Make sure to check out my Photography Photos and Challenges for today! Click HERE. One of my all time favorite Christian songs is The Anchor Holds.

I mentioned earlier, that we snagged some pretty awesome weather here on “the rock” this past weekend. We got a break from the dreary clouds and snow/rain mix and actually saw the sun shine! My hubs [being the fabulous man that he is] took me for a drive down by the bay. And I managed […]
