Advent

Christmas is in full swing in our house.... hot chocolate with marshmallows is the beverage of choice, Christmas movies have taken over our TV (we are currently watching Christmas Vacation... oh Clark.) and I am almost done with our Advent calendar-yes I know it's December 12th...... One of the best early Christmas gifts was my dear friend Eli coming up to visit - we did all of the things I had hoped for and then some. We cooked yummy dinners, we frolicked around Beantown, sat in coffee shops, ate delicious lunches, and had wonderful heart talks. It was a sweet visit.

This weekend was wonderfully restful, filled with two date nights with the hubs, Christmas shopping, church, and pizza with sweet friends.

And stay tuned because I am hoping to debut something I am really excited about very soon!!!!

She is almost here!

Yes people, Hudson and I are moments away from picking up my favorite red head and one of my best friends, Elisabeth, more affectionately known in our home as "Eli", from the airport! The next few days will be filled with good conversation, coffee shops, frolicking around the Christmas-decorated streets of Beantown, eating good food, pillow-talk, crafting, and just enjoying good company! This sweet lady loves people better than anyone I know. I will do my best to document the next few days - but just to get you as excited as I am about her coming...... here you go!

From Here to There

Well our precious time at the lake is coming to a close. Golf, sun, lake, reading, swimming, and good food are being traded in for the more tedious task of packing. Here are some photos to capture the wonderful time we had!
