Finally...pictures

I guess it's time to finally post a little something about my man! :) Almost four months ago I met Jason, while finishing up my Masters in Switzerland. It's been a whirlwind ever since! He is an amazing man, has a heart for God, and has quite an intriguing occupation! www.thirstmissions.org He has been a blessing in my life, and I have realized that God does answer prayers at just the perfect time. We have been able to see each other quite often - another blessing - but have unfortunately only taken a few pictures together!

So yes, I do have a boyfriend ladies and gentleman, and these are the first two, of many pictures, yet to come! Year 30 has definitely been the best yet!

This is a picture from my friend Leah's wedding. We met in Tulsa for the big event, and unfortunately, I cut off his head. The guy is 6'4" - not used to being around such tall people when trying to take pictures!
This picture is from two weeks ago, when I went to visit him in Minnesota. I took a few days off and enjoyed all the beautiful colors of fall. I posted some more pictures earlier on my blog - scroll down to see those.
God is good - Jason is a blessing - and I look forward to seeing what this chapter in life holds!

Pumpkin Patch 09


The weekend was finally here! It was time for the Pumpkin Patch and a Reunion. On Friday I drove up to Erin's house and headed up to Tyler with her and Greyson early Saturday morning. We met up with Heather and Brooklyn (3 yrs old-soon to be 4), Jen and Audrey (3 yrs old) and Abby (9 mo.), and then Erin and Greyson (4 yrs. old). I get thrown in as "Aunt Addie" and I loved every moment of it!

The weather was cool and humid - a perfect Fall day in East Texas! Take a look at the pictures and the memories we made on Saturday! I wonder how many new additions will be added by next year?!

































































































Baby Emma

Finally...pictures of Baby Emma! Due to illness, I was unable to meet Baby Emma Suggs the day she was born, but I made it to the hospital as soon as I could! She is precious, and at home now enjoying life in the Suggs household!

He survived!

Almost two weeks ago my boyfriend flew back to Texas. It was the weekend to meet "THE FAMILY." As most of you know, my family, well, has spunk - we'll just call it that! I don't know if it was more of me being anxious about this "step" to take, or more scared about what would come out of the mouths of my family, but all in all, it was a wonderful weekend! Things were a bit chaotic migratingfrom house to house, but as usual, God blessed each and every day. The family, especially Grandma, loved him! Looks like he gained the Nauman/Winkles approval...The real test is meeting Aunt KK and Alan! Now that should be interesting! :)

100 Posts and still going...

This is the most amazing time of year!

As most of you know, Fall is my absolute favorite season and unfortunately, I live in a part of the world in which the true colors of Autumn are rarely seen. Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit my boyfriend in Minnesota, and I do believe the leaves started changing colors just for me!

The high for the four days I was there was around 46 degrees - rainy, overcast, and perfect! We went to this state park and spent a few hours exploring the trails and trying to capture some of the beauty!

I had my fair share of football (Go Packers!) and baseball, Buffalo Wild Wings and cold weather. It was hard to leave Minnesota on Tuesday, not just because I was leaving my boyfriend, but I also couldn't get enough of those leaves! :) Year 30 has offered me more blessings than I could have ever imagined - God is good and I look forward to seeing what he has instore for the future. Can it really get any better?!
