It's Christmas Card Time!

With the Chirstmas Season quickly approaching and now that I am really loving the whole picture sharing experience. Shutterfly is making sending out holiday cards so easy for me.  I really want to start sending photos of our family to share.  Have you seen their Christmas Cards this year? You need to check them out! I love this one with lots of places for our pictures.

Or this one. I love the old fashioned Christmas colors.

They can even help with gift giving. If you have a coffee drinker in the family like me. {hint hint} They have  photo coffee mugs! Look how cute and it comes with Chocolate! 

Another great thing about Shutterfly is that they can help with your card needs year round.

Birthday Invites anyone. My daughter is celebrating her 30th this year. 

So my point is run to Shutterfly and check out the Christmas cards selections. It's not to late to get your personalized cards out this year. It is such a sweet way to send cards for the holidays. I won't share the "one" with you( I want you to be surprised when you open your mailbox)  but, I will show you my runner up.

JOY! I love it. 

We actually took our family pictures at the Monastery this year.  Our friend Shannon took many pictures of us on a Sunday several weeks ago.  I look forward to sending them out on the design template we have chosen.  I love how easy shutterfly makes this whole process.

Fun Weekend /Time Change Saturday

What fun to have the babies spend the night.  That happened on Friday.  I need to take more pictures.  But these are a couple of Friday night.  Saturday I ran a 10K at Callaway Gardens with some friends.  I rocked it for me.  My time was 1 hour 2 minutes and 23 seconds.  The shirts were the color of dirt not very impressed BUT Ra and B ran the Strong Legs Run in ATL and B gave me his shirt :)
Sunday we took family pictures at the Monestary and I am very excited to see how they turned out.  Brian did major yard work today and I am happy with this fun filled weekend...  Still working on moving and taking of these pounds.

Thankfulness All Month Long

Thanksgiving has always been our very favorite holiday.
I have so many memories of Bobby and mom cooking the day away and getting so excited to have that perfect creation for their loved ones to enjoy.
We also like to get up very early together and enjoy that morning being together followed by an early nap. 
So this season on Thankfulness i truly celebrate each and every day!!!

Another year,

and what it means to me is another confirmation

that this wonderful couple

 are the best ever.  They have figured out that taking care of each other goes along way in making a happy life for this sweet boy.  This was their anniversary weekend.  I am so excited that we got to share these moments with them and their sweet precious little boy.

Jackson is so blessed to have them as his parents.

Happy Anniversary to the Williamson's with heartfelt love.

You sure do add lots of laughter and fun to our lives on Pebble Brook Lane.

"Into the Wild" Chris McCandless

Seen the movie and read the book.
One quote really stood out.  i had to go back and find it to remind myself that i had to really think about this.
Unlike Muir and Thoreau, McCandless went in the the wilderness not primarily to ponder nature or the world at large but, rather: to explore the inner country of his own soul.  He soon discovered, however, what Muir and Thoreau already knew: An extended stay in the wilderness inevitable directs one's attention outward as much as inward, and it is impossible to live off the land without developing both a subtle understanding of, and a strong emotional bond with, that land and all it holds.
He graduated from Emory in 1990. He was an extremely intense young man and possessed a streak of stubborn idealism that did not mesh readily with modern existence.  He spent 16 weeks in a bus in Alaska.  I was very moved by this story.

Inhale Fall

I can't I repeat Can't explain how much i love this fall weather

But i will try:

I love that to everything there is a season and a promise of Newness

I love that the color of the sky and clouds is robin blue

I love that the crispness as i run/walk remind of the season change

I love the smells

I love the windows being open all the time and the feel of cool

I love that family and friends gather, even if its to watch football

I love that i get to change my scents from Bath and Body works

I love that things take on a newness and awareness

I love the festivals and the color orange

I love life and living in the moment and being thankful for all that is!!!
