A Birthday and a Baby Shower
We celebrated Megan MacDonalds brithday this year by going out to Firebirds!
Here are som1e pictures from Megan Wagenhauser's Baby Shower. She looks so beautiful as a pregnant lady!:)
Citizen of the Year
The very next weekend we traveled back to the beach for a black tie dinner where my grandfather (Pops) won the Citizen of the Year award! This was a very special night and we enjoyed celebrating this great honor with our family.
Rainbows and Snow
This past month (January) I was amazed at the Lord's beautiful creation. One day I was driving home from work when I saw this HUGE rainbow across the sky. It was so amazing, I couldn't believe other people weren't pulling off of 40 just to take a long look at it. I was able to pull over for a mintute and take some pictures and then as I got back on 40 I continued to take pictures while driving...eeeek. I wouldn't suggest it.
Immediately following the rainbow was a beautiful sunset.
Also in January we made our annual trip to the beach for Mom, Micah and Kelli's Bday! 
The day after we returned home from the beach THE SNOW CAME!!! Daniel had to go into work :( I was glad not to be at work that day but was pouting because I was all by myself until 3 when he returned home. :)
This last photo was of the icicles that were hanging from Kellie and Micah's house.

A sound of sheer silence
Ok... so I know it has been way to long since we have posted anything. I have so much to say and so many pictures to post. I will at least get caught up very soon, I promise.
But for now, I will leave you with this...
"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest [be silent] in his love, he will joy over thee with singing" Zephaniah 3:17
Elijah was expecting God to speak to him in some powerful, jarring way. He thought he would experience Him in the rock-splitting wind or in an event off the Richter scale! When that didn't happen, he thought he would encounter Him at least in the fire. But, no, the Lord was not in any of these. Elijah heard God instead in a "gentle whisper." Another translation calls it "a sound of sheer silence." Often when we are facing a pressing difficulty, when we feel an urgent need of an answer from God, when our prayers seem to go unheard, we will feel anything but peaceful. We may question whether we have prayed properly or whether we have enough faith. But God is in that "sound of sheer silence" perhaps even more powerfully than if we would have had spectacular answers to our prayers. He is "being silent in his love." Our busy hearts can rest and be silent in Him, confident that whatever comes our way goes through the hand of our God who hears us and loves us more than we can imagine.
