Beauty

surrounds us if we will only open our eyes to see it!

Saturday despite feeling ill I was able to get outside and enjoy the day.
I took a few pictures of this tree outside our apartment.
In all the years we have lived in Austin I can say this is the FIRST year that we have experienced the colored foliage so vividly.

Most years the trees are green one day and the next the leaves are on the ground, just like in the cartoons.
I had lunch with a good friend Mrs. JF.
We tend to only see eachother once a semester because of our hectic schedules, but we make up for it.
Afterwards I stopped by Hobby Lobby and I had to laugh when the cashier said, "I check you out a lot"!
Haha...I may have a crafting addiction, I'm becoming a regular face at the Hobby Lobby.
It's dangerous living a few blocks from the heavenly crafty haven!

Sunday Bud & I skipped church. 
I know, bad us. 
He'd been sick for nearly a week and I wasn't feeling so great either so we thought the extra rest would help.
Plus we needed the extra rest so we wouldn't have to cancel our lunch plans with some out of town friends.

Bud, Myself, AT & AT & Little HT!
She is precious.

We randomly met this couple on a cruise a few years ago while watching a UT game.

Turns out Mr. AT graduated from the same AFROTC program at UT that Bud is currently enrolled in!

We missed them by only a year.

Needless to say we clicked and spent much of our free time on the cruise with them and since have stayed in contact.

As a military spouse you quickly learn and understand what people mean when they say it's a small Air Force.  

Obviously it's not, but when you start to network all of a sudden you have friends EVERYWHERE!

I'm so excited for Active Duty life as an Air Force Wife....only 150 days to go!!

I hope everyone is having a blessed Holiday Season.

I have every intention of blogging everyday this week.

However, if I miss you and should you miss me, I just want to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Have a Blessed Monday, 

P.S. I have 3 new followers as of today!  It's so exciting!
