Lunch breaks are great!

Typically I'm not very good at taking a lunch break...okay almost always. My husband gets really upset with me because he knows it's good for me to get up and out of the office. I just get stuck in a groove and don't want to move. It's terrible for my circulation and health... I'm getting better. My friend Jen at work helps a ton, she gets me movin'.

Last Friday was the beginning of Homecoming and the office was a little crazy...my brain was really tired and I just really wanted some Dr. Pepper and fresh air. I took a half hour break to drive over to my ever trusted (and cheap) SuperAmerica and got myself a big, icy, refreshing, Dr. Pepper! Then I decided to stop alongside the road to take some pics of this amazing tree...



It was so beautiful...




By the time I got back to work I felt like a new person! It's amazing what listening to your husband can do...

What does your husband, roommate, parent, or best friend tell you to do that you know you probably should?

Take time for "brain" rest. It makes things SO much better!

Oh, and remember how I'm supposed to tell you my husbands exciting news? Well I can't yet, haven't gotten the all clear from him. Some things have to fall into place and then I'll call for a pow-wow and let you know what's going on.

Peace Out Friends,
Jenny

Breath of fresh air

Tonight while dinner was cooking and I was waiting for my hard working man to get home I decided to take a walk with my camera (Big Shooter) to see what I might find. My creative juices were flowing and my excitement was sky high because tonight was beautiful! I was blessed to take a quiet walk through the neighborhood. I took around 200 pictures so I will give you a sneek peek each post for the next few posts.




Can you feel the warmth of the sun?




Or the cool breeze?








Absolute love!

P.S.- My husband called while I was out and delivered some amazing news but more on that later!

P.S.S.-Oh and I have pics from my lunchtime drive on Friday that I have to share too! Yay!

Ever heard of Petrified Wood?

Now before you go and think I'm talking about wood that is scared, I should clarify what petrified wood is...

Petrified Wood is the process of wood hardening over a long process of time. It turns the wood into stone.

It's actually pretty amazing but my husband and I on our trip this past summer made a stop at the Fossil Museum which turned out to be a collection of 'Petrified Wood'. We paid $20 to get into this particular museum and laughed our entire way through it as to the ridiculousness we were looking at.

As you'll see below...







Two thoughts...

1. I'm hitting an all time low of things to post pictures on...I'm posting petrified wood. It's time for a photo day/evening. Just planned one with my hubby! Yay! Anyone have ideas of good "free" places to get some good shots?

2. Blogger question...once I upload pictures for a blog post they all show up in HTML. How do I tell where one pic begins and one ends so I can write notes in between them? I am blog intolerant and need some help!

P.S.- I LOVE FALL!

Come Away With Me...

I love to listen to Norah Jones during the Fall.

My Fall favorites are:

cool breezes, hot tea, cinnamon roll candles burning, warm bread with soup, cookies fresh from the oven, sweatshirts and comfy pants, scarves, jeans, tennis shoes, day dreaming, spending time with great friends, movie nights, long conversations, and traveling to places full of color...







What's your favorite thing about Fall?
