Hey all…we will see if this works. I knocked out the idea of a full year video…I take too many pictures. It would end up being a 15 minute Humphries fest…
The music is by Always the Runner which Amos’ cousin Ian is a member of. Shout out to Ian:) I love this group!!! They are so cool…so go on iTunes and purchase, purchase, purchase…help out an independent band!!!
It has been a year of ups and downs to say the very least. I cried a lot (tears of joy and sadness) and I really do not cry that much, so that alone must mean that I am breaking down my own emotional walls:) whew.
I cried as I watched Jude graduate from Kindergarten. I cried again in the fall as my “baby” went to her first day of Kindergarten.
The news of friends losing their babies made me weep and I wanted to hold my own children tighter.
God answering many years of prayer by giving one more child to our dear friends after hope was almost gone, made me praise Him. THOSE tears were joyful, and there were many!!!
I watched my grandparents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. We all shed a few when my grandpa cried while talking about this little girl he met when they were 12 years old and later married when they were 18. I will never forget that moment and I hope my children, their spouses, my grandchildren, and even my great grandchildren will be able to watch Amos and I celebrate our 65th. Only 50 more years, baby!!!
When Amos’ mom became ill in the fall, we were concerned. And when she went into the hospital, we knew. I cried as I watched my young son break at the news of his grandma dying. My heart broke for my husband as he watched his mom’s health decline. He has lost both parents and that is something I know is down the road for me and I dread it. But the week of Thanksgiving, we celebrated her life. We cried heavily, and we laughed just as hard. It was a precious time with family.
2008 has been a life changing year in our home. The path of God is so unknown and there is no way to determine the terrain that is ahead. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in 2009. I am ready for whatever He brings.
But is it selfish to hope His path includes a trip to a sunny place? I mean, it’s like 5 degrees here with a wind chill of -20.

Cute video! I absolutely love several of the photos. I was kind of keeping track of my faves so that I could comment on them but there are too many, Miss Talented! BTW I am personally offended that you don’t love the Detroit snow. I mean who can beat black, dirty, snow chunked up on the side of the roads for weeks on end.
