Merry Christmas!

I have this odd love of designing our own Christmas cards. For years I made our own out of scrapbook paper, a picture, and usually a little letter in it.

Merry Christmas from The Sterks!

I am so thankful to be able to celebrate Christmas this year not in pain and not so out of it.

It is our Christ, our Living Hope, that we can cling to and ensure our hearts this season, rejoice!

An Outside Look

I realized that I have posted very few pictures of the outside of our new home! Even though we have done a lot of painting on the inside, there has also been much work done to the outside as well! We have cleared out brush, cut back the landscaping, and are working on the backyard….

The reality of moving is definitely starting to “move” in – not in a negative way though. We are just realizing that is a LOT to do before next Thursday, our official moving date. Most of the things we have to do, are things Dan and I just need to figure out :). We have…
