Sweets and I double dated with K&J.  Great fun with great friends!

A Quickie

Dad and I needed to do a little car swapping up in Boyne, so we drove up on a snowy Wednesday afternoon.  We were able to see the little man and have dinner with his parents too.

Good news: he still does the sweet little tuck and snuggle! Gah! Be still my heart! :)

He Drives Me...

...around :)

Did you think I was going to say nuts? or crazy?!  psht!  no!

The other night we we having a lazy afternoon of errands, visiting family, and picking up pizza for dinner when we both noticed how lovely the evening daylight was.  So we took a detour home and snapped these for good measure.

I should note: these we taken about 6 pm.  The temps and snow might not think so, but daylight tells me winter's back is breaking!  We're getting out of the dark days!

Partly Sunny with a High of 58

Does that sound like a January forecast to you?!  Me either!  But it was!  

The Mr. Honey and I have a bit of a checklist that we're working through, things we want to do.  One of the items was a trip to the Frederick Meijer Gardens.  He had never really been, and I love it, so we took advantage of the 58 degree Saturday in January.

Hello Fred and Lena!  

Victory for MSU!

And a Merry Christmas to my Sweet.

I got Mr. Sweet MSU bball tickets for Christmas, and I was so hoping he'd pick me to go as his lucky date!  Really had to twist his arm ;)

State toyed with Purdue for a while, then got their act together and won by 20 points!

Happy New Year!!!!!

Here's a fun collage of my favorites from 2012

A four day weekend was how I was able to celebrate the beginning of 2013!

It started with game night with friends, relaxing and running errands, a farewell, shopping in Traverse City, a Cherry Ball drop, cards with more friends, Home Alone 2, and a surprise bday party!  Can you say, 'celebrate good times! c'mon!!!'

Aaron was honored as a Hometown hero!

Me and Melissa in Downtown TC

1.1.13 Breakfast of Champions!

I suppose now is a good time to reveal my goals for 2013:

1 dozen batches of cut out cookies

3 Malcolm Gladwell books

DC touristy visit

Summer Boyne visit

Seinfeld viewing

Wish me luck!

Happy Christmas!

O Holy Night.

Throughout the season as I bought, wrapped, and gave gifts, I really tried to keep in mind the reason we go to all the effort.  

If our earthly father cares enough to give us good gifts, how much more does our heavenly father care to give us the greatest gift of all?  

Our Savior's birth.

Hoping yours was full of peace and joy!

Christmas at the Gardens

I havent visited the Frederick Meijer Gardens during Christmas in a long time, and I cant ever remember being there at night.  But I did both the other day!  It was SO beautiful.  There's no doubt that place is world class.  Santa was there, it was a poinsettia paradise, and the best part? it's tropical feeling even on the coldest and rainy days. :)

Star of Wonder

Darling crafts for the kids, and Jenn...

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
