Anne (pronounced Annie)

Hi! So, I feel like I want to tell you about Anne!  She is a mixture of a great friend, sister, aunt (to my kids), daughter-like, awesome girl that hangs out with our family. She has quickly become part of the family.  The boys tell their friends that they have a sister...she is 19 and her name is Anne!!

So here is a very brief synopsis of how we connected. Anne's amazing mom (Mary Jo), who is partying in Heaven with Jesus, and I were good friends...and through a series of some of the hardest events of a lifetime, God brought Anne into my life to stay!  There...

Anne is 19.  She was born the year I graduated...now that makes me feel old! Now, as you can see I don't have any girls in my family or teenagers for that matter...so even though I have no idea how to maneuver this relationship, one thing I know is that God brought us together! :)  I am thankful for Anne and know that God has amazing things planned for her life.  I look forward to seeing His plan unfold for her! I know that God has woven our lives together for His glory!  I know that He is using Anne in my life to teach me how to love deeper, worry about my orderly house less, to not get so hung up on making sure my kids are perfect, and to laugh when my dinners aren't so good...even if Anne is over for dinner! :)  I am so darn self-conscious and I want to be more God-conscious!!!

Well, I better go now, but I will tell you more about Team Tabert later! :)
Oh and the crazy colors are just for Anne because she doesn't really like to match all the time, hence the unmatching colors! :)
In Christ,

Kristen
