I began this blog as a lenten journey but have decided to continue blogging. I hope it will continue to, just as the title suggests, encourage me to look around and see the blessings around us. I truly believe that when we stop and look around we see amazing things.

Time to play catch-up!
It has been several months since my last blog...I started it for lent and then stopped, but I miss it. So I am at it again. The last three months have been BUSY. I received my Masters in Education, our town remembered the one year anniversary of the tornado, and we have watched many softball games. An added bonus of softball is that we are able to keep in touch with people; my cousin Monica and I have not kept in touch very well and it has been literally years since spending time together; luckily she has a softball player so we have been able to see each other and catch up. When things like that happen, I always ask myself WHY did we lose touch and WHY didn't I take time to see her! Chloe became a teenager. Our family visited Big Cedar Lodge for a week in June; next to the beach it is our favorite place to vacation. While on that trip, we discovered geocaching and have been doing it as a family hobby. Last week we took a "one day vaca", as we call it, to Tulsa and visited the aquarium. College is on our mind a lot these days and Rick has developed a spreadsheet for Shelby to weigh her options. Rockhurst University is her number one pick at this point. We have visits scheduled for Fontbonne, Lindenwood, Washburn, and Newman University.
I am keeping this blog short and adding some pictures; just a catch-up and a promise for more frequent blogs.
