Joy

It surely has been a while since we posted last. Time seems to have gone even faster since our last post. I think our motto this year has been Joy! Joy in our family, joy with our lovely home and projects outside to make our home more lovely, joy with each other, joy with Miss Lucy, our puppy, joy with and in our jobs,and at church, and with callings. It has been a journey this year and finding the joy in the journey has brought happiness, love, and peace, as well as satisfaction. How grateful to have the gospel in our lives, and blessings that come, as well as answers to prayers. I surely would be lost without our Savior, Jesus Christ, and his ATonement! HE makes up for all we cannot do on our own. I am beyond appreciation for James. He is amazing and just right for me! HE wors so hard, and is so good to me. I am grateful we could celebrate six years together in August, with our anniversary, and that we are married for time and eternity. wHat a gift that is, and that it is not over, when we die. AS you can see, my heart is full. Thank you for your friendship and support. We hope you had a Merry CHristmas, and a happy New Year! LOve, Shayla and James
