It is so amazing to me how quickly time flies. My baby girl is 7 years old now! Here are a couple of pictures from her birthday.

2 months of craziness and some sad news.
Whew. The last two months have flown by. Here's an update on us in a nutshell:
I did start working more on my novel in November. I finished another 2-3 chapters, but I didn't get it done, mostly because all the writing I thought I was going to do by the pool in Mexico just. didn't. happen. Not surprising since we were there with the Cotys. We love them, but they are a "bad" influence. (Uno cervesa, por favor?) And yes, I stopped at uno.
Mexico was wonderful. 80 degrees and sunny, and according to our friends who live there, this was a cold front. Best cold front I've ever experienced! I doubt that I'll get around to posting pictures, but they are on facebook for anyone who's my friend over there.
The sad news is that at the beginning of December, my Gramma Johnson, got very sick with a staph infection and was not able to fight it off. She left us on December 12. The hole she has left in our family is huge, but I am comforted by the knowledge that I will see her again someday. One of these days, I'm planning to dedicate an entire post to telling you about how amazing she was and the influence that she and my grampa were to me personally, but I'm just not able to do that yet. I would probably just sob the entire time I was writing it, but watch for it sometime in the next few months.
We were able to survive the holidays, with somewhat less fanfare than usual, given the circumstances, but we all still were able to enjoy the small moments. Maybe even more so, knowing what we have lost.
So now we look ahead to 2010. I don't anticipate that life will slow down for the Meek family, but I do plan to take even more time than I usually do to find the joy in small things. I do hope that I will have more pleasant things to post about in the coming weeks.
Until next time,
Becca

NaNoWriMo and Mexico...
This month, I am attempting to finish the novel I started a couple of years ago. I signed up for NaNoWriMo, a website dedicated to National Novel Writing Month (November), which will hopefully keep me motivated to actually do some writing. So far, I've finished another two chapters, but I'm hoping to get some more work done by the pool....
in Mexico, where Jon and I will be in just four short days! We are headed to Fiesta, the NewFrontiers Mexico Leaders conference. We are very excited to go, especially since our best friends Brooke and Brad will be traveling with us. I know I'll have lots of pictures to post when I get back, and hopefully I'll have some more of my book done, too!
'Til next time,

{pictures}
I just placed an order through the Costco photo center for all my Disneyland pictures. I'll pick them up this afternoon, and then I'll have to get busy scrapping. Speaking of scrapping...my good friends Renee and Jami are at Scrap Camp right now. I'm so jealous. I know they are having an awesome time. Well, perhaps next weekend I'll be planning my very own little scrap camp right in my very own basement.
'Til next time,
Becca
