Give Thanks: Friends

I am so very thankful for my friends.  I have spent a lot of time within the last couple years realizing who are my true friends and who are acquaintances.  There have been times that I have felt like an outsider as I continue on my walk with Christ and some of my friends go the complete opposite direction.  Have I lost some friends along the way, of course.  That's life but at the end of the day I continue to count my blessing for having amazing friends and thank God for having enough time left in life to make more!

HillsongNYC: December Update

To all my New Yorkers check out what is going on with HillsongNYC in the month of December!  All my single friends that claim that can't meet anyone in New York, you don't want to miss December 7th at the Brooklyn Bowl.  It will be the first step in finding yourself a nice Christian man!

Give Thanks: My Family

I have the most amazing family and I even married into a pretty cool family as well (God bless those people that do not get along with their in-laws).  I am so thankful for each and every member of my family for they each contribute to a part of who I am today.  There isn't a day that goes by when I don't talk to my Mom and get a text from my sister or a phone call from my brother.  It is amazing how the older you get the stronger the relationship with your siblings become.  

Wall Art

My dear friend Leigh and her family had given us one of the coolest wedding gifts ever.  It's a piece of wall art that says, Adam & Kearstin Harrington September 4, 2010.  Each letter in the name Harrington is actually a picture!  I absolutely love it.  I've been pondering what to do with it since I wanted it to go somewhere where everyone would see it.  However, I am absolutely no decorating sense; at all!  So instead of thinking too hard about it I ordered some picture frames from Pottery Barn and decided to hang a few photos and the wall art in our living room.  I am thrilled with the look of it (minus the 3/4 of an inch one picture frame is off).

Give Thanks: My Church Family

I won't get into too much detail but I am so thankful for my church family.  It is just an amazing feeling knowing that no matter what is going on in your life you can always turn to your church family.  Raising a family and being around people that share the same core values as you makes life much easier!  I am and will forever be thankful for all of our Christian friends that continue to help me on my walk with Jesus.

Celebration of Life

This weekend we made our way down to Cape Cod to celebrate Adam's grandfather, the late Ernest Dubois.  It was a gorgeous weekend and there was plenty of love that filled the air.  It was obvious that Ernest had a great sense of humor and was very well-liked from the poems and speeches by all of his children.  As the day went on and we continued to be surrounded by family and a few close friends, I realized that life is such an amazing gift given by God and we must treat it just as that; it must be appreciated in good times and bad and taken care of all day, everyday.
