Sunrise....The pictures say it all....

My journey....

Traveling....

traveling has not always been so easy for me, 9 hours in the car 3-5 times a year since I was nine, leaves alot to be desired. I have come to know those roads well, know where things are, and where to stop...

something about this trip though i have to say was very very different, it was the first time I made a plan trip down since jeremy and I went christmas of 2006.... my last journey was a year ago and that in such a hurry was by plane...

I didnt really know how I would feel traveling down these roads again knowing that I would not be seeing my dad when I reached my destination, how I would feel when I realized truely for the first time that he is gone and this place that i am headed too does not hold as much hope and love as I had always remembered....

The last few days have been spent going through my dads things, which I have handled suprisingly well, but I'm tired...

I think one of the highlights of the trip so far was the huge sale that they were having at the scrapbooking store....they are closing, which I found oddly symbolic in a way , it really made me feel like a chapter in my life is closing...

We will see what the rest of the weekend has in store....

Stay tuned...

The First Day of Fall

What is it about Fall? Is it the way the air smells, the colors that God paints across the trees, its almost as if the Blue of the sky is different in the fall....Is it how children seem more playful and happy than any other time? Or is it the joy of the cooler air....

There is something about Fall, something that make it my most favorite time of year, a time of year when you can almost smell that change is on its way, it is as if the labor of the summer melts away and transformation begins. Fall reminds me of happy times, things that warm my heart like hot apple cider, hay rides, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and that changing leaves.

Happy First Day of Fall!

Harris Teeter Triples!

This is what I got for my harris teeter triples, It wasnt alot of stuff but I think I got some great deals! All this stuff for $21....I was pretty happy with that....

Motts BOGO, hand sanitizer was FREE, peanut butter $.94, nothing I bought was more than a dollar!

My great shopping find!

We went to the mall to walk around with Laura and we just happened to walk in to a childrens place and I could not believe my eyes! I saw racks and racks of .99 summer cloths!

I was so in awe I could not believe what I was seeing!!!!! I got her 7 tank tops in sizes that she can wear next summer! I only paid $7.40! I added it up with all the tag prices that were still on there, what I would have paid for those shirts if they were regular price $70.50! Can you believe it 70 in shirts and I got them for 7!

Our mall trip with auntie laura

We went to bass pro and let addie look at the fishes!

It was so cute she would point at the fish, and the big ones would come by and she would say wow!

I think it is so neat to see how interested she is in things, she would say Fish!

An eventful week

I dont know about anyone else but this has been a busy week....

My little cousin is a hoot, I love to babysit her she is just the most preicous 2 year old ever...This picture I took of her is so funny, she is talking on her cinderella phone and carry her coach bag....oh my miss prissy!

She is so funny! I love this picture!

My other events of the week have included more scrapping, working on my new website dragonsflyscrapbooking.tripod.com, cleaning, and yes sadly enough thinking about christmas! We also did alittle shopping this week as well.....

Card for a Friend

A card I made...

My latest cards

Here are my cards that I am teaching tomorrow to my bible study class...I hope they will like them! They are so cute! I am even slightly impressed with myself!

Hurricane Season....

For some reason Hurricanes fascinate me! I love watching the weather channel and seeing the people report from where ever the hurricane is coming in, I dont know why it fascinates me so much....I think that it all started with the history teacher that I had in the 7th grade, she made us track each hurricane we had on a weather map and I just thought that was so neat....definatly something I want to do with my kids... Now that Gustav is gone it looks like there is a new one and where is it headed? our way... booo... I like them until they hit to close to home.....
