now we have a blog to document them!
