Thanking God for Sunny Days :)

God will always bring brighter days...
That is the essence of who He is.
He brings us to Himself...
and in Him we only find peace, goodness, forgiveness, healing and love.

It's been a good year for the Branches. We have so much hope for what the future holds.

Chester's book is about to come out... it should hit the stores in May...

I continue to love my teaching job... and though it's my first year... God is faithful and my students are already winning national awards!

We continue to look to Him...
the author and finisher of our faith... the writer of our journey...
our Father of great compassion... who inspires great love :)

In the Father's arms

Our hearts will never forget
the one who waits for us
on the other side of eternity
our beloved Angel...

The best place to be
is in Father God's arms
~the Branches

Nuestros corazones nunca olvidaran
al que nos espera
en el otro lado de la eternidad
nuestro Angel precioso

No hay mejor lugar
que en los brazos de
nuestro Padre Dios

Happy 1st Anniversary from the President of the United States of America! :) :) :)

Ludi's visit to VA BEACH

Celebrating Jesus, Celebrating Life!

I can't believe that it's been a year since my friends came down and sent us on an easter shower egg hunt...

It was so nice to have a little piece of home here with us...

This year God is sending some cousins to visit...

I guess that until we get to go to back Mexico...

it's gonna keep coming to us :)

Viva Mexico...

Feliz Año Nuevo

We are believing that this will be our best year yet!

2007 was full of amazing blessings.
It was definitely a year of rest and restoration for us.

God truly met us and provided beyond our expectations...
To finally be husband and wife is a true gift of heavenly grace :)

This year...

May there be an increase of peace in your life...

May you know what it is like to rest in the heart of a father who loves you... so much more that you can understand...(and definitely more than you deserve)

and may that cause your joy to abound...

Much love in '08,

Mr. & Mrs. Branch

2008 is gonna be great!

Even thought I am quite the talker...
I really enjoy the opportunity to express myself visually.
Here's another one of my slideshows...

3 wonderful years

For those that ask why 07.07.07?

We became a couple on November 7th... and we have celebrated every 7th since...

07.07.07 is the ultimate 7 and it has biblical significance...

It stands for completion and the root of it means oath.

We just celebrated our 3rd year as a couple (& 4 months of beautiful marriage) on Wednesday :)

My husband had a wonderful surprise for me... He reserved a movie theatre screening room so that we could watch our wedding slideshow up on the big screen for our anniversary! (http://branchboda.blogspot.com/2007/09/join-us.html )

He is truly gifted in melting my heart :)

Here's a pic of my anniversary roses that I woke up to:

And of my my weekly rose...



My romantic husband has decided to gift me with a fresh beautiful rose every week :D

It's so easy to love him back!!! :)

These last 3 years have been the best of my life and it just keeps getting better...

God is so good!

"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow" James 1:17
