AUTUMN AND A WINTER WONDERLAND IN THE MIDWEST

I had the opportunity to travel to a small, cute, farm town in Iowa with Ben and his family. It was a trip for the books, and we made memories I am so thankful for. We began our road trip journey in early November, so we were able to see many colors and changing leaves. We thought autumn leaves would be the theme of the entire trip, but once we were in Iowa, in began to snow. It was a winter wonderland that was bright and magical, reminding me of Narnia. Aside from the beautiful landscapes, the memories were timeless. Ben's sister, Lily, and I bonded so much. We spent evenings on the porch having refreshing conversations about the Lord, about life, and about our interests, which was such a blessing. We all laughed and made hot cocoa every night. I couldn't imagine a better way to bridge autumn and winter!
