"And you will have joy and gladness,
and many will rejoice at His birth."
Luke 1:14
I thought I'd get you up to date a little,
although I don't have wedding pictures yet.
I will post them and pictures from our
Heart & Keeper Bridal Breakfast soon.
Kim and I just got home from New York
where we visited my girlfriend Jackie,
we have been friends since the 4th grade,
we both made a commitment to the Lord when we went to church camp
together in middle school and have stayed connected all these years.
We are at Madison Square Gardens where we enjoyed
"A Night of Celebration"
with Pastor David Jeremiah
He has a new study Bible out that I highly recommend
called The Jeremiah Study Bible.
The tree was up in Rockefeller Center.
It was cold, very cold and it made us look forward to getting home
and decorating our own tree for this Saturdays Christmas Open House!
But before we headed home we visited Princeton,
when we go there we always have breakfast at PJ's.
We headed out of town just before a snow storm hit!
And good thing cuz I have some decorating to do before our Open House.
I decided to decorate the garland around our fireplace with
Heart & Keeper treasures sooooooo
Today I gathered up some of my favorite H & K pictures from our 10 years together,
you will find ones of all three of our trips to Montana,
our retreats with our girls,
and yes the PLATE!!! Who has the plate??
Even Wedding pictures!
I put them on these light brown tags
I purchased at Michael's,
I collected all the ornaments we've exchanged over the years
and hope you will enjoy looking at them on Saturday!
Here's a Montana postcard and a picture from last years trip with our husbands,
the picture is all of us in front of the Chapel at Burnt Fork Ranch.
A heart from Lyn
Ice skates from Linda J.
Ruth's handmade ornaments.
Some of Chrissy and Melony's handmade ornaments.
The ball has a colorful peacock feather in it
and the birds have glittered tails with old hymn pages for background.
and....
WEDDING pictures!
I used them for last years retreat to Montana,
these are all hanging on my garland ready to greet you!

Last picture. Can anyone tell me what this paper chain of girls is from?
It is when I first met Joni and Laura. They were down for a visit and we invited them
to join us for one of our H & K gatherings at T.J. and Chelsea.
Joni jumped in with a wonderful devotion and this paper chain was a part of what she shared,
I cherish it!

Love all of the pictures Mom! They're great! Also, I think the heart and keeper girl chain is from an event at the Miller's house?
Awwwww!! Such great memories Linda!! I just treasure your east coast visits and wish that I could join in the fun out west on Saturday. Or maybe your H&K gals need to come out east with you sometime?! :) What a great group of gals you all are! Enjoy your holidays as we celebrate and worship our Savior!
