So here I am, outside the window, boom box held high singing In Your Eyes and hoping this time I can make it work...that I can stick with it!
One of these days I'll get my header updated (or I could just be really early for next Christmas, ha!!) One of these days, I am going to post pictures from our Christmas, not because you want to see them at this point, but because I want to post them.
So there, I blogged something, anything! Nope, it's not pretty & it's definitely not perfect...I just hope you all get the Say Anything reference & no one thinks I'm actually standing outside a window somewhere. ;-)
Oh, and because Say Anything makes me think of great love stories, here is a real life one for you...my dear & wonderful in-laws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last week!
Isn't this wedding photo beautiful!
God has blessed their marriage in many ways, including 3 children & 8 grandchildren...but the real blessing is the wonderful example they have set for all of us!
Happy Golden Anniversary Pop & Nana!
We love you & are so thankful for all you do for us!
(I will share more photos from our celebration dinner when I get back into a better blogging routine!)

Cute! I haven't had a chance to blog, either. Seasons..... Thankfully, blogging is a "nice to do", not a "got to do". I have missed your posts, but understand and will be ready to read when you can write. Blessings!!!
maybe you can't find time for more posts because you're so faithful at posting kind and encouraging and generous comments on other blogs! :)
alright, two things: 1. jeff is the exact image of his dad! 2. hello to a teeny-tiny waisted bride wearing a still-in-fashion dress! timeless for sure.
love posts about your kids and the fun craziness all five bring... and will wait patiently to see pics!
I sooo agree with Sarah - you have the gift of encouragement for sure. And I'll say that when I was waiting for the blog page to load - I thought that was a picture of you and Jeff!
Glad you're liking your IMAC - my blogging has been lacking too b/c the laptop that I load my pictures on is soooo slow - hopefully will be replacing soon:)
Oh Melanie...you have the gift of encouragement for sure!!! You are always blessing everyone with your sweet comments. Blog when you can girl!! And when you do--we'll be here ready to read!! Hugs!
Ha...ha...can I just say I laughed out very loud when I saw the Say Anything reference! Love that movie!!! :-)
I do miss your posts only b/c I love to hear all that is going on in the Howard home (and heart) and we don't get to catch up all that often. But I agree with Sarah that you spend so much time encouraging and uplifting others...its a wonder you have time for anything else!!! :-)
And what a beautiful legacy left to you and Jeff by his parents! Praise God for His faithfulness!!!
What an awesome legacy, Melanie. I love that your kids see you honoring your mother(s) and father(s). What an awesome lesson.
Also, as a side note, I was just going through and organizing some old files and came across the insert from the Moody Church membership presentation from June 25, 2000 (when Freeman became a member) and smiled, because I saw that was the day both you and Jeff also became members. It was just a little blast from the past. I got to thinking that although we only overlapped in YMYF for a few weeks/months, I've loved getting to know you through your blog--your heart for God and loving family (and awesome craftiness!).
