Almost Wordless Wednesday: A Walk in the Woods…

Last week, we went on a beautiful walk in some nearby woods with some friends.  The woods are right outside of town and have beautiful walking and biking trails…

We had such a lovely time just spending time with our sweet friends (the Furloughs) and enjoying God’s beautiful creation. It was absolutely breathtaking back there and it was nice to just spend a little time to “enjoy what God has created around us” and not be thinking about everything else that is going on in life.Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Friends, and Walking Trails 084

Sweet Elizabeth…she is such a blessing to me.  God knew that I would need someone like her to brighten my day and to make me laugh every single time I was around her during these last couple of months...  Seriously, she is one of the cutest little girls that I know.  I love her so very much.  Btw, sweet girl, I hope you had a wonderful birthday on Monday!  I can’t believe that you’re 6 years old!  Happy Belated Birthday! :)Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Friends, and Walking Trails 088

The guys (Trey, Josh, Andrew, and Nate) wanted to look for Civil War bullets while we were there.  They found a few when they went out there the last time, but they really wanted Andrew to be able to have some of his own.  They finally did find a couple in the end as we were leaving and most of us had already packed back up in the van.  It was pretty awesome to say the least.  How many times have YOU found bullets from the Civil War era?Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Friends, and Walking Trails 097
