Sunsets




I sometimes find myself in the evenings looking out the window wating for the sun to set. I love watching the sun set. I love seeing all the bright colors and images changing right before my eyes! I would love to have a house someday with a big porch wrapping around the house, where I could be with my family and watch the sun rise and set. I could seriously watch it for hours, if it lasted that long. (Even when looking at these pictures, I just can't help but stare at them in awe, so I wanted to share them with you). It is so peaceful and it's like my life comes to a stop momentarily, and even though the sky is still moving and continuing to turn different shades of pinks, reds and blues; I am not busy worrying about cleaning my house, paying bills, or wiping kids noses. It makes me forget all my responsibilities and minor problems for a brief while and I am lost in the beauty of the sunset; pondering the amazing world which we are so blessed to live in. It's just beautiful and it's another reminder to me how grateful I am for all the blessings Heavenly Father has given me.

Hey Christy,
I love them too! We have the most incredible sunsets here...it all has to do with dust and dirt and light refraction...I don't pretend to understand, I too just enjoy. My house doesnt' even face a direction to get a good look out, but sometimes my friend will call if there is an especially awesome one. Enjoy them, they are a gift for a day well lived!

I love those pictures! This sounds totally cheesy but Troy and I shared our first kiss watching the sun set. It was awesome-the colors are amazing and they're always different! Thanks for sharing those pics!
