December 2020

We made it!  Phew 2020 crazy hard year

Our boys are bonding quite nicely.

It was hard to imagine this day when

we first brought Ara home.

Judah would hiss and growl at him.

So glad it worked out for them and us. 😺

Facebook had a little fun post that I participated in:

Met 2004

Dating 2004

Engaged 2006

Married 2007

Still Together 2020

I have been working hard on my exercise program.

For several weeks the scale never moved.

That was hard to stay the course.

But I persisted and I am starting to see results

13 LBS down since 9/28/2020

Pastor Jordan said this one week:

There is a CROSS in the way 

of every CROWN worth wearing.

Attempted selfie with Mr Judah HAH

December 7th

I will never forget when Gary and I visited Pearl Harbor.

Standing on the platform over top of the ship and knowing

the remains of the brave men and women were below

me in the deep.

Something that will stay with me forever

This type of sacrifice has no words.

You have to be very careful ~

look who snuck in and tried to steal

our Christmas

We were really missing our Christmas Extravaganza 

fun stuff we normally do.

Broadway shows

Rockettes

Christmas Tree

So we hopped in the car and figured we

would do drive by of some of the NYC sights

Here is the tree

Even the Lion at the Library is preparing for 2020.

It was strange and sad how empty NYC was.

Praying for the livelihood's of all these folks.

Then I was heart broken to hear of 

Charley Prides passing.

He was a part of my childhood.

I remember driving in my Uncle Bills

truck and both of singing along with his CD.

RIP Charley Pride

Kiss An Angel Good Morning

We went into the thrift store at my in-laws

Armenian church.

I feel in love with these Christmas balls. 💓

A sad day. I lost a dear former coworker and friend

to this horrible virus. Thank you Bob for being such a kind man.

For making me laugh everyday. When I started my job at 18 a

scared insecure young girl it made such a difference to have

supportive coworkers. And you were one of them. Oh that

super messy desk that made me nervous leaving you a note.

You would tell me "NO" to my customer inquiries and make me laugh

Yet you never let me down. We enjoyed talking all about your beautiful

Russian blue cats. And teasing you about driving those corvettes.

Thank you my friend Bob you were one of a kind

and my life was better for it.

Then we lost sweet Francis

Dearest lady ever. Here she

is in the pink hat with Lyn. 

Some one got caught in the act !

Cat bunk beds HAH

I love this photo

Says it all

What to do - What to do with this boy ?  

This year I made a Christmas tree with

our cards !

We had some snow!

Oh gosh the trees were beautiful.

Decided to get a little

festive for church today.

Still love my avatar HAH

Stopped by our office to exchange gifts

Our church always looks so beautiful at Christmas.

I look forward to it every year.

Its always consistent and brings comfort. !

I have been doing on line study with

Liz Curtis Higgs and it has been wonderful

Spoiled boys each have their own cat tree now

No more stressing who is on the top

Hubby completely surprised me with

the most beautiful bracelets

This one has my name in

Armenian

This boy enjoyed his "bird"   

See the feather HAH

Judah loved his bee

I made a pot roast in my crock pot

It turned our really delicious

My hope for 2021

I won't bow to idols, I'll stand strong

and worship You

And if it puts me in the fire,

I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too

I won't be formed by feelings,

I hold fast to what is true

If the cross brings transformation

then I'll be crucified with You

'Cause death is just the doorway

into resurrection life

And if I join You in Your suffering,

then I'll join You when You rise

And when You return in glory with

all the angels and the saints

My heart will still be singing,

my song will be the same

Oh! Christ be magnified

Let His praise arise

Christ be magnified in me

Oh! Christ be magnified

From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me

New Years Eve

We decided to make an

Armenian Feast

It was so good

I stayed up and had an on line service with our 

Pastor Jan and we shared communion.

It was a beautiful way to bring in the new year 2021

Hope in Him ♥
