Mini Vacation

I love to be able to get away as a family.  With the changing family status, that can be difficult to achieve.  
For 3 years now Abs and I have been wanted to go to Niagara Falls.  Last week, we got our chance.  
Here are some photos:

The view from the American side.  Next to the American Falls. Viewing Canada.

I was actually able to straddle the line for 2 countries.  This is something that I have always wanted to do.

Fireworks!!!

We stopped at Letchworth State Park on the way home.

Hard Day

Yesterday was a hard day for me.  Can't really explain as to why but there was a lot of frustration and irritation over the least little things.
My constant throughout the day was to remember all the blessings in my life.  I went on a 30 minute walk and the entire time I was thanking the Lord for all that he has given me and done in my life.
It can be so easy to camp in the frustration and irritation but I was not allowing the enemy or my flesh, for that matter, to win.
Every victory is given to us my our Heavenly Father.  I know I could not have changed yesterday around on my own strentgh.  It was by inviting him into my presence that I was able to let go of all that I was feeling and change it around to be thankful and grateful.
So today, my day started way earlier than I wanted or expected.  (Especially since I did not fall asleep until 2:30a).  The maintenance guy that was due between 9a-12p came 2 1/2 hours earlier.  Needless to say when the phone rang at 7:13a, I was none too thrilled.  But as we are meant to do, I put on my big girl pants and started my day.  And what a beautiful, gorgeous, splendid day it is already.  Just look at this beauty.

At the Farm

Once again we had to change the day for horseback riding. We went with Mondays at 4. Let me just say it is a beautiful time to be here.
