fall is moving by at remarkable speed. it's nearly november. life has been so busy! but sprinkled into the busy days have been a handful of simple, wonderful experiences...as well as a handful of really incredible people to share them with!

i look forward to the coming of the "holiday season," which means Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) and Christmas (a time of year that, for me, is unparalleled in it's simple beauty and deep wonder). agh. so much to look forward to! my heart is full. but i am reminded that i need to live each day with the care, intentionality, and gratefulness it deserves (even the difficult ones...). i hope we don't ever take this life for granted.
this weekend mariah, monica, melissa, and i are going to visit Grandma in the UP. third time up there this year! woo!! we are all so excited to get away for a little while. i'm anxious to enjoy all that the north country inevitably offers. it's so unique in its beauty. and i always love going to the house on Minnesota St. :)
also, i have a really cute niece and nephew...i miss them...can't wait to see them at Christmas!!

heck yeah!
I loooove that picture of Luke at the top. haha!
I've been praying the Lord's prayer daily too, following a series my church did on it last fall. I think I know what you mean about discovering the gravity of a prayer by praying it daily. The manifestation of our requests varies from day to day...I think realizing that heightens my awareness of my dependence.
i love you, hal. and i miss you so much. thank you for your words :) i hope we get to talk next week.
