There’s so much I want to say…where to begin.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how blessed I am to have the family and friends I do. I think about people don’t have what I have and it makes me want to share it somehow. The amazing thing is it can’t be captured…well, except for the occasional perfect photo

I wanted to share my smile with you. I feel an incredible sense of peace right now (that might also be because I’m exhausted from getting up at 5:30pm to shop like a mad woman!) No seriously, I’m truly thankful. After a year of tons of ups and downs I’m learning to stop, smile and enjoy everyone around me. Drink it in and tell everyone how much they mean to me.

Having said that…there’s nothing like having the perfect meal with people you love! AND we had the perfect meal! Everything was so great! If I do say so myself.

Here’s our beautiful turkey and more:

Isn’t that a pretty bird? I knew Dave’s mom would be proud of her baby/top chef son!

This is the reality of thanksgiving at it’s height!

Of course, we can’t forget the kiddy table! Like I said…it was perfect!

Since the first Photo Contest was such a success…I’m doing it again! Put on your thinking caps! Take the next couple of weeks to think up your perfect picture!!!

This is a beautiful time of the year and I can’t wait to see what you submit! We’re going to shake it up and do things a little different. Here’s my plan…

1. Theme: “What brings a smile to your face in the winter?”

2. Each person must chose one photo to submit.

3. The Contest submission will be accepted from December 1-15th. Then, I’ll release the images and we’ll do the same form of tallying as before. Only this time the 5 highest will win…that is win a spot in the semi-finals. Everyone can vote the 16th and 17th…I love that part!

4. After the semi-finalists have been chosen, I will work on their pictures. (cropping, enhancing color, changing to black & white etc.) I will then re-release the images and we’ll chose our winner! That means you (and all your friends) get to vote twice!

5. Prize: $20 Itunes gift card. WHY? It’s easy and something everyone can enjoy!

Interested in playing? Start shooting and send me your best!

This couple contacting me to take pictures of them…just for fun! AND our shoot was exactly that! I’m always amazed at the incredible people I get to meet and get to know in my business! It’s so great!

I wish I could more of these kind of shoots! Just capturing love…no pressure!

I talked with Brianna this morning at church and found out that they’re doing a final interview with WCCO (channel 4) this week. I’ve received several inquiries from those of you who have followed their story since the beginning (I’m sorry that I haven’t responded to your emails and questions regarding the Morrisons) but, I thought you’d like to see the final media piece to their story.

I don’t what night (or time) this week it will be on WCCO but, keep checking wcco.com…I’m sure they’re have the clip on the website.

I’m really amazed at the people who continue to stay tuned…praying and loving this family but, I’m pretty sure they want to lead a normal life outside of the eye of the public. They are doing so well and from now on they just want to focus on Sylas! But by all means, keep praying!

There’s nothing like the feeling of rolling over, opening up your eyes (just barely), and seeing the snow slowly fall to the ground. Although I know that there will be plenty of snow in the months to come…I love the beginning! It’s another story when it’s still falling at the end of April but, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!

The weather is totally complimenting how I feel…leading up to the holidays I get so giddy and smiley and nostalgic! I love a holiday that makes you reflect, slow down and remember to be thankful for everything you have. Not just cause there are so many that have less but because it’s peaceful to be content and soak in todays moments. I hope that makes sense. Everyone can complain about something and everyone can be thankful. I’m choosing to be thankful.

I’m thankful for my family, friends that act like family, dark chocolate, a warm home, cars that work, food and the incredible variety we have in this country, turkey dinner, accessibility of medicine and doctors, clothes, computers that work, redbox dollar movies, coupons or any kind of good deal, thriving photography business, relationship with the Lord…it is my saving grace and last but not least Matt and Adriah…and the new little one growing in my belly! I’m 16 weeks (Surprise!) Blessings during this amazing season!

I hope it snows again soon.
