    Insta{good}Friday!

    Happy Good Friday! I hope you spend a little time today reflecting on the sacrifice that Jesus made so we could live in freedom. This week was actually pretty good as a whole. I’ve been trying to be more present in the now and not get so overwhelmed by what is to come. Baby steps! Here is my week via iPhone pics, Hope you enjoy them! Friday night we headed out to Greenville, IL to visit some good friends of ours. I got to ride back with Payt. She was excited. She got to play with her friend Sullivan. She wasn’t sure what to do with him at first. ha. Sleeping in…

    Whirlwind of a Week! {InstaFriday #5}

    So this week was quite a whirlwind… and to be honest it doesn’t look like I took many pictures with my phone… We spent Sunday traveling and in the er… the rest of the week I feel like I’ve just been running non-stop. It always feels that way when I get thrown into the work week coming back from a trip with no “day off” to recover. I probably should have just taken Monday off, but oh well… It’s Friday, Friday (cue the annoying Rebecca Black song…) I’m looking forward to reclaiming my house and hopefully parts of my sanity this weekend. I’m linking up over at Life Rearranged. Since…

    Happy Birthday to Me! {insta-friday #4}

    Happy Quarter Century Birthday to me! It has been a fun “birthday week” and the festivities continue today! Weird to think I’m 25… doesn’t that mean I get a discount on insurance? Oh how priorities change… Check out my week in instagram pics! Linking up to InstaFriday at Life Rearraged. Cute Baby Courtney… Thanks for sending me this pic, Mom! Today’s birthday picture… Twenty Five! In between stormy days we were able to take advantage of working out on the deck at our rental, what a beautiful office view! We visited In-N-Out. Gotta have it animal style. On this hour long car ride we discovered that Payton is prone to…

    I’m linking up to InstaFriday at Life Rearranged. I love this idea because I have a slight obsession with instagram and love being able to share little snapshots of my life with you!

    On the Road again

    On the road again! We are somewhere between Joplin and Tulsa. We were going to leave in the morning but decided driving through the night, while exhausting, would be less stressful with a toddler in tow. We should be getting into Texas in the wee morning hours. Oh, texas. I love Texas. In other random news: I’ve registered for Bloggy Boot Camp STL. Im so excited!! I’m looking for some direction on where I want to take this blog and hope this will help me figure it out. Anyone else going to Bloggy Boot Camp?!   ps- if you could take a minute to click the banner below and vote…

    I’m Alive!

    Hello blog0sphere! It has been for-ev-er. Ok, so its been like a month and a half, but in the blog world that is the equivalent of forever, isn’t it? One of the reasons I took a break from writing is because I didn’t feel like I had a good “niche.” I didn’t know what I really wanted out of this blog. Yes, it is like an online journal for all the world to see… and I can write whatever I want… but I have been reading so many blogs lately and seeing how they all seem to have a niche… something specific about the blog that makes people want to…
