It's that time of Year Again

So this year has flown by. Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we are approaching December at record speed (okay, not really, but it feels like it) which means so many things. One being Christmas card time!!! I love Christmas cards. Ever since I was a child, my family took a picture Thanksgiving weekend every year and sent it out to our family and friends. Now that I'm married it's a tradition that I wanted to bring into our marriage. I love the tradition!! It's so much fun to see how we grow and change each year!

This year Tiny Prints has been gracious enough to let me review their cards. I love Tiny Prints! This year I have narrowed it down to these three options. Now if I could only pick one! 

Christmas Sentiments: Dijon

I love this card because it seems to stick to the meaning of Christmas. I love the colors of it too!

Smooth Sincerity: Charcoal

I love the colors of this one too! It's simple, yet it speaks volumes to me. I just think it's a beautiful card!

Merry Intent: Winterberry

I love the simplicity of this card and the bright colors. I'd like to do a black and white picture of us this year, and the pop of color would look fabulous! Tiny Prints has so many cards to offer! It was hard to narrow it down to three. Be sure to check out their Christmas photo cards and find one that fits you or your family best! They have filters on the left side of their site to help you narrow down your selection. If not you could spend all day looking at all of the beautiful cards.

It's Tuesday!

I don't even know where to begin.
I'm exhausted.
Mentally. Physically.
It's Tuesday. Only Tuesday.
I feel like I'm on a roller coaster.
The one thing that is really strange though,
I have a complete peace about everything.

It's not like me to feel like this, the peaceful part.
I know that whatever is going to happen God is in total control
and he knows what is best for us.

I'm nervous, excited, scared, hopeful, and loved.
Loved? That's a weird way of stating it.
Because our families are amazing and are supporting us through all of this.
They are encouraging us. Lifting us up in prayers.
Nothing could be better than that.

So it's only Tuesday. Only He knows what the rest of the week holds.

I had lunch with my dad today. I needed that. It was mighty cold and windy outside today. Here's a picture of my walk back from lunch.

She makes me laugh!

If you can't tell I love I Love Lucy! She just makes me laugh! These two days just put a smile on my face!



I just had to share a little cheer for this Monday morning. I have a serious case of the Monday's.

Feel Like This

I'm having one of those days.

Where I feel run down.

Emotionally drained.

Physically drained.

Just down right DRAINED!
