A year in photo review

It's been a while! Halloween, thanksgiving...it's almost Christmas! Time to get back in the saddle.

First off, I would like to officially welcome myself to the family of Apple products. "welcome!" While I was skeptical of this Mac kingdom that Andy raves about, a recent laptop death had us at the apple store earlier than expected. I caved. Might I entice you into the world of the iPad? It's not for everyone but it seems to fit my needs very well. Good stuff all around.

With that in mind I bring you to my year in review via iPhone - Apple product 2 of 3 for the Becks. Andy bought me this lovely trinket for my birthday the weekend before we left for Galveston. I realized recently that the pictures I've taken on the phones camera are actually quite a lovely review of our year here! So welcome to the highs and lows of year 1. Here goes...










The long haul! 1500 miles, two people, a cat and a dog.









Half way to Galveston! Chatanooga, TN after about 9 hours on the road. The pets were glad to be out of the car and away from each other!










A little home sickness...It's ok Nellie! You can bark at our new mailman!








Lots of homework! Harley = Andys taskmaster








Visits from family!








Thursday night scrabble with the girls. Or is it really "wine" night?









Volunteering at the Salvation Army.








Conquering fears :-)








Conquering atrocious summer heat








Dancing in the streets!







Embracing Texan pride :-)








A touch of sarcasm. Some days a bit more than a touch :-)








Planting new roots.








Snuggle fests.








Delighting in the little things







Delighting in the BIG things!








Many heart to hearts!







making lots of new friends!








And building hearts full of hope that our time to come in Galveston will build upon our first year in this grand journey!

Merry Christmas!
