Autumn-New Season

This is one of my favorite times of the year(next to Christmas)! I love the cooler air and the smell of my cider candle burning! I pulled out my fall decorations half way through September! Ethan has been sweet to deal with my excitement over this time of year and he even seems to like the way I have decorated our house! I got some yellow mums on Saturday and I love them!

I hope you are able to enjoy this time of year and also take some time to reflect on God's majesty in and through His creation! I am reminded of the song "Every Season" by Nichole Nordeman. In every season God is working to make things new and this is the same in the believers life. Throughout the different seasons in our lives God is working to make us new in Him. I am so thankful that He is not finished with me yet and that he continues to teach me,humble me, grow me, and renew me. Without His grace in my life I would never make it through the day.

Girls Weekend 2010

This past weekend was my mom's side of the families 2nd annual girls weekend. Last year we went to Savannah, GA and this year we went to Bryson City, NC. We had a great time! It was an extended weekend and it was a blast! We did lots of shopping and at lots of yummy food! I have a lot of pictures from the trip, but I haven't had the chance to upload them yet. Here are a few from my mom's camera!

Getting some grub :)

On Tuesday night I had a few girls from our youth group over for dinner! I made Pasta Shells, with salad and bread sticks! I thought it was pretty yummy and the girls seemed to like it! I love these girls! They mean so much to me and I am so thankful for their godly example! They are such an encouragement to me and such a blessing! I am really looking forward to having more girls over soon and expanding the group!
