Happy 12th Birthday to my Middle. You've made 12 years feel like 2. I can't believe how fast it's gone. And though you're small for your age, you are a force to be reckoned with. Here are a few of your favorite things at 12 years old: Basketball. Any time, any place. Doesn't matter who with or if you just got done playing. Basketball is ALWAYS a good idea to you.

Life Lately
This month is moving way too fast. Usually January is a slow month for us, where we can re-coup from the holidays. But with basketball and band concerts, it's been everything but.

I have a couple of goals for the year too, which include: Update My Blog Once A Week Close the Activity Rings on My Apple Watch Daily Take One Photo A Day Be Intentional ... Read More
Christmas 2016
I have to be honest: Christmas this year was a bit of a blur. But in a good way. After months of planning and shopping, it all went by so fast! A little part (okay, a big part) of me is excited to relax now, but regardless, we had an incredible time celebrating with family and friends. Our annual Friends Christmas Photo at the candlelight service at church. It's one of my favorite services of the year, to see all the candles lit and everyone in their fancy clothes and the guys without flat ... Read More
