Love Will Be Enough For Us

This afternoon, Mike and I took a trip to Eagle Creek Park to scout for locations for a family photo shoot we're doing next weekend.  We'd been to Eagle Creek a few times before, but never spent a lot of time just walking around.  Despite it being a grey, overcast day, it was still gorgeous to see the fall colors popping against the grey sky.

After we left the park, I told Mike that I don't need a big house with lots of rooms - I'd rather have a small old house with lots of land.  We don't need all the other stuff.  As long as I've got God, my man, and my dog, I'm good.  "Love will be enough for us."

There's a peace that comes over me when I'm away from it all - away from work, away from technology, and just at one with God in the nature He created.

We caught this man fly fishing.  It was rather interesting to watch him fish with this.

The water was calm enough that Mike had fun skipping rocks. 

My man.  I can't put to words how much I love this guy! 

It's blurry, but out of nowhere, this guy darted out in front of us on one of the trails near the lake.

It also reminded me of Brandon Heath's new song "Love Will Be Enough For Us" (You can listen to it here].)

Love Will Be Enough For Us
(Brandon Heath, Dave Barnes, Joe Moralez)

We’ll build a little cabin on a really tall hill
Plant a little garden, pray for every meal
And we'll grow and we'll grow
Take a little nap on the butterfly grass
Just you and I and the clouds that pass
Hold me close, hold me close

We'll be living out where the river bends
Where the grass gets green and the highway ends
Living easy
Where it’s you and me baby and the daffodils
Kids growing up in the rolling hills
And love will be enough for us

Rain’s coming down on the old tin roof
It’s a lullaby storm in the middle of June
Falling slow, falling slow

So what are we doing on the 7th floor
Of a high rise apartment praying for more

We’ll build a little cabin on a really tall hill
