scenery

I have had the amazing opportunity of traveling this amazing world that God has created and blessed us with.  Through both growing up and my employment; I've been able to see Brazil, Alaska, England, Israel and Italy.  Each of these places is unique and amazing yet through it all I still step by and look around and think - Wow Lord, this is amazing. 
As I was searching through my pictures, I came across these pictures that I've taken throughout my travels  - I'm fascinated with trees, beautiful old houses and barns.... I admit Turner Classic Movies is one of my favorite channels too :)  So enjoy!  As you step outside - thank God for what He has created!

wedding details

So I have to admit; my time is occupied with wedding stuff and work...... Wow - how crazy it can be, but I know it will be all worth it in the end.  In which - I feel very fortunate because my amazing mother is making my wedding dress and graciously helping me with the food for the reception.  Because it is a small wedding we are able to accomplish this and each weekend it seems that we've conquered the next "adventure" for the wedding.... here are a few pictures that I've taken through my adventure of wedding planning

The picture of the hand are my mother's hands - these are the hands that have loved me, cared for me, and wiped away my tears when needed..... they are amazingly sewing together my wedding dress for my special day!  I owe her so much more than I can give, but the only way I can sum it up is with how much I love her!

Then this strawberry is part of the picnic baskets that we'll have at the reception, my  mom and I tried this three different times and finally perfected it - I can't wait for everyone to enjoy them.... so to those that continue to plan their wedding - happy planning from one bride-to-be to another :)
