An Abundant Life.

What does an abundant life mean to you? Our minister gave us an assignment yesterday to take pictures this week of things that make our life abundant. Not meaning material things but people or things that make each day better.

I know a few things that definitely make my life more abundant; which are my family, friends and pets. I know those are sound very cliche but they are very true in my life. For anyone that knows who I am a smile and laughter is what truly makes my life more abundant. It is hard to go on throughout the day without a smile on my face. 

I will look forward to hearing what makes your lives more abundant throughout the week. 

Look for my picture later this week!

Welcome to the Gum Family!

After a hard loss last night we our through the first season of basketball at Republic. Steven did a great job with the JV boys and they came out with 15 wins! What an accomplishment for his first year.
No time to rest though because Monday starts the first day of Boys Tennis, which will go through the end of the year.
I am continuing to learn lots at Firehouse Pottery. I just finished 2 pieces today that I will show soon.  They will be sample pieces so other people can copy my design. Another piece that I am currently working on is a present that will be given to the couple in April. I am most excited about this piece and have been working on it for a about a week now.
