1,000 Gifts

by amy

Joining blog-heroine, poet, brave mother of six, Ann Voskamp, at www.aholyexperience.com in giving thanks. Today starts my official list of 1,000. Planning on going way past that. Won’t you join me?

#1. Unexpected rain showers that water the earth. Even just a quick drink refreshes body and soul.

Soaked after a surprise rain storm in Latvia

#2. Pancakes on the weekends. No sugar, made with honey instead by my super-chef husband.

A breakfast made from the heart by beloved husband

#3. Our BWB – Big White Bed.

Snuggled up in the BWB

#4. Awaking every morning to cheerful babbling down the hall. Beloved husband and I linger in the BWB, hoping to get just a few extra minutes of quiet rest.

Morning smiles

#5. Being married to my best friend. Still amazed that dreams really do come true.

One of our last photos as a family of two, taken on my due date (and 31st birthday). He came 13 days later.
