from us to you


Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains He shall break, for the slave is our brother,
and in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweets hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Tonight, my prayer for everyone reading this is that you may know the Hope you have in a Savior who loves you and is soon returning to make all things new.

From our family to you, have a very Merry Christmas!

girls got skillllss

I know that the five of you who read my blog also read my best friends blog. BUT, just in case I get a random wanderer on here, I wanted to share with you her blog and business page.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the beautiful Tiffany Valdez. Wife, Mother, and crazy talented graphic designer!


Tiffany designed all of our INCREDIBLE printed goods from our wedding. The invites, program fans and even the little honey jar labels. She has done several other weddings as well.  


Along with weddings, she also designs suuuuuper cool birthday invites, Christmas cards, birth announcements, save the dates... basically ANY of your paper needs, she can supply : ) On top of having a super quality product, she is just a great woman! This business makes it possible for her to be home with her sweet little boy and all the other little ninos to come in the future.

So, next time you are in the market for some paper goods. Remember See The Skyline!
Here are links to all of her pages.

Happy Weekend everyone!

tis' the season


Christmas season has BEGUN. Tuesday night, Nate and I started putting up our decorations! Being that our apartment is a teeeeeeny tiny little treasure, finding a place for the tree was quite the predicament. We also realized at almost 9pm that we left our tree lights in Illinois. So, we took a late night trip to Target... looked down every Christmas decor aisle, had a long, serious debate on whether to choose white or big bulb colored lights. We decided since the tree is teeny along with our home that the colored lights would be a bit much. But when we have a house and the LUXURY of getting a real tree, oooh boy will we get the big bulb colored lights! For some reason, the two apartments that we have lived in have had specific rules in the lease agreement against live Christmas trees?! What in the world could be harmful about a glorious live evergreen?! Oh well! We still need to add the ornaments, but since I had a few extra moments this evening I thought I would share some snapshots of the Parker Christmas Wonderland : )

Tomorrow is fridaaay and I am so looking forward to this weekend! Crafting with a sweet friend after work, going to STEAK N' SHAKE with our fellow midwestern-ers (YES, it's true... the very FIRST Colorado Steak n' Shake just opened!!), work Christmas party aaaaaaand hitting the slopes on Sunday before Church. God is SO gracious and my heart feels so thankful for the blessing that this season of life has been. 

Have a good weekend!!
