Smitten

A gift, handmade by Sharalee.  Found here, FreeFALLEN.

December 12, 2008

Two of my all time favorite images.  Moments after we exchanged vows.  I was having my hair fixed in the basement of the church, as my veil was removed for the reception.  But he just couldn't let go - and I didn't want him to.  Happy anniversary Dustin.  I love you.

Main Street

Main Street - Battle Ground, WA.  You'd never know it's only 4pm and there are big ol' mountains at the end of that street.  It's been a bit gray here.  Feels cozy and fitting for the season.  Just waiting for the snow to arrive.

My Boy

I proudly claim the garage, the Bronco & that cute boy in the red flannel/white tee.  Love him.  

Making Things

Song sheet Christmas trees - inspired by Anthropologie. 

Chalkboard gift tags inspired by Pinterest. 

... and some mason jar woodland snow scenes (also inspired by Anthro), along with a few glittered deer for good measure.  I love those little animals - glittered or not.

Gratitude

Thankful for my Savior.  Thankful for a best friend/husband, all in one.  Thankful for my family, and his family - and that it really all blends together.  Thankful for friends to share life with.  

And I'm thankful for other things, that don't sound quite as nice and tidy.  Like our warm, dry house.  And my new coat.  And cars that run.  And Pepsi.  And jobs.  And creation, each and every season.  And my laptop (and iPhone).  The list goes on.

Life feels so full of hope when I stop and reflect on all that I'm thankful for.
