New experiences

Breakfast with the babes. First day of training up at shadowlands. Russell wedding at Cloudland Canyon. Old friends leave, new friends come. Picnic dinner and reading. Cloudy browood sunset. Forrest Gump and lampshade collaging with the ladies. 

If yesterday had a title, what would it be?

Swimming on the brow. Biking to covenant, hard up hills, roller coaster down hills. Dinner with the Russell's and Polks, lots of laughs and memories shared. Shuffle box tournament. 

Late nights and bites

Morning grading with Russell. Beautiful baby shower for Faith with the old soccer ladies. Rope swinging, titanic enacting, floating dock sailing, trampoline tricks and flips. First day of work; tired feet, dirty hands, pockets with money. Late night yoga session.

Sunflower

Morning spent reading and writing heart felt letters to those dear to me. Dentist appointment with Ella, with much frustration. Video watching and joking with the track team. Pedicures and car jamming with Shelby, Carofine and Eden. Miday bike rides around Apollo and up to covenant with my trust companion Pippin. Movie watching with the little ones. Afternoon yoga session. Cfc game, bubble soccer, cheesy pizza, new Chattaholigan members, random down pour. Snuggling up with cucumber water and watching Modern Family with the family. Another before bed yoga session. 

Old Friends New Friends

Morning thank you letters, flat tires, breakfast and lunch smoothies. Long walks and talks on Racoon Mountain with Meredith. Dinner and late night talks with Emmeline. God is good, all the time. Ask and He will grant it to you. Late night yoga session.

Spontaneous

Morning meditation, reading and journalling. Swimming, horseback riding, trampoline playing day at LB. Paddle boarding around Maclellan Island. Headstand and yoga pose attempts. Ice cream with the guys and Marsh and Shelb. Back porch dinner with the family. Hang gliding place to watch the sunset… more like watch the storms roll in with Ella. Yoga and photography was essential in that moment. Talking about the universe and the enormity of what God has created. 

Best Friends

A day with the best friends. Church with the whole family, picnic with the little sisters, Goodwill, favorite foods, spontaneous piercings, Freaks and Geeks, impossible questions, revealing answers. 

Commencement

Graduation day, mostly smiles but a few tears. It's a weird time, seems like there isn't much going on in my life that I'm used to. I am now completely in charge of my life. I can do what I want, when I want. This is both terrifying and exciting. The future holds so much but the past should never be forgotten.

The end of a season

Thankful for this guy and his influence in my life. He has changed the way I view myself and all that is around me. Track has pushed me farther than I knew I could be pushed, and having Russell by my side every step of the way made it so much more memorable and valuable to me. Wonderful end of the year track party at the lake, with many tears and many laughs. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

"What a day"

Breatfast at the Bluegrass Grill, long hours of lounging, windy car rides, state meet, new school 4x800 record and 4th overall, Chickfila nomming, music blasting, headphone singing, the end of a season of life.

Lazy Days

Morning yoga after a beautiful breakfast in bread, an hour of reading, green smoothie, exploring shops downtown with Ella, last practice of high school, backyard fellowship with friends and family

First days of summer

Early morning yoga, meditation, prayer, reading books that explain your deepest parts, making a salad as healthy as possible, giving thanks, reflecting, running all out, yummy soup, deep thoughts from mama, loud music, peaceful sunsets, good friends, sunroof standing and screaming.

Boots and Cats

Summer nights at the White House
