The feat that is running...

First run in ages...although it felt horrible at the beginning, middle, and end, finishing the 3.1 made it worth it.

Took it slow and took some pictures along the way. I always run through a cemetery near our house and sometimes it's neat just to sit on a bench in the shade...watching loved ones and family members, thinking about all the lives lived and how it puts our days in perspective.

Summer Days

Sunkissed cheeks

Light blue skies

Bright pink watermelon

And sunshine galore

Summer, please never end.

A Birthday on the Beach

My 22nd birthday happened to fall during the week of finals. It was on a Tuesday and my friends and I finished our final Student Teaching presentations on Monday! So we decided to hop in the car at 6:00 am on Tuesday morning and spend a day on the beach. We got to the beach around 10:30 and stayed till about 4:30. It was an amazing day as we played in the ocean and got burnt to a crisp. The sunshine reflecting on the water made all of our faces a little red, but who else can say they got a tan during finals week?! 

Harper and Abbi are such sweet friends, and I could not have made it through education without them. It was such a fun day that I will always treasure the memories made. As we were leaving, a lady asked if we were cheerleaders down for a cheerleading competition. A few days out from college graduation, we'll take it. :) 

Spring Fever in February

A blue sky, sunny day in February makes you feel like you can conquer the world. With sun beams everywhere you turn and the smell of the fresh air inviting you to spend the entire day outside, it was the epitome of a 'perfect day.'

After being cooped up all winter, a Saturday full of sunshine was the perfect day to grab a good book, put on some summer shoes and enjoy the blue sky background and sun on your face.

Stayed until the sun set and the day was coming to a close...spring fever is in full swing a little early this year...can't wait for this next beautiful season to be here to stay.
