New pictures!

Yesterday, Jeff and I had the honor to be models for my sweet friend Joke!

It was really great to work with her as a photographer!

She was a bit nervous because it was her first real shoot, but I think it all turned out amazing!

We were so relaxed during the shoot, it is so nice if your photographer is a dear friend! 

It makes the whole process a little less unnatural!

These five are my favourites I think :)

If you need some more practice Joke, just give us a call ;)

Paris!!

We're going to Paris!!!
Jeeeej!!

Jeff's aunt lives there and she invited us to come, as a wedding present. She'll get us tickets for a show, we'll stay at one of her flats and she'll show us around :)
SO EXCITING!
We've been there once for a day, but now it'll be a weekend!
Any tips??

I'd really would like to buy an art piece, a sketch of Paris or something like that!

We're going the last weekend of November... Just one more month of waiting haha!

Have you been there?
Any recommendations??

Lazy Sun(ny)day - gotta love fall!

Yesterday was one of the few times that Jeff and I didn't go to church! I was so tired and we were running late so I decided we'd stay home... Jeff wasn't too happy with that, but we still had an awesome day :)

The weekend has been very bright and sunny (but still very cold): perfect for fall walks!!

 We went to the "Kluisbos" which I had never been to!

We first had to CLIMB our way up hah! Not really, there were even moms with little children in baby carriages but they were having a lot of trouble getting up the hill! (We had trouble too...)

It was kinda crowded but we managed to find a more quiet route that most parents with babies didn't take :) 

We had such a great time, we laughed so much! 

I really enjoyed our time together...

In the evening we decided to dine out at Amadeus.

Amadeus is a cozy place where you can eat ribs à volonté. (Also other stuff, but it's kinda not OK for us to go there and NOT eat ribs!)

Yezzz, ribs I said :)

Jeff surprised me and only had 2 of them... 

When we go there with a bunch of friends the guys will always make it a competition to eat the most...

VERY healthy!

While walking home we had a great chat and so much fun, I felt very happy :)

And then we found this in the middle of the street:

Yeah... A random beer bottle...

It cracked me up and I HAD to take a picture for y'all :)

"This is Belgium. Land of Beer (aannnnd chocolate!)"

Fall Challenge 2011!

Today, the 31 Day Fall Challenge started over at Women Living Well!

I've been waiting for this thing since... Last year?
Last year I was participating in my dorm room, just for myself. Now I can look at how my husband reacts to it :) So exciting!! It feels way more important because the love of my life could be affected by this...

31 days long we'll be doing this challenge, every week something new will be added to the previous "challenge".
This week's challenge:

“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”

Light a candle and begin praying over your home every time the glimmer of the candle catches your eye.

I've cheated a bit and I bought 2 big candles at the Ikea on saturday already! I knew the challenge was coming up and I knew I wouldn't be able to find reasonably priced candles in this still unknown city, so when we were in the Ikea I talked Jeff into buying 2 candles (you never know how long they last, do you?)

So here is my candle!
We've had a hard weekend, and we really need some prayer and some peace in our home... So I'm happy for this little reminder!

I'll be lighting the candle during my quiet time, when I'm at our living room and from the moment Jeff arrives.

Why don't you consider taking the challenge too? It's just for one month but it could change so much!!

First day of Fall

Yesterday was the first day of fall!!
It's a day I've come to love over the years, because it's also my Daddy's birthday :)
Happy birthday Daddy!

To celebrate this first fall day, Jeff and I took a long walk around the place where we'd love to buy a house, the Flemish Ardennes.

Excuse my mad look, I like doing faces while Jeff is trying to take a nice picture ;)

Look at the amazing view behind us! Love it!

One of the houses I love, is this one:

I love how it is just in the middle of nowhere and that it has such a long private drive-way!

Keep on dreaming, I'd say...

Temperatures have dropped, it's really getting colder... But that's a part of what I like about fall! Putting back on those warmer clothes, lighting scented candles to scare away the darkness, nature changing...

Mmmm... I LOVE fall!!
