SLACKER-SnapShots of November

I am a slacker on this blog. I am so sorry to all 3 of you who read it. ;)

November was a wonderful month! It was seriously fabulous.

-I got a haircut (LOVE!!)

-went to a mountain cabin with the husband for a romantic getaway

-I attended an awesome fitness event

-ate at a salad/soup bar complete with free ice cream (YUMM)

-my birthday happened<--Jared made it super special for me <3

-fun date nights with Jared were amazing (Cafe Rio, movies, dinners, fro yo)

-spent 11 days in StL with my family(!!!!!)

-enjoyed Thanksgiving

-family pictures (another post)

-Festival of Trees with my man

-Uhhh I worked. And taught fitness classes. Lots.

-Lights on Temple Square with Jared's fam!! fun!

-and other random amazingness (reading, napping, etc.)

I feel very blessed. Just because I don't post stuff doesn't mean I don't feel lucky, blessed, and watched over by my Heavenly Father. 

I don't necessarily always feel the need to shout out to the world what I've done, what I've experienced, and/or the tender mercies that the Lord has blessed me with, but I do want you all to know that He lives. He loves me & you. And He cares VERY much about the details of our lives. My life is living proof of this.

Now, as usual, photo dump time. ENJOY!

I admire anyone who does!

{it was fun to be a part of it though.}

Temple Square lights

I am one lucky, blessed, and happy lady.

Thank you family (not everyone wants to be on the blog, sorry if you wanted to see more) for being amazing & making the trip to StL<--for some it was a looonnngg drive! SOO glad we were all together. We missed Jacob who is on his mission, but he's where the Lord needs him.

I have amazing parents, fabulous siblings, great in-laws, adorable nieces/nephews, cute animals in StL, and one freaking amazing, compassionate, hilarious & studly husband. 

What a lovely November that was with the people I love & adore!!
