Happy New Years

Happy New Year 2011

A very happy New Years...

It was indeed.

Dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory, with lots of Mombo Gelato...

First Knight Festival at the Provo Town Center,  Face painting, hair twisting, mask making...fun fun fun.

Dancing to the old bands,  the funky hip hop, and the

ultra Ethnic Indian circle.  Potty stops, tired yawns, below

eight degrees, icy, freezing roads.
Miracle awaiting us at home.

   

I wish I could do my hair like this every day:)

Our Joyful, energetic, embrace of the new year to come,

Was quickly humbled, when we came home six hours later,

to a home full of smoke, and noisy alarms,

and a gas stove that had been left on,

within the moment I first saw the smoke,

and walked to the stove,

a napkin lit on fire.

And we were safe,

besides the choking, daunting smoke,

everything was fine.

We all slept in our room...

actually most of us in the same bed,

a bit traumatized, a bit relieved,

and a million times more grateful,

for our home and all the memories it holds.

Thank you dear Heavenly Father for this miracle,

We will give thanks and praise,

by serving and loving and giving

to all of those who must wait for their miracle.

All our days.

All our days.


God Bless you all.
