Hold Fast

help is on the way

hold fast

He's come to save the day

one thing greater than my strife

is His grasp

so hold fast

seriously...

{this picture was taken from a website I found today ...
click on picture to read more about it}

this is unbelievable.

This guy ...

He sees me at my best.
He sees me at my very, very worst.

and yet ... he chooses to love me ... no matter what.


Tonight, he caught my attention.
Tonight, I watched him & smiled.
Tonight, I realized something.


I don't thank him enough for just being him.
I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate how hard he works.
I don't smile at him enough - just because.
I don't stop and look and admire him enough during the "rushing here and there and everywhere" of our busy life.

Ian.
My tall, quiet, dark haired, beautiful eyed husband.
My hard working, determined, caring husband.
My best friend, my confidant, my businessman with a passion for cattle.

I love him.

In fact, I more than love him.

From behind.

Some of my very favorite pictures of Mason were taken from behind.


Me ... watching him go.

Me ... seeing what he was seeing.

Me ... capturing life from his point of view.


I've started doing that with Mack ...

and I know they're going to be some of my favorites as well.

Good health.

Beautiful weather.

LOTS of activities.

{breakfast at Denny's, Funland Park, sorting pairs & then hauling them to summer pasture, irrigation, an evening fishing trip, lawn mowing, & even a little laundry}

I'm feeling like a new woman/wife/mama today ... Praise God!

and so... out of the 247 pictures today ... here are 13:
