well hello!

I apologize for my long absence.  My brain is still fried from finals and my creativity burned up with it.  We have already started our Christmas traveling.  Not far distances, just the usual Cinci to Louisville... back and forth and back and forth. 

Our dear friends, Brittany and Kevin, said "I do" on Saturday evening.  Patrick was a groomsman and we had fun celebrating the whole weekend!  Brittany was a gorgeous bride and the wedding was wonderful!  Congratulations!!  We love you both!

The rest of the weekend, I did some Christmas shopping, met up with my best friends, threw an Engagement party for our friends, Adam and Samantha, visited with family, and did a little wrapping

sidenote: I have been daydreaming of this tasty treat on Christmas morning:

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying Christmas festivities and time with family and friends.  Through all the craziness, I pray we all will find rest in knowing the real reason for celebrating and that we will thank our Father for sending a Savior.
