Shutterfly for the Holidays!

Do you want in on THIS?

 Shutterfly is offering an amazing deal for all bloggers
during this Christmas season!

I used to make tons and tons of scrapbooks by hand.
I loved cutting out the papers and pictures to make just the right page.
As I've become older, I've had less and less time do hand made scrapbooks.
A friend of mine told me about This amazing website where you could make
scrapbooks online, in half the amount of time!

I have not yet made any albums on Shutterfly but I do plan
to make my entire wedding album there.
It's fast, quick, easy and the results will be priceless.
I have seen many an album from this website and not one has disappointed me.

My family and I plan to use these holiday Christmas cards to mail out to
family and friends. I know they will all be jealous of our stylish cards.
They'll wish they checked out Shutterfly before they made their trip to Walgreens.

Since my Mr is going to be overseas this holiday season,
a bright and cheery Christmas card might be just the ticket for him!

THIS is one of my favorite Holiday cards this season!
I would LOVE to make one of THESE for my Momma at some point.
I think she'd really appreciate it :)

They have so many cute cards,

and here are some of my favorites

How cute, right?
All of their Christmas cards are creative and fun.
These are not your typical holiday cards

 no no no, they are so much more.
So go, get on it!
check out their selection here.
you won't regret it.
Thanks for this offer Shutterfly

 you rock.

When Opposites Meet

 I shot these pictures on opposite sides of the country, 

I'm not sure why I love this picture combo so much, but the green color

paired with the black and white just makes my eyeballs happy :)

Wordless Wednesday

Day One

I made it through Day One

There's so many more to go, but taking it one day at a time is the strategy from here on out.

Last night Mr and I started reading James together. 

Chapter One just so happened to have the most amazing passage for us.

James 1:2-4

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

So here we go, 

facing one of the biggest trials of our lives,
so God may produce perseverance in us both.

Thank you to all of the beautiful people in my life who have been sending me texts, emails, facebook messages, phone calls and to the nice lady at the air field who gave me a tissue yesterday. Mr and I could not get through this without the support of all the loved ones around us, your kind words and prayers are truly helping, so thank you.

Embrace.

The days are getting shorter and time is running out.

I find myself not wanting to fall asleep at night

because that just means one more day has come and gone.

People want to make plans with me after Mr. is gone

but I don't even want to think past today.

 My heart is here, my head is in the clouds.

Most years the time change is a pain, but not this year.

We gained one more hour together yesterday, it was awesome. 

Now I'll just pray that Jesus will stretch the hours,

prolong, drag out, extend, and lengthen the days

so Mr and I can have just a little bit more time together.

He'll be gone soon,

But he is home for today and I'll embrace that.

Hike

Yesterday Mr woke me up bright and early and gave me the news..

we are going on a hike!

At first I was so excited because we would be out in nature, I'd get to take some awesome pictures, and it would be just the two of us, out in nature, together! Then I got a little nervous..

what kinda hike does Mr have in mind?

are we going to be scaling walls, swimming through rivers, and fighting harsh mountain conditions?

that's not quite what I had in mind...and lucky for me, neither did Mr. whew! I mean I love the great outdoors but I just don't like fighting with it so I was relieved to hear Mr tell me it was an easy to medium hike that he had planned :)

For the record: Mr made me breakfast and had an entire day planned, dreamy right? take note boys, plan a day for your gal..she will appreciate the mere idea that you even thought about spending special time with her. good job Mr!

Here are some of the pictures from our adventure.

I decided that Fall time is the best time to be in the mountains.

How pretty is all of that yellow mixed in with the green pines?

Thanks Mr for an awesome day and fun hike :)
