My blessings for this week & a Photo Share Opp!

One of my favorite photos from my photography class: Union Street Bridge from Boardman River in downtown Traverse City, MI.

• I've felt extremely blessed to have some extra time off during the last few weeks so that I could spend some time with the family. Rylan and I went to the park several times a week and just spent time together playing, learning and having fun. I loved it!
• We received a real gift this week from Mike L*, one of my co-workers. He gave me a bunch of clothes that his son has out grown. Rylan will be able to use them for quite some time. I'm so grateful to him for this gift. I hope someday that I will be able to do something for his family.
• I'm so excited that Autumn is here. I'm not normally a "fall" person but this year I seem to be. It's the beginning of the holiday season so I'm very excited. I'd like to start getting the house and garage organized so that when we can put up the holiday decorations, it will be easier.
• Great friends! I've been able to communicate with more of my friends lately either through email or blogging. It's so great to connect with friends that I haven't seen or talked to in quite some time and share our lives with each other. I'm always looking to make new friends out there in the blogging world.
