It has been almost a year since I posted in this blog, and what a year it has been! Okay...last post was Easter time 2012 and my dad had just passed away and my big brother had just married his now wife of almost a year.  Let's get a quick run down of life since then...

-WBH and I are continuing to set up our home and loving every minute of it!

And here we are!  I know that most people find blogs without pictures unbearable, so I will post better pictures here!  WBH actually has a phone that takes decent pictures, so I will have to wait for a day that he is home and can get those guys up for you.

In all, it has been a crazywonderful year.  What a story! And even more, a testament to grace.  I hope to be able to keep you - mostly my mom :) - updated on what's going on in the Jones household and how God is blessing us daily.

Fight the good fight. One day at a time.

  1. wow what a year, Shelly dear! I smiled SO huge at that picture of you with the rock on your finger :) I remembered being at the Sims house and you seeing my engagement ring and asking the whole story.. and now I wish I could sit and listen to yours :) You're an amazing person, Shelly! And then I scrolled down and read what you said at your dad's funeral (again) and bawled (again). I just love you... that's basically it summed up in one tight little package.
