Christmas Cards

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope y'all got to enjoy as much turkey and dressing as I did! Oh my goodness, it was so amazing. I'll post some pictures of my family from today a little bit later. I'm finally hungry again so I can snack on leftovers. :) Tomorrow, we are heading to Eric's mom's house to spend some time with that side of the family. I'm sure we will have lots of fun!

It's almost Christmas time again. I LOVE Christmas. The season just calls for lots of singing, warm cookies, and looking at lights. Some people like to do the picture Christmas card thing.... I think Eric and I are going to do that for his family that lives in North Carolina since we never see them. Anyway, I took pictures for a Christmas card yesterday and I want to share them with you. If there is anyone else who wants to have theirs done, let me know. :)

Here is the Forbes family:

Hope you guys like the sneak peek!

Family Portraits

Recently, I had the pleasure to photograph two sweet families from church (which, by the way, the two women are sisters and I NEVER knew... ha!). They were truly a joy and oh so patient with me as I tried to hurry and post-process them all amidst the whirlwind of finishing up this semester. Finally, finished. (Well are we ever really satisfied with the post processing? I'm not...) Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures.

5 weeks and counting

That's the most exciting news I have for everyone.... only FIVE weeks (including this one) until the semester of death ends. Really, this is so exciting. 3 weeks from Thursday is Thanksgiving, and then there is only 1 more week of school after that and then finals. HOORRRAAAYYY. My quality of life will improve immeasurably this December and I cannot wait.

More good news about school. I looked at my degree evaluation for this spring (my last semester of school EVER) and it said that I will only need 11 hours of schooling to graduate. Only 2 more classes are required in my degree so I can take 2 extra elective classes or do an internship. PLUS... if I get an internship somewhere, the 2 classes that I need will be on Tuesday/Thursday... and I would only have to come to school 2 days a week. Next semester will be the best. Apparently God has been hearing my desperate cries for help. :)

Yesterday, during the second two sermons at church, I finished my history paper... which left a few hours in the afternoon open for me to take a nap. My husband/dad/mom decided it would be fun to all go golfing, so I had to sacrafice my nap but it was well worth it. Perfect weather, relaxing environment, and quality time with family. It was awesome. (Even when Eric and I each threw our own little temper tantrums because we stunk it up on the golf course. But hey, Eric just started playing this summer and it's been about 8 years since I've played a round of golf so I was happy to even connect the club and the ball... HA!)

I'm at school, so I only have a couple pictures from yesterday on my jump drive... and I'm going to add them both. The first is of my mom and dad. They are so cute and we had lots of fun with them yesterday! The second is just a pretty picture of the fall scenery. Love this time of the year!
