To the Mountains!

The weekend before Thanksgiving we headed to North Carolina to my aunt & uncle's mountain house--very appropriately named "Hallelujah"--for so many reasons, each and every one of them realized the very first time you watch the sun crest over the hills shedding the day's first light on the mountains surrounding you. This is hands down one of my very favorite places. Ever. It's an amazing place to bask in the greatness of our God and the earth He created for us. I feel like no matter what stresses & worries I come with, they melt away during my stay & I leave feeling relaxed & refreshed. It's a rejuvenation for the soul!

"I lift my eyes unto these hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."
-Psalm 121:1

Some of my favorite things about Hallelujah...Spending precious time with my family

Snuggling on the couch in jammies with these two cutie pies

Watching the sunrise...coffee in one hand, this little fella in the other :)

Did I mention the sunrise?!

Playing outside...the air doesn't get much fresher than in the mountains!

Capturing sweet moments of my boys


Running around the yard with my best lil' buddy

Hallelujah!
