The month of October has been an absolute blur for me! So much going on in such a short span, but so many blessings to be counted!
#27...driving 5 hours to my inlaws and leaving the kids so I can get a date with my favorite man ♥
#28...wearing skirt on a rainy, windy day just so I can look (and feel) pretty for my husband...
#29...sipping hot coffee while people-watching downtown...
#30...finishing the last of our adoption classes! One step closer to expanding our family☺
#31...a field trip to the deepest lake in the United States. Nothing compares to the sapphire blue of Crater Lake!
#32...having a surprise me with an overwhelmingly kind & generous gift...and still having no idea who to say thank you!
.... So, thank you, Jesus!
#33...taking 10 minutes to lay in my hammock and enjoy the colorful canopy of the autumn leaves.
#34...a beautiful sunset shared with loved ones♥
#35...answered prayers!
#36...having family arrive, gradually over 3 days, as they gather to help us prepare for a big celebration!
#37...living out "many hands make light the work" and loving every minute of it!
#38...borrowing a daughter to help me, my son and my niece bake 50 cupcakes and a huge cake...
#39...having my sister, the cake expert, make my vision a reality!
#40...renewing our wedding vows before God, family and friends!♥
#41...totally overwhelmed by God's gifts of love, raining down on us, surrounded by friends and family, the amazing celebration our anniversary, so many hugs, smiles, tears, laughter...my heart is just bursting with joy!
#42...looking forward to when I will see my long-distance family again...instead of looking back. I will miss them, but I hold them close to my heart.
#43...preparing for some family time away from the daily hustle and bustle...
#44...spending time in the woods, loving God's closeness in creation, while my boys learn wilderness survival skills!
Thank you, LORD, for the great gifts that You give. Thank you for the blessing of friends who become family, and family who becomes friends. Thank you for the love that You pour out on your children who love you! May we always choose to follow You, all the days of our lives.
