Lexi was a Pop Star this year and rocked it!! She came up with her own costume idea and Jason and I helped bring it to life. We bought the costume at Toys R Us, bought some pink and purple hair spray, and she decided to wear her star clip, sparkly boots, jewelry, and brought her microphone along. She is SO spunky and I love it!! We went house to house and she said, "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" in her microphone. After we went around the block (remember, Lexi does not like candy so we don't want a lot in this house because J and I will end up eating it!) we sat at the end of our driveway and Lexi passed out candy. She really liked that part too! It was a great Halloween and Lexi is already looking forward to dressing up again next year. :)
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
