Wednesday Ramblings | December in Photos
In December:
Of course, there was food. And by food, I mostly mean sugar and cookies and more sugar.
There were celebrations: two weddings, Candlelight Christmas Eve and three Christmases.
There were fiery sunsets that I really just can’t get enough of.
There were random things like blogger meetups, Christmas decorations, love notes from my hubs and a little bit of snow.
You might remember a little road trip that Paul and I took a few weeks ago.
Well, it wasn’t any old road trip. He had a job interview. With a new church. In a new town.
And the news is, that he got it! (I snapped this shot when they called to offer him the job!
At the end of this month, we will be packing up our little loft and moving to Mid-Missouri to begin a whole new chapter. We have a contract on a house…there were seriously deer in the yard when we looked at it:
Oh, and these monster ice cream cones? They came from a local dairy in our new city. Someone help me!
I think 2013 can go ahead and bring it.
How exciting! Although, I’m sad you’re leaving KC.
Congrats to Paul on the new job! 🙂

Thanks, Christina! It’s definitely bittersweet!
Congratulations on this exciting new journey in your life!!! Last night when you told me you were moving I thought to myself “I bet THAT is the road trip she took with the gorgeous giant ice cream cones!” LOL. So happy for you friend!!! The best is yet to be. 🙂

Cassie, that’s so exciting! And terrifying, I’m sure. So many emotions all at once. I wish I could help you pack, I’d be there in a second.
Cassie replied: — January 10th, 2013 @ 12:59 pm
You are the sweetest! Yes, all of those emotions wrapped into one!
Congrats!! Although I have a feeling your neighbor, Ali, must be a little bit sad. Here’s to 2013 for you!! 🙂

Thanks Chelsea! I could definitely see coming to town for meetups every-so-often!
I’m related to two of these photos (THREE if you count church!) The baking party was totally in my mini-book as a highlight too! And I already knew about the job and the move, but now that I know that’s where the ice cream is, I’m even more excited for you guys!

Haha! We moved to WI in the spring and they have at least two wicked custard places….dangerous, I tell you 🙂
Cassie replied: — January 10th, 2013 @ 1:02 pm
Yes, so dangerous!
I would do a back flip for one of those cones right about now…
