O Holy Night
Sara was my 10th grade English and History teacher at Rosemount High school, my first employer, and now is my sister-in-law (while working for her, I fell in love with her husband's brother, Rory.) The best part is that we've been friends for over a decade now. I LOVE her music and have always counted myself as her biggest fan. I remember when she was my teacher, she'd talk about how she sometimes sang at her church and I always wanted to hear what songs she'd write. Now I know: honest, soulful, true songs.
She was my favorite teacher in high school and is still my favorite teacher in life. I feel like every conversation we share I am left walking away thinking and pondering and talking to God about something new. Go and get this album. It is fantastic from start to finish. http://www.saragroves.com/
Christmas Calendar
Thanks to Ali Edwards and her template at Designer Digitals, I have this sweet gift for my sister, Annika, this year. All of these pictures were taken while living out in Montana with her last winter. The year says 2009, but this keeps the whole design from being too good to be true.
A Christmas Tea
My sister-in-law Lisa, is setting a table for her church's Christmas Tea. The theme is Stories from the Heart, so I put this together for the journals she will cover to be used as each person's place card at the table.
Polka Dotted Highways.
There are two tools we have used as we drive from here to there. One is a tattered oversized state farm road atlas that stays with us in the front seat. The other is Rory's phone with GPS, his gadgety dream come true. Typically I am consulting the map while he is looking at the phone. Too bad no one is looking at the road.
As we began our road trip, I started to figure out that my lovely atlas marks beautiful scenic drives by a line of polka dots next to the drawn highway. We didn't plan to do this when we set out, but the majority of our drives have been on polka dotted scenic drives.
I have become quite accomplished at taking scenic pictures with my hand flapping in the wind out my window as Rory flies us down the highway at 70 miles per hour. Here are a few of my favorite:
