I joined in on the Blizzard Blog hop via household6diva Feel free to check out the nearly 200 who are linked in so far.
My name is Nicole and I blog over at Be Anxious for Nothing . I have been at this blogging thing for a few years and love the opportunity it gives me to see other women wanting to be an encouragement to those they can even via the web.
I blog mostly about what matter to me, my family and my faith.
I have been married to my man for 16 + years and have 3 wonderful children.
I love the Ocean - here we are at the beautiful Outer Banks of NC.
We woke the children at 525 AM to see the sunrise and none of them even complained.
I can usually be found with some form of coffee with in a few feet of me.
I love sunrises and sunsets, and taking photos when the opportunity arrives.
We built our first home in 2009 and this past summer I grew my first 'tiny' garden. The tomatoes were a big hit.
This is the love of my life, we were at the beach once again - this time Ft. Stevens, Oregon. After being married 5 years my man decided to join the military at 30 and became and MP. We served in Germany for 3 years, then returned stateside landing in Washington state. After the birth of our 3rd child he decided to go back to civilian life. We are so blessed to know so many who still serve this country day in and out. God bless you all.
In my 'free' time I love to scrapbook, and blog.
I just recently began redoing my scrap/guest room and I cannot wait to get it all done so I can move onto the fun of having the room, not just organizing it.
Here are my 3 blessings - Andrew (nearly 15), Emma (now 13), and Addysen (6 days short of 6 - OH dear).
thanks for stopping by.

So 8 years of supporting a child? That is WONDERFUL! Not many people would keep such a long commitment. God bless you for YOUR beautiful heart!
The picture of that precious little child's hand still makes me cry every time I see it, too. I think that's why I keep pictures like that on here. I want to see those things daily so I don't slip into having an ungrateful attitude. I always want to be striving towards a more thankful heart. I also want to constantly remind myself that other people are out there suffering, and I need to care about them.
It was very nice "meeting" you today. I hope that we can keep in touch : )
Bless you friend!
Lots of love,
Laura
I love your picture with the sun in the corner. The Outer Banks is such a cool place!
