Today was for grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s, a little bit of house tidying, and left overs for dinner. We hung the Christmas present that I made for Nate in the entry way this evening. The first medal/bib is from Nate’s first marathon, where his Dad was there to greet him after the race. The second medal/bib is from his second marathon, which he ran just shortly after his Dad passed away. I snapped photos at the end of each, his Dad hugging him after the first one and his Mom hugging him after the second one. I think this is the reason I love photography so much. The ability to stop time and keep a moment forever. I love that Nate will always have these pictures.
Have a great week ahead, friends. We’re facing a cold few days ahead around here. It was in the 50s today and we’ll be in the negatives for the high tomorrow!

That is such a sweet gift, and I bet he really appreciated it 🙂
He did, more than I could have anticipated. <3
That is such a wonderful, thoughtful gift.
He loved it and it makes me so happy. 🙂 I struggle to think of good gifts, so it's all down hill from here. Heh.
Oh wow, what a perfect gift! So touching. For those who run marathons, we'll always remember our first one. -Jess L
