Home.

Home. 

One word...One place...

So many meanings...

A place where memories are made, families thrive, joy outlasts, and tears are shed...

A place where you can be yourself, where you learn little lessons, and tackle big moments...

A place where your little self becomes your grown-up self, but a place where you never forget how to be your little-girl self...

A place where pictures are taken, and moments are framed, where you learn how to forgive, and truly how to love...

A place where you share a cup of tea, enjoy meals around the table, and sit in rocking chairs for hours at a time...

A place where big decisions were made, and life paths were decided, a place where you learned to put your faith in the One who knows most of all...
And a place that becomes a reminder that this really isn't our home at all...

A place that has become more than a place...but a piece of who you are and who you want to be...

I am forever thankful for my "home." 

And the blessing of one word, one place, that is now becoming more than a home, but a piece of who I will always be...

Breakfast for Dinner

And sometimes your dad makes French Toast, turkey sausage, eggs, and grits...

While your mom fills the house with piano music...

And you eat an amazing breakfast...for dinner.

Honk If You Love Seniors

Sending this one off to her senior year of high school...it's truly hard to believe. 

We made a little trip to Kroger the night before to get things for breakfasts and lunches -- we had the windows down and were listening to our favorite summer playlist.

It's moments like this that I wish I could frame and remember forever.


I asked her if she had her backpack packed and she laughed and said, "With WHAT?!"
Always keeping us laughing.

Her and her best friend Hannah dressed up in their neon and welcomed in the elementary and middle school students. A tradition at CAL...seems like a lifetime ago that I was in their shoes. Love both of them and am excited for the year ahead.

Late Nights

Moments to Frame

Memories to make

Movies to watch

And little sisters to love

These are what summer nights are made of...

Frame This Moment

A road trip to Atlanta and a day spent with Dad.

Dad had a layover in Atlanta the day before Thanksgiving break, and I hopped in my car after class and took a spontaneous trip to Peach Tree City. We ate some good Mexican food, did some sight-seeing, and topped the night off with some TCBY. It was a fun day and a moment to frame.
