“The not yet will be worth it”

i have definitely been a slacker on the blog front. sorry. 

however, while you wait for me to actually put the photos and stories of what our life has been about the last couple of months, i leave you with this:
 
a great article on the meaning of Christmas and Advent and how we live our lives as believers. 

 

Why care about Advent?

i took this photo on the side of the road in central california, near paso robles... it continues to fascinate me.

it really doesn't just look like a photograph to me!

p.b.

pebble beach, that is.

because h and i are such big golfers ;) we decided to detour through pebble beach.  a good call, i must say. 

beautiful scenery, several opportunities to 'rock jump' (something that dates back to my childhood), a paparazzi experience (not as exciting as you'd think when it's a group of middle-aged ladies), and a delicious lunch.
