Reallllllly Looking Forward!

to this, sept. 28-29

this, oct. 26-28

 THIS, winter break 

and somewhere in between: Baton Rouge, Nashville, Dallas, and a best friend's wedding!!

This is, quite nice

Take my hand and follow me,

There are things ahead for you to see.

Little wonders are all around,

And tender mercies to be found.

We’ll take our time, no need to run,

Breathe deep the air and feel the sun.

The grass is soft beneath our feet,

Sounds are soothing, the air is sweet.

Sometimes we’ll stop and just be still,

Our hearts will tell us God is real!

Small graces along our path appear,

They let us know that Heaven’s near.

So take my hand anew each day,

The walk is lovely and I know the way.

Greg Olsen, 2008

Grateful

I am writing wedding thank you cards right now and am realizing how good people were to Austin and I during our engagement and wedding. I think I was too caught up in the lace and ruffles to recognize it earlier but I am grateful to recognize it now. I am thankful for the bridal showers, the gifts, the groom putting up with my vision, the cards & well wishing, the long travelers (just found out one of Austin's relatives came from NJ, and not to mention those from MD, PA, TX, CA, ID, Canada, and Japan), the toasts, the dinners, the pampering, the groomsmen acting as DJs, the guitarist, the ring bearer, the flower girl, and the soft colors and those who embraced them with me.

i love you, summer 2012
