Brown Paper Packages #1

I've decided to start a new series called "Brown Paper Packages" which will basically consist of Our Favorite Things (If you don't catch the reference, watch the South of Music). It's basically going to be somewhat of a review of awesome things that have happened.

Now, before you start judging me for being a braggart or a show-off or arrogant, please note that I don't anticipate these types of posts to be primarily about us or things that have happened to us. Honestly, its an excuse to brag about people we love and show others how awesome they are!

So, without further adieu....Brown Paper Packages.

This Engagement Picture

Not only does the photo show one of my best friends with her fiancé, it also completely shows her devout faithfulness to the Green Bay Packers. My only regret is that the cheesehead didn't make it into the picture. ADDITIONALLY, another one of my best friends was the photographer! Great job at being awesome, Katie and Kaitlin (and Dustin)!


This Ministry

My mother-in-law has recently started a Women's Ministry at their church. After only a few events, I count over 20 women in this photo alone! So thankful that Nathan and I both have parents who have chosen to follow God's calling on their life and set great examples for their children. Thanks for being awesome, God!


This Bedhead

My friend's two year old daughter is so beautiful even with this craziness on her head! Its so hilarious!... thats all I really have to say. Thanks for the awesome pictures of your kids, Melissa!


This Weather

As you may have remembered, last Saturday gave us some AWESOME WEATHER! It was above 60 degrees, if I recall correctly. Nathan had gone to a Predators game, so I decided to walk Koba around the block to enjoy the sunny day. And when I say walk, I mean carry. We talked to a few neighbors who were also enjoying the day. At the end of the walk, I wanted to send Nathan some pictures of our adventure. Here are just a few of what I got. Koba has proven over and over again that he has ADHD when we go outside. Anyway, it was still a great day! You gave an awesome 60 degree day in February, weather!


This Accomplishment

What can I say, my cousin is talented. She got freaking first chair in the whole state of Tennessee in choir! #NotSurprised She is honestly, probably the best singer I have ever heard in my life. I'm glad I taught her everything I know. Just kidding. But seriously, I remember when she was about 10 or 12 her singing some random 80s song ("whats up" by 4 non blondes) with her dad and thinking, "...wow..." She has only gotten better. Awesome job, Kait!


So, these are just a few things that I have come across this week alone that have become some of my favorite things. Leave a comment of one of your "brown paper packages"... or don't. Thats ok too.
