Romantic getaway to Arizona! : ) And a surprise party upon our return!

Jason had a trade show near Tucson, AZ last week so to help celebrate my upcoming BIG (40th!) birthday and our 15 year wedding anniversary that we celebrated this past March, he asked me to go with him this time around.....and of course, I accepted the invitation! : ) What a beautiful area of the United States to visit! And my hubby thought of everything to spoil me rotten! He had my diamond reset in my wedding ring (had lost the setting awhile back!) and surprised with that while on our flight out.....then he treated me to a shopping trip in Sedona, a few really nice dinners out...and a romantic lunch by the river one day....wow!!! We flew out of Indy early Tuesday morning and spent the rest of the week enjoying each other's company, relaxing by the pool, eating wonderful food, and touring the area of Sedona as well! What a wonderful time to reconnect and re-energize! We returned home late Saturday night and then Sunday after church, Jason, along with my family and close friends surprised me with an early birthday party over at our church rec center.....I was in shock to say the least! I am abundantly, beyoned-words...blessed and am so thankful for all that God has given me! : )

Fall fun....

We are enjoying the beautiful fall season here in Indiana.....my all-time favorite time of the year! Although it's been unseasonable warm this time around....I'm ready for chilly weather, sweaters and the smell of a bonfire every night! : ) We have been able to take advantage of our fire pit and great woods next to the house and have already had a couple nights of roasting marshmallows and sitting around the fire, one of our favorite past-times as a family! This past weekend we decorated pumpkins, had our family over for soup and yummy bread, celebrated my youngest niece's 17th birthday (where does the time go?) and spent a day at King's Island amusement park with the kiddos and some friends! What fun times! Here are a few photos from recently. Just trying to take time every single day to thank God for who He is and all that He has given us!!!!
