ten things that I am so very thankful for…
[1] My new roommate Morgan Hale. She just moved in with Haley & me. She is such a blessing.
[2] When Winston, our cat, sleeps against my side while I’m editing.
[3] His plans. Not mine.
[4] My new Midtown family. Words can’t express. I’ve never been apart of a family that has such real urgency to carry out the gospel.
[5] $8 t-shirts at Charlotte Russe.
[6] Bold, blunt, and loving presentation of Scripture. Thank you Dustin Willis.
[7] The smiles that my freshman small group girls bring to my heart. Spending time with them and talking to them is one of the coolest things in the world.
[8] Katie Brewer.
[9] Uncontrollable excessive laughter.
[10] The many amazing, God fearing women that Jesus has placed in my life.
…Something else that has been rocking my world:
“But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.”
Galations 5:22-23
0 My bffl haley had her 21st birthday on May 25th.
0 I finished up my internship at Mt. Horeb June 1st. 
0 Greg & Sara Adamson were married on June 20th.
0 I went on vacation with my mom the first week of June to visit my Grandparents, Aunt, & Uncle in Kure Beach, NC. I love this place.
0 My other bffl (pronounced biffel) had her 22nd birthday on June 11.
0 My good friend Shannon (of 8 1/2 years might I add) asked me to do a big family portrait session for all of her mom’s extended family. This is one huge, AWESOME family. Quite an army. And they all live around one another so they get to see each other almost every week. (I had 4 days to prepare, only 30 minutes, and awful weather to work with… but believe it or not it turned out great!!)
0 I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the first half of VBS at Mt. Horeb last week!!
0 Back at the VERY beginning of May I got to tag along with a ton of parents and some of my favorite high school students (now graduates) and take portraits of all of them dressed up for prom!!
0 Last but not least, the Crocker girls. I was honored to take their senior portraits back in May and I can’t BELIEVE these two have graduated and are heading off to college in a few months!
