I Love This Time of Year

I do. I absolutely love this time of year. Every weekend is packed with fun Holiday things, the decorations start to come up, and (for the most part) everyone is HAPPY! Will and I already have most of our Christmas decorations up. If it were up to me, we would be one of those that leave them up for all year round- the lights and the music make me happy. I am a dork I know, but I love this time of year!

Last weekend was spent with Will’s parents. It had been a while since they had been to Georgia, so it was fun to show them the things that had changed since they had been here at this time last year. We have done a lot to the house since then, and they also got to meet their granddog, Miss Bear. (I think) they loved her. She definitely loved them. While Bill and Jan were here, we also got to take them to our new favorite place, which I have mentioned here many times- Blue Ridge . We spent the day up there shopping and walking around the cute town. We made it back just in time for the LSU game… and Thank God they won because I was with BOTH of the Hunter men, and for those of you that know the Hunters well, it is never fun to be around then when LSU loses. Sunday was spent showing off our church and then shopping in Atlanta. Bill and Jan surprised us with tickets to the Transiberian Orchestra, which I was so beyond excited about! The concert was amazing, and we are definitely making it part of our Christmas tradition from now on. Thank you Mom and Dad Hunter for a fun weekend! No cameras allowed in the concert, but are a few pictures from the weekend…

Will and Bill. They matched. It was so cute. This is before the concert.

Beebs and I. This is at the front of our subdivision.

This weekend is NOTHING. I love nothing weekends, but somehow they always seem to turn into SOMETHING weekends. Saturday will probably be spent out with some friends- we have been beyond blessed to find some really awesome friends here in Georgia.

ALSO, there is another FUN and very SECRET thing happening this weekend that I sooooo want to talk about but I can’t. Hopefully by the next time I write, I can TELL EVERYONE! I have been sworn to secrecy and am busting at the seems to open my big fat mouth!

And last but certainly not least, for all of you Bear followers, her surgery went well and she is as energetic as ever. She goes to school once a week and is learning so many new cute tricks. Will has diligently tried to teach her how to “Sic ‘Em” since the night we picked her up and she can finally do it. It is so darn cute. She is beautiful and I swear we could not love her more.

To close, my friend Brittany sent me an email with this in it and it really hit home. Especially with everything going on right now and so many people struggling: "When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly!" The power of one sentence!
