Christmas Tree 2009

Well, it’s that time of year again and this year I thought I’d put up a little something of us decorating our tree. Check out the little video below and be sure to read the captions of the photos (all captions are below the photos). Enjoy.

We don’t really have a “mantle” so to speak, so our TV stand is going to have to do to hang up those stockings.

Oh, The Joys of Weddings

Oh, The Joys of Weddings

I couldn’t resist. Hopefully this shot doesn’t work against me…no really, I have ones where they’re smiling too! “She’ll love it when she’s older.” - Quote from the mom immediately after I took this shot.

Hear, See, and Do – #11

HEAR: “The Meaning of Justification” By My Pastor, Scott Ardavanis
[audio:http://placeritachurch.com/home/140005082/140005082/audio/The%20Meaning%20of%20Justification.mp3]
I really do sit under some incredible teaching every week. Our pastor has preached on this subject before, but every time I hear it I’m reminded just how important justification really is. Click the play button above to listen to the sermon or go here.

SEE: “Autumn Scenes” on The Big Picture

If you’re not regularly reading and seeing The Big Picture, make sure and add it to your RSS reader. The photos they put together are fabulous (and not to mention HUGE) and I find that it regularly gives me a little overview of what’s going on around the world. This week they put together a set of photos called “autumn scenes” that just really bring out the full colors of fall. Definitely take a few minutes to browse through these beautiful images.

DO: Get Out and See Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D!
We went last weekend and it was well worth it! Both movies are fabulous and are pretty much becoming Disney classics, and the way Disney has put together the whole two film thing is great. We’re talking two movies for the price of one! The glasses are comfy (and will fit over any regular glasses) and the films are hilarious — even if it’s your third or fourth time seeing them. We had the luxury of seeing them at the ArcLight theater (I even got a hot dog delivered to my seat), but if you don’t have one of those nearby I’m sure your favorite theater will do. There’s only 6 days left to see em’ so hurry up!
