Happy 30th anniversary, mom and dad! Your faithful, joyful, loving relationship is something that has comforted me my entire life. I am so unbelievably blessed to have you two as parents. I can only pray that my future marriage resembles yours.
Truly, I am blessed.
I love you so much!

i have lived in atlanta my whole life and just now visited the botanical gardens for the first time. the weather was perfect and the gardens were beautiful. my sister julie, her boyfriends' mom [mrs.bachtler], and lamar joined me and i couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon. aren't the flowers pretty? something mrs.bachtler said that has really stayed on my mind: 
"how can anyone not believe in God when there is something so beautiful as this?"
i pray that more people notice the everyday beauty around them and realize it is all from Him. How much He must love us to create such beautiful things. 
He loves us. Oh, how He loves us.

*Mrs. Bachlter is also the mother of the lovely blogger, Beth! Check out her blog Embracing Twentysomething.

scenes from daytona








oh, my vacation to florida was so relaxing and perfect. all i did was lay out, take walks on the beach with my mom, and eat food. 
tough life right? ;)
while we were in florida, we celebrated my sister's 25th birthday at our favorite restaurant aunt catfish's. if you ever make it down to daytona, you have to go there and try their boatsinker pie. oh, heaven.
although i was having a great time, i was ready to get home, prepare for my last month of college, and see what you guys have been up to. i have missed y'all!

where have you gone for vacation lately? i would love to hear!

this is for the dad that was always there. always, always there.
worked long hours then came home and played with his three little daughters until the moon shined brightly.
[and by play, i mean hiked, climbed trees, built forts, street hockey, soccer, etc.]
 this is for the dad that is always wearing a smile.
it is kind of impossible to be in a bad mood around someone who is smiling.
i thank you for that.
this is for the dad that never stops to take a break. [you really should sometime]
now that your 3 little daughters are all grown up, you have two more little ones at home.
and you are a better dad now than ever. 
this is rare. you are rare.

happy birthday, daddy-o! I love you so much.

Oh, Thanksgiving...

...how I love thee.

Crossing the bridge to Hilton Head, SC.
Just one of the many alligator spottings! 
 Family bike rides...
 ...walking with Daisy on the beach...
 date night with Lamar <3

For the second year in a row, I spent Thanksgiving in Hilton Head, SC with my family. It was absolutely perfect! We took walks to Harbour Town, rode bikes, went to the beach, and played games at the house. I don't get to spend a lot of time with my family, so when I get the chance to I savor the moments. We took our Christmas card picture on Thanksgiving (a tradition) and it turned out lovely. I will post that soon! Unfortunately, my parents have the camera that I took lots of pictures on so I will post them next week. 
What did you do for Thanksgiving? I would love to hear!

Blessings.
