[Dear: You.] [ From: Me.] ... post card address keeper freebie!

oh, computers.  you've confused me to pieces yet again...
i finally did it. i have been throwing the idea around a lot lately; but i finally did it.   

i made a freebie for your printing pleasures:

because keeping track of friends' addresses gets tough...& who doesn't love receiving a good ole fashioned postcard?!

i am officially clueless as to converting my xps's to pdf's & yadda yadda yadda's...
but you can download the image from this link & print away! (it is designed to be cut in half, leaving each around the size as an index card.)

p.s. i promise to learn soon so it's easier in the future! : )

{Quote of the Week.}

week {dreiundachtzig};

[Luebeck, Germany. Summer 2005.]

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”                 

-Mark Jenkins.

miracles of Love.

i just saw animals in the womb: dogs & cats, last sunday.  it simply blew my mind.  i found the images of the dolphin & elephant when reading more about the series on NationalGeographic.com.  Have you seen it?!  If not, it is definitely worth a rental.  

Life is pretty beautiful.

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."-audrey hepburn.

a beautfiul July wedding!

my beautiful cousin Julie got married this past weekend & i had the honor of being one of her bridesmaids.  This is right before the ceremony when we were all getting a little antsy.  So... we decided to all peak out the cry-room window to see the guests arrive.

pre-wedding bridesmaids & a quick snapshot of Jenny & me before the wedding commenced!

my nieces & nephew were flower girls & ring bearer!  they were darling & they were in awe when they first saw julie.  she really did look like Cinderella! 

Eeps i adore this picture.  How great is the smile on their faces!

the reception site was a beautiful winery where they had dinner indoors & dancing was outside next to a pond!  it was dreamy.

miss natalie decided to pal around with me & the bridal party during part of the reception.  She is so bashful!

we attempted a grandkid + great grandkids photo while we all were at the reception- i love it! (though we were missing a few of us...we missed you christopher & samantha!)

last dance of the night...

Congratulations, Julie! I am so excited for you & Garrett- you made a gorgeous bride & your wedding was even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!  (it seems like yesterday we were lying in your bed with jenny, taking turns talking about what we wanted our big day to be like!)  time flies! 

-I love you, Julie & Garrett!
