Happy Sad

Christmas lights!Christmaslights!

We went driving last night and it was wonderful to hear little voices in the back yelling, “CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!”

We live near a business that really decks out their whole place with lights. It is a beautiful display and as far as I know they do not get anything from it!

The boys were in awe when we drove past.

So on behalf a mom that gets to see the joy on her little boys faces, THANK YOU to everyone that takes the time to decorate their house for Christmas.

I am already a little sad that it has to end.

I am a glass half empty kind of person I guess.

I will really miss the no arguing in the backseat because of the awesome distraction from the Christmas lights.

Anyone want to join with me to keep the Christmas lights on all year?

Your neighbors won’t mind!

Well, as long as I am your neighbor…

Talimena Scenic Drive

For my birthday this year we went down to the Ouachita National Forest to hike!

We have done this for the past three years and I have enjoyed it everytime!

For those of you that are dying of curriostity…

I am 27

I remembered!!!

I have trouble forgetting how old I am.

I get weird looks from people when I say that.

mylittlemanWe stayed in a cabin in Lake Wister State Park

It was a pretty nice cabin and very reasonably priced.

It is about thirty miles north of Ouachita National Forest.

You could tell by the fact he was flying away from me.

silhouteI took a similar picture the first time we hiked here so I had to try for another one!

It was windy and cold.

My subjects were less then willing.

But I won, that is all that matters.

driveFound this little side road while we were driving on the Talimena Scenic Byway! I love it!

If you live in the Eastern part of Oklahoma you have to take a drive on the Talimena in the fall! Breathtaking!

talimenascenicSee? You know you want to be here.

talimenaI wanted to move here.

My husband very sweetly reminded me that it does not look like this all year round.

I think it does.
