Happy Birthday Jared!!!

Dear Readers,

Yesterday was my dear brother's Birthday! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. I'm so proud of the young man he is becoming. He always wants to do what God would have him do, and always wants to help in any way he can! I can't imagine life without him. He always has a big smile on his face! I thank God so much for him!

Victoria, Jared and Me

(On Valentines)

While remodeling the house Jared was just a BIG help!

Jared also loves to be with his family, which is such a blessing!

Jared really wants be a godly young man and I can see how he wants to serve the Lord with all his heart!

This is the most recent picture of us.

I'm so blessed to see what God is doing in not only Jared's life but in all of ours!

Proverbs 17:17 says: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Your Friend,

Haviland~

We hope to have our PCS timeline soon, but until we have more information, I have been putting more effort into my homemaking habits. Since I began working more, I haven't been able to do as much as I would like in regard to making our apartment a home. Although I keep my home in tip-top shape, I feel like I haven't had much time to do anything special. It is now 2024, and I want to put more effort into my home and family. I have put together a few resources from other homemakers to build my own personal homemakers' binder. It helps me to be able to write things down and keep things organized. I used the "Digital Yearbook of Days" from MarmeeDear ...

We often take our home for granted. But when we steep ourselves in our home, a deep sense of place begins to emerge...Our homes will only be generous and nurturing as the effort we invest in them. All family members will carry the atmosphere we create in our homes for the rest of their lives." A RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME Half a cup of friendship, and a cup of thoughtfulness, creamed together with a pinch of powered tenderness, very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty with a cup of faith, one of hope, and one of charity. Be sure to add a spoonful of gaiety that sings, also the ability to laugh at the little things. Moisten with sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy, bake in good-natured ...
