Hiking pics

I love fall...the colors, the cool air! My sis-in-law Stephanie and I decided to get out there in it even though we were busy. So glad we did! It cleared my head and gave me a new outlook for the week. These were taken at Stone Mtn, GA.

We were crazy nature girls and put leaves in our hair....

Here are some recent pictures of me & Jeff. We never seem to get any together, but that doesn't mean we don't love each other!

Christmas???

Please, nobody shoot me for bringing this up so early, but do we want to draw names again this year? I'm starting to think about Christmas gifts, and I was wondering if we could nail something down.

I liked the drawing names thing, but it might be hard to get us all together. Maybe we could just do a "chart" for the next five years (yes, I'm being a nerd about this) and not have to think about it again.

What about something like this for this Christmas (using just the sibling names to make it simpler)

Dayton--gift for Will
William--gift for Laurance
Laurance--gift for Emily
Emily--gift for Charles
Charles--gift for Dayton (this last part kind of makes sense since he'll be over there for Christmas!)

Over the next few Christmases we could mix it up so everyone gets everyone one year. (So, Christmas '07: D/W, W/L, L/E, E/C, C/D. Christmas '08: D/L, W/E, L/C, E/D, C/W. Christmas '09: D/E, W/C, L/D, E/W, C/L. Christmas 2010: D/C, W/D, L/W, E/L, C/E.)

Just an idea. Of course, if someone is feeling especially giving :) they could give gifts to everyone. I don't want this to limit anyone's giving impulses--but realistically we all have many other people to buy for.

GUAM UPDATE:
The Lord is good--so far, I've been staying healthy, and starting to
get more sleep.
School here is keeping me pretty busy, but i'm starting to get in the
swing of things and have some free time on weekends now :)
It's kinda weird living 5 minutes from the beach/reef--but cool
too. I was going to go snorkling/spearfishing this past Friday night
on a beach/reef about 1/2 hr. away with some guys from my church as
we have some extra time b/c of a school holiday this Monday (Columbus
Day), but there was a thunderstorm so the waves were too rough, so we
just camped out on the beach--some slept in a tent and got wet, but I
just slept in the van and stayed high and dry!
I think we're going to go again sometime when the weather is better-
-maybe a few weeks from now. :) It should be fun.
