this one

I don't even know where to begin with my thankfulness for him. He cracks me up on a daily basis. He loves the Lord. He gives godly advice. His wisdom blows my mind. He loves people. He is an amazing gift giver. He surprises me with little things all the time. He knows how to comfort me. He is a good teacher. He is patient with me. His creativity never ends. He encourages me in everything I do.

He is my best friend,

who is now my fiance,

and will become my husband in two months,

and for that I am thankful.

I'm thankful for you, Nathaniel Isaac Neale.

Love,

Anna Lee Kicker

new apartment...again!

Here are a few little peeks at our new apartment! We moved in the last week of October and we're absolutely in love with it. Definitely a huge thing to be thankful for! I still wake up sometimes and look around and think, "wow, is this real life??" 

 These are just small pieces of the puzzle, but there will be oh, so many more photos to come. I'm also so thankful for this space because it doubles as a photography studio! There is so much natural light, its insane. Here are a few photos from my first official shoot inside: 

Isn't she adorable?! 

So thankful for such a beautiful place to live and work!

these cute people and giving thanks.

Fall is here!

this is bryant & brookelyn. it was their two year dating anniversary. so sweet. they were so much fun to take pictures of! 

This is the season to give thanks, be with family, and eat a lot of yummy food. I love holidays! So, this month I'm going to follow suit after my good friend Lesley over at In Every Season and in each week of November I will list something I am thankful for! 

I'm thankful for gorgeous weather and beautiful colors! God is so good. He gives us beautiful gifts in all seasons and I especially love seeing all the leaves change colors. I could just sit and stare at all the bright red and yellow tree top out there all day long. And sometimes I get distracted while driving. I end up looking at the gorgeous leaves when I should be concentrating on the road...oops!

Can't say I'm quite as fond of the freezing cold rain, sleet, snow, and ice that comes afterward, but I do have a major exciting thing happening in the middle of  this coming winter, so on the contrary, I can't wait for it to get here.  

That's another thing I'm thankful for, but I will save that for a post next week!

What are you thankful for?
