Thanksgiving in Memphis

It's a busy holiday season for me! Jordan and I just got back from our Thanksgiving trip to Memphis and now we're jumping right in to preparing for his family to arrive for Christmas at the end of the week! Just a little time now to finish up Christmas shopping, do a little cleaning and try not to feel like a crazy person!

Before I get too carried away with the Christmas spirit, I thought I'd share a few photos from our trip to Memphis. If you've been following along on this blog for a while, you may know that the last time I saw my parents was in Mexico for Christmas last year. But over the summer they relocated to Memphis, Tennessee and this was our first time to visit.

A new day with a new view #sautersinmemphis

We did a few touristy things:

▲ Beale Street all lit up.

▲ The famous ducks at the Peabody Hotel. One is giving me a nibble in this photo.

▲ The neighborhood my parents live in is walking distance to the zoo, so I tried to go every day.

And we had some great family time, enjoying both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

▲ My mom and I cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time together.

▲ My cousins and Jordan's brother also live nearby. It's like we're a Memphis family!

▲ Keeping tabs on you all while on the road! :)

Sounds like a terrific time. I had no idea they had pandas at that zoo! My youngest will be so excited to learn of that and will now bug me for a trip down there!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
