"Delicious Autumn. My very soul is wedded to it. And if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive Autumns." [George Elliot]

fall means several things: leaves changing colors. cooler, crisper weather. shorter days, longer nights. dark mornings (one of my favorite things). long sleeves & sweats. camp fire smells. leaves falling. halloween & thanksgiving.


this year in particular, it has meant: moving into a new house. aunt het day. our one year anniversary! signing up for our first half marathon. mere being home for a little while. sleeping in. camping. mel's last [home] soccer game. walking downtown for dinner. change.

God is brilliant

All of our travel documents for Costa Rica!

Plane check-ins & shuttle pick-up!

Sept. 29

Travel sized EVERYTHING - we both only packed book bags we had to have 3oz or less for our liquids. We found out that only taking carry-ons is the way to go! No lines for anything (except coming back into the country of course) -- everything was a breeze! ..and no one believed us that we were coming back into the country with only carry ons. Go figure.

Sept. 30

new cork board ribbon! i know it's not an exciting picture, or even a very good one...but our bulletin board has been in desperate need of new ribbon for a long time! 

Oct. 1

Anniversary flowers that Mike had sent to the office. I LOVED them!! They made me feel so special on our anniversary! And of course they were beautiful & fall-y!

Oct. 2

After a long day of the Lauren's Hope Race (which we BOTH won our age groups..can mark that off my list of things to do. Seriously), Aunt Het, naps and car washing..Mike & Me gettin' ready to go to Stella's (one of our FAVORITES) for our anniversary. Gotta love the flannel.

Thanks Jana! Our photographer and friend took some amazing pictures for us on our anniversary. Love it. 

The End.

September 22 through September 25

Sept. 22

you'll just have to get over the fact that i can't make this picture be vertically oriented. i've tried and it's keeping me from getting this last batch of pictures posted.

also, it's a pretty crummy picture bc it was taken with my phone. oh well.

my favorite fall picture

 

For Kelli's blog, "For This Child I Prayed" ~ my favorite fall picture:

This is a picture on our one year anniversary (: (Oct. 3) - The credit MUST go to Jana Candler - the photographer, and our friend. 

Let me just say, I LOVE my wedding dress. Like really, really LOVE it. After our wedding (and having it cleaned) I decided that I'd like to wear it again...and that I'd like for Mike to wear his wedding garb again too. So, I got in touch with Jana about taking some anniversary pictures for us. We have great pictures from our wedding, but none really of the two of us doing anything "fun" (non-wedding-y). Jana agreed and did some amazing work for us! I cannot wait to get some printed (especially) for us - and they're for sure going to make some great Christmas gifts for our family! 



the end has come...

well, i don't actually have the pictures uploaded yet - but, they will be the last of the 365 album (: i absolutely cannot believe that a year has already passed...and that i have a picture for every day of our first year being married. my goal is to print them all and find a perfect sized photo box to hold them. i'll have to be sure to write on the back what everything is though, because i'm sure when i'm old and senile it'll be fun to look back over them (and fun to remember what / where every picture is from) and hopefully the future kiddos will enjoy them too!

oh yea, just bc the 365 album is over doesn't mean i'll stop posting pictures. we just got back from Costa Rica on Sunday from our anniversary trip & i have a ton of great pictures to share! (:
