Week 64: Endings, Beginnings, One Constant.

 Christopher was able to come down from Seattle on Monday afternoon. We met up and went to the Museum of Glass and then dinner at Harbor Lights, one of our favorite restaurants.  Then we all went to the movie Into The Woods. We spoiled ourselves by going to a local theater that uses large Lazy Boy recliners for seating.

Sam flew back to Utah on Tuesday. We sure enjoyed having him here.

Though most days were rainy here, Sam did his best to bring us some "snow." He and his friends in Utah made some incredible paper snowflakes. I've hung them on the windows at the office and here at the apartment.

The other photos are a couple of shots from Zoo Lights at the Point Defiance Zoo.

We celebrated New Years Eve by going to the YMCA.  New Year's Day we went to the movie Unbroken. 

The highlight of the week was going to the Seattle Temple on Saturday. It's been too long since we were last able to go. There's just something rejuvenating and healing about the temple.

There's something rejuvenating about a new year as well. I've always loved January and a fresh start. Someone pointed out in Church today that with the Atonement, every day is a fresh start.  How grateful I am for the cleansing, enabling power of the Atonement. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ. As was so often expressed this Christmas season, He Is The Gift. He is my source of stability in good times and rough times. He is the rock. He is my anchor. He is the One Constant in our lives.
