Every day we realize more how much we have to be thankful for ~ the simple, wonderful,
seemingly little things in our life way out here on this island that… seriously blow. our. minds.
There really isn’t a more eloquent way to say it! This time here has been flying by {it’ll be a
year already in July! how is that even possible?!} and we don’t want to take a single day for
granted. God is SO good. We are utterly astounded by Him!
I’m linking this today to my lovely friend Sadie who has started writing down 1,000 things
she’s thankful for ! by New Years. Here’s a few of ours recently.. on an ever-growing list..

Also: two very sweet women – Corey & Jenn – are going to send a box of printed emails & letters to Jenn’s hubby & other marines who are currently deployed. They have opened it up to anyone who would like to say hi, thank you or send some encouragement or even your best jokes. Cam has told me before how much notes and letters mean when deployed – even from people you’ve never met. It can be such a boost to know they are appreciated for putting their lives on the line for us. If you’d like to, please send your message to operationletters@gmail.com.
They’ll be printed & sent out in June!
They’ll be printed & sent out in June!
