On Saturday night we went with friends to the Greek Festival at the Lewis and Clark Landing.







We ordered a gyro - of course! Dolmathes, grape leaves stuffed with seasoned beef and rice; Spanakopita, baked pastry filled with feta cheese and spinach and finished off with some baklava!



What did you do this weekend?

My friend Jonathan was killed in a car accident on August 14 outside of our hometown. I still can't believe it happened. I have to praise God for the fullness of Jon's life, but at the same time my heart aches because I wanted him to stay.

I pray that God would be glorified in Jon's life and death. I made a play list of songs that I wanted to share. Songs that remind me where to rest.

Hello dear friends! It has been a while since we've posted on here and summer (feels like) it's coming to a close around our house. Aaron started school (with kids) on Monday and since I'm working full time now we're adjusting to a new routine.

One thing that I miss about being in the city are the open spaces and exposed sunrises. The summer before I left for college I remember I wanted to take a photo of the sunrise from one of my favorite spots. I woke up late that morning and I had planned to ride my bike to the location, so I remember pedaling as fast as I could with my camera bulging in my jacket pocket.

I made it to my spot just in time to catch the sunrise and I captured a couple of wild sunflowers in the photo as well. These photos below are not mine, but they remind me a lot of that morning and the picture I printed out and have had with me in every season since then.

Thanks to Meg Duerksen for sharing her photos from her home in Kansas. I just can't get enough of 'em so I wanted to share them with you. By the way, you'll love Meg's blog as well. Stop by!

Love to you all!
Laura
