2 years?!

By Mariya
How time flies! I cannot believe it's been 2 years since I have posted anything on this blog. I really want to be consistent with posting and connect with my favorite girls in sharing special life moments and events. 

I am currently sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops, Anthem, in Puyallup, sipping on my favorite drink (white mocha) and working on this blog. 

I would like to share some big events that have happened since the beginning of this year.

Well, first off, I really want to share some pictures from Vicki's 25th birthday celebration in Lincoln City in December. Vicki rented a beautiful house for a weekend getaway to celebrate her birthday with her close friends. I am so honored to be in her life and am grateful to share this big event in her life. I also made a small video that will be linked below.
January: New year~
6th-Visited Leavenworth with Tanya and Yuriy for a day and had a blast playing in the snow and drinking coffee. 


25th-Our dear Kat's 25th birthday! Celebrated a couple days before at one of our favorite places in Petite Provence. 

February: Favorite month, of course~
20th-Celebrated my 24th birthday and my parents 25th anniversary on a Princess Cruise to Mexico for 5 days. 



March: Beginning of spring~
5th-My beautiful sister Tanya's 23rd birthday. Celebrated Tanya with a trip to Victoria, BC with mama. Stayed right in downtown exploring the beautiful island. 



**Side note, I just noticed that all 4 of our birthday's fall within 4 consecutive months! (Dec-March) So cool. 


April: Bridal shower~
28th-Celebrated our dear Katusha with throwing her a surprise shower at Anna's house. Such a wonderful time spent together with family and church friends. 


May: Wedding~
19th-And just like that, Katya got married on a beautiful, sunny Saturday and off she went on her honeymoon! We had an amazing time with the bridal party celebrating the union of 2 friends. May God bless you two as you learn how to live and glorify God in this new stage in your life. May Rhode Island become your new home and I cannot wait to visit you! 

   

26th-28th-Visited Leavenworth for the Memorial weekend with Tan and Vicki. 

June: Summer finally~
1st-4th-Summer is my absolute favorite season, especially living in the rainy and cloudy state of Washington. Took a great weekend trip with my sister and mama to San Diego. Explored the beaches, ate delicious food, and made a lot of great memories with my ladies.




*** I cannot believe half a year is gone. I am so excited to see what God has in store for me for the future and am excited to enjoy summer right around the corner.

A time to be grateful

By
Ecclesiastes in chapter 3 once said: To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep,      And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,      And a time to dance; A time to gain,      And a time to lose; A time to keep,      And a time to throw away; A time to love,      And a time to hate; A time of war,      And a time of peace. I’m very glad that in our country we still celebrate Thanksgiving Day and that God gives us peace.   It seems that the more we live, the more the world will be distracted from the true meaning of this day and become unthankful.   I’m grateful to pause and again reflect on the innumerable blessings and gifts God gives me in my life!   Seeing myself a sinner and the power of God’s work through the Gospel again confirms to me how much my Father loves me.   All praise to Him.  I want to specifically mention three things I’m grateful for: My amazing and supportive family: our home is the blessed enviro

It's Been a Minute

Well, its fall and life is finally calming down. Somehow, completely unplanned, I ended up with a fairly busy summer that seems to just have flown straight past me. I remember wishing summer would be over fast while I was in the midst of it, but looking back now I can't figure out where it's gone. I spent the majority of my summer reading, listening to podcasts, getting comfortable at my new job and settling into my new home. On top of that I ended up joining my brother in his coffee catering endeavors and really enjoyed getting to work with Lucid Coffee Catering at various weddings in the area. I've really been enjoying my job and am grateful daily for the opportunity to be in an environment I love, doing work that I care about and having management that cares about my success. I still can't believe that God granted me such a gift; after hearing from many people about their experiences, I'm realizing how special what I have is and that's it's

Psalms 37:7

By
"Do not Fear." "What? Not even a little?" "No, do not fear." "Surely I may show some measure of fear?" "No, do not fear." Tie this knot tight around the throat of unbelief: "Do not fear." "Do not fear" today. "Do not fear" tomorrow. "Do not fear" any day of your life. When fear comes, drive it away and give it no space. When the weather is rough, passengers on a ship can be comforted by the captain's calm behavior. One simple-minded soul said, "I am sure there is no cause to fear, for I heard the captain whistling." Surely if the captain is at ease, the passengers can be at peace. If the Lord Jesus is at the helm singing, do not fear. "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him"   Charles Spurgeon
