Current Events >> JUNE

When I made plans for my 2017 June, 8 months ago, it was to be the month I was wed. Eight months, lots of tears, a book full of lessons learned, and boat loads of grace later, I can look back and say that I wouldn't have changed the way June 2017 turned out one bit. If you'd like to hear the story behind the last 8 months of my life, feel free to leave a comment, I'd be happy to share. Here's to a month of celebrating the beauty of shattered plans.

And so...

the adventure begins. 

I can't believe my baby brother is a 2017 high school graduate! 

This day came so fast! I'm so proud of the man he's becoming! I remember when he was just a dirty faced boy pushing his dump truck around. He wasn't just any boy though, he was our boy. My parents only boy.  The only brother to the three of us girls. He introduced our family to what boyhood was really like. We have so many childhood adventures together that I treasure. He's not the only boy in our growing family anymore + while he may not want to admit it, he's still our boy, just a little grown up. I often wish I could go back to those days being kids, but growing up and moving on to adulthood with Josiah trailing right behind me has been kinda fun! I'm glad I have this boy not only as a brother, but also as a best friend. 

Happy Graduation, Si! 

p.s. He's kind of a looker isn't he?!

current events >> MAY

May is one of my favorite months for several reasons. It's when the peonies bloom, summer starts, adventures get into full swing it seems, + it's my birth month! The month went by so fast + I'm kinda shocked it already over! Hello June!
