Winter is Here!

Early this morning Milwaukee received it's first official snow of the year.   A couple weeks ago we received some flurries - but nothing that really covered the ground enough to be considered the first snow (by my standards I guess!).   

Snow really does make the world sparkle.   I love the way our house looks blanketed by snow:

Divine Romance

Griffin and I have so many great memories from the wedding.   We were blessed with such a great day that we are able to fondly look back at almost every moment.   

I think my favorite part of the whole day, by far, was the ceremony.   It was such a personal and spiritual experience for the two of us.    We loved the ceremony site, the guests, the readings and the music.   Even though it has been 2+ months I still cannot stop singing the song my dear friend Dave sang for us during the lighting of the unity candle and communion.   It is a song by Phil Wickham called "Divine Romance".   I have been thinking about this song alot lately so I thought I would add it to the blog.

Also, I want to give a big "THANK YOU!!" shout out to Dave Fladung.   It meant so much to Griffin and me to have him sing at our wedding.  He is such a dear friend with such an amazing talent.   His music was a blessing to us and a sweet addition to the ceremony.

The Celebration Continues......

This weekend Griffin and I had a local wedding celebration in Morton, Illinois.  Griff's parents, Rudy and Paula, hosted the reception at their country club.  It was a GREAT party.  Griffin and I spent the night talking with guests so we didn't get to take many pictures, but here are a couple below:

Pumpkin Carving

Last year Griffin and I carved our first pumpkin together.   It turned out great!   Last year we carved a pumpkin in honor of Marquette so this year was in honor of Indiana.    Not sure what next year will be.......!?!?

This year's pumpkin - Go IU!

Last year's pumpkin - Go MU!
