Hello Monday

October 31, 2011

Hello camping with friends all weekend.

Hello sleeping under the stars with my love.

Hello Mogollon Rim. {Who said Arizona isn’t beautiful?}

Hello s’mores. Way too many s’mores. Hello Nutella/Banana, Reeces, Ritz cracker, Rolo s’mores.
{Did I ever tell you I am a s’more fanatic?}

Hello pretty fire that kept me warm at night.

Hello hiking around the woods.

Hello pretty lake.

Hello boys who are just slightly obsessed with chopping wood and building fires.

Hello personal lesson is wielding an ax.

Hello playing catch and frisbee and cards all day long.

Hello tiny patches of snow left over from last winter {it’s true!} and freezing toes.

Hello beautiful sunset. {And hello little moon up there in the corner.}

Hello warm coffee in the morning and hot cider in the afternoon.

Hello cute husband.

Hello new yearly tradition with Arizona friends.

{AND hello caffeine. I will need you to keep me awake today after staying up late to finish a paper….}

xoxo,
Jen

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
