How can it be that we are at the end of another year?  2018 was a good year; it wasn't always easy but, it was a very good year.  I think the highlight of my year was our family vacation.  Honorable Mention:  The super-fun girls' trip Miranda and I took to see John Crist.  

I spent the last day of the year having lunch in Waxhaw with Christy and spending time visiting my Mom & Dad.  I'm really enjoying the time off from work.  I don't look forward to going back on Wednesday as I know there are going to be a lot of angry tenants who received big increases in their rent this month.  I am so thankful that it will be a short week.  

Blossom went to the Vet for her checkup.  She's scared...

Christmasversary

This Christmas, we celebrated Jesus' birth and Mom and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary.  

Mom and Dad were married Christmas Eve, 1958.  

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Blossom and Balto went to the Groomer yesterday.  I tried to get their attention with food so that they would look at the camera...it didn't work.

Mom's Good Report

Scott made pumpkin pancakes and Blossom wanted in on it.  

Is it Almost Summer Yet?

It's Sunday night; another weekend has come to an end.  My weekend started out very busy and ended very quietly.  Saturday, I had two parties to attend.  Those who know me will already know that is a lot of socializing for an introverted Julie.  I love being around my friends; just not all at once!  I don't know how much of that is being introverted and how much is having Social Anxiety Disorder. Or how much is just being Julie.  

Party #1:  Cat's Annual Christmas Ornament Exchange Party

I met Cat's family while serving at Elevation Church several years ago.  Suzanne (Cat's mom), Allison (Cat's sister), and Cat all served on the Sunday night hospitality team with me.  The Spantgos family are truly the salt of the earth.  I have never met a more generous family when it comes to helping those in need.

A Lot About Daniel

Aros got adopted last week! That makes my heart so happy.
