Thanksgiving in Pictures

I am so thankful for my family and for time with them. This year, Thanksgiving was painful and difficult. However, there was definitely joy intermingled with sorrow.

30 by 30/13 of 30/Ride a Motorcycle

I was off work on Wednesday and I convinced one of my guy friends to take me for a ride on his motorcycle in the afternoon.  For those of you that are going to ask, I wore a helmet the whole time.  If you look closely, you can see my helmet is in my hand. 

I had never been on a motorcycle and before we left, I was worried that I would be scared.  I was not scared.  I HAD A BLAST.  Probably the most fun I have had this year. I want to go again. Is it warm enough outside yet? Seriously!  So much so that I would contemplate getting a Vespa.  If I trusted people on the road in cars a little more, I would be buying a Vespa.  It was that fun!

Weddings 2012

This fall, I had the pleasure of watching two of my best friends marry two truly amazing guys!  Emily, one of my best friends from high school married Jonathan in Atlanta in late October and Amber married Drew in early November. 

Emily is one of my dearest and truest friends.  I have known her since high school and we actually have managed to keep in touch for the last fifteen years despite going to different colleges and living in different cities.  We have been friends so long, that I couldn’t even find digital pictures from when we met!  The pictures below are iphone pictures taken of my scrapbook. 

So many fun memories with you Em!  I am so excited that I now get to add your wedding weekend to the list! I was honored to stand beside you as you married a man that loves you so well!  I love you friend!!! And if I do say so myself, we have aged pretty well.

Amber is one of my friends from Houston.  She is one of those people that I can not talk to for 6 months and somehow pick up exactly we left off (Emily is too, actually).  I have had some of my favorite and most profound spiritual conversations with her and I always leave our conversations feeling blessed (oh how I pray the same thing can be said for me).  Drew is so perfect for her, it is kind of unreal and it gives us single girls who are almost 30 hope that God knows what he is doing. 

Bridal portraits. Her photographer was amazing!
