Thanksgiving #2: Friends

I'm so blessed to be surrounded my so many friends that are constantly caring for my soul and pointing me towards Christ! Once again, enjoy some pictures:

Thanksgiving #1: Family

Since Thanksgiving is fast approaching, I'm going to do a little series on things that I'm thankful for. They will not be in any particular order of importance, but today I will start with family. Im so blessed with such a wonderful family (on David's side too). Words can't even express all my gratitude and love towards each member, but I'm so blessed that God saw fit to place me where I am and with the family I have! Here are some pictures:

The Hanna Family

I had a blast taking this family's pictures a couple weeks ago. This couple was David's caregroup leaders and I had the privilege of being in their caregroup as well while we were engaged. It is such a joy to watch Quay and Shannon interact with each other. You don't have to be around them long before their love for one another becomes very evident. What a wonderful example they are to their children and those who are blessed to interact with them. Here are a couple of shots from the day:

Ryle

I had the joy of watching this little sweet boy be born. I can't believe how big he is getting...time is going so very fast.

Christmas Cards

I have always enjoyed photography and style, so when the two are combined it is a happy day for me! I’m also a huge proponent of photo Christmas cards. I enjoy sending them out and they are also my favorite kind of card to receive during the holiday season. This year I have been in search for a card that encompasses a little more of my style rather than the usual cookie cutter photo card. I was so excited when I came across the wonderful holiday collection on Shutterfuly.com. There are so many lovely cards that it was hard to pick a favorite. To me it was like looking at Christmas card heaven. If you are in search for a place to find a Christmas photo card for your family this year check out the next three links:

Smiles All the Way Around!

Ok, so my blogging has been quite slow and pathetic lately. Let's just say the school has been nothing less than overwhelming and very time consuming. God has been working in my life in ways that I have never experienced and He is showing me new depths of His love and faithfulness. Anyway, on another side note I'M GETTING MARRIED! I'm so incredibly blessed to be engaged to David. He is a Godly man that I respect very highly and he will do an outstanding job leading me (I know this, because he already does)! I love him tons and can't wait to be his wife. Here are some picture from that night and on Monday I will post the whole story.

Boronow Family!

I have known this family for a very long time and I always enjoy each and every time I get to spend with them. Taking their family pictures was no exception! I had such a wonderful time, filled with many laughs. Thank you Boronow family for making one of my December afternoon very bright and cheery! Here are just a couple from the day.......
