Monday Musings: Fall Edition

Wow!! How about this weather!! It feels like Fall and it is September in Middle Georgia! Woah!

In honor of the weather, we will talk about all things Fall today, so be prepared.

Porches: We will now be sitting on the porch often, as long as the dog doesn't bark at everyone who walks by. Maybe we'll get to know more neighbors with the cooler weather :)

Boots: Oh boots.....need I say more.

Scarves: So pretty, yet so simple. I didn't get to wear my scarves much last year, cuz it never got that cold, but you can bet that I will make a point to wear them this year. They are so much fun!!

Pumpkin Spice Latte: Totally had one last week, and my day was made. That WILL be happening again:)

Pumpkin bread: The hubby has already requested it, so I'm sure it will appear in the Fincher house in the near future. I might share my recipe (not really mine, but I'll send you in the right direction to find it) Maybe I could make some rounds to the neighbors....I know you want to be my neighbor now!

Leaves: I always try to make a point to notice the leaves changing in the fall. It is so easy to get busy and forget to look, but God creates such beauty that just radiates His own beauty. So thankful for beautiful colors in the Fall.

What do you love about Fall??

In Christ,

Birthday Time!

Let's take a minute to celebrate the man in my life. I know you probably do not care to celebrate him, but you should. He's pretty awesome! Although I try to celebrate him all the time, I especially celebrate him now because he just had a birthday!!

Happy Birthday Jared!

(I know it looks like we're underwater...wouldn't it be cool if we were!)

(Dirt Cake!!!!!Yeah!)

He is the perfect man for me, and I thank God for him everyday. 

Have a great Wednesday!

We have a Birthday Boy!

I know I am so very late, but Jared's birthday was last month. It wasn't anything crazy and exciting, but we did our best:) We had balloons, signs, cake, gifts, and friends! I love Jared so so much! He means the world to me! I'm so blessed to have him as a husband and a friend. I pray that God continues to grow, challenge, and encourage him as he begins another year of life. I pray that I can be his help, his encouragement, and his support. Thank you Lord for blessing Jared with another year of life; I pray that it is used to lift up His name in Macon and in the world.

Happy Birthday Jared!!

I've got some post ideas, so hopefully there will be more to come!

Week at a Glance

Last week we went to the 'ol Birmingham to see family and friends. It was a refreshing visit. I forgot my fancy camera, so I resorted to Instagram, which worked quite well I think. The pictures may be a little more random but that is OK. So here we go:

_____________________________________________________________

This kept us going on the way over there; it always does :)

 On Tuesday, we went to the McWane Center, which is like a hands-on science center for kids. We went with my sister-in-law, Anna, my mom, and our two nephews. It was a lot of fun! 

Jared is in a smoke tornado with Jordan-I think. 

Later, we went to eat at a local pizza place with them and my brother joined.

 This is their whole family; even baby Asa made it in the picture:)

This is what most of the rest of the week looked like- 

playing "Hanging with friends" on the iPhone or...

reading my new book. So far it is very good. It's really making me think, and changing my perspective on a lot of things. I may give a further review once I've finished it. 

On Friday and Saturday, Jared was in a wedding in Mississippi, so we went to the rehearsal dinner on Friday, and this is my hair-do. I don't normally take pictures of my hair, but I finally bought bobby pins and was able to pin my hair up (I was actually taking the picture to see if it looked good or not). I thought it was rather pretty:)

And this was the best part of the whole week- well maybe not the best but the most adventurous- we stayed in a real life cabin in the deep country of Mississippi. It was so cute, as you can see. It was literally one big room with a kitchen and bathroom. It was fun for one night, not sure I would do it for much longer than that, but it really was nice. The people were extremely kind to let us stay there for the night, seeing that we had no where else to stay:) 

_____________________________________________________________

And that is all the pictures from the week. I wish I had thought to take pictures with people. It'll happen one of these days. I didn't even take a picture of one of the most exciting parts of the weekend. Two of our good friends got engaged Sunday night, and we had a big surprise party. It was so much fun; I love it! I'm so excited for the two of them; I can't wait to see how God uses them together to spread His name.  

Well, now we're back to normal life. We jumped right into a busy week this week. And we're into a nice relaxing weekend now. I start school on Monday, so that'll definitely be keeping me busy for a while.

Now, I have one more picture to share as I close:

Thank you, Lord, for cool summer rains. 

Have a good weekend!
