Celebrate good times!!

What do you do to celebrate college graduation?

Well, if you're anything like me you're broke so your options are pretty limited... Thankfully I have a pretty awesome roommate who's dad has a camper at Holden beach which he so graciously let us crash for a few days! 

It was so nice to get away for a few days and relax, soak up the sun, and catch up with my BFF. 



Since I've been living at home and she has been student teaching I haven't seen Leah since my birthday in February!! I've missed her so, so much.

We didn't have a whole lot of time but we did as much as we could while we were there! We laid on the beach during the day on Wednesday for lunch we ate way too much food at Provisions at Holden beach! That night we drive to Southport and ate some more food at Yacht Basin Eatery. It was cloudy and had been raining but we ended up having a beautiful evening walking around and exploring the town. 
thankful for timers on camera phones!

beautiful Southport

Thursday, we woke up bright and early to head to subset beach for coffee and bagels. Oh. My. Gosh. That bagel was the best thing ever! It was so fluffy and fresh. I prob could have eaten them all day! After that we went shopping at one of the surf shops and then headed to the beach. We ate lunch at a grill on the beach. Later that afternoon Leah's dad came and took us for a ride on his boat. I didn't tell them but I was a little scared. Especially when they mentioned riding out on the ocean. Thank goodness we didn't. Whew. It was a really fun afternoon talking laughing and enjoying the sun. For supper we ate with Leah's dad and some family friends and headed home!

love when God paints the sky this color




I was so sad to go because I hate leaving the beach. Even though I was burnt to a crisp. But, I was really sad to leave Leah. I miss living with all of my friends and having them close whenever I need them. I miss all the fun we had but I know where we all are at in our lives are exactly where we are supposed to be. I'm so thankful for Leah, Christi, and Carrie and for their friendship and Godly influence in my life. Thank y'all for being amazing friends and for help making these past four years unforgettable.

Stay On The Thankful Side

One of the ways that the enemy tries to pull me away from Jesus is through anxiety and negativity. I have struggled with anxiety for the greater portion of my life but it really reared its nasty, ugly head when I was pregnant with my son. I was so anxious and depressed that I developed habits that caused me to not recognize myself. I struggled with anxious, intrusive thoughts that continued after he was born. I tried so diligently to recover the woman I was before. I remember talking with precious jewel of a woman who, looking back, has not been constant in my life but God has always placed her with me at such important and formative moments. She spoke with me on a hot summer day about a year after Eli was born about how precious pregnancy and motherhood truly was. I am not good at quoting so forgive me but she spoke words that went something like "this time is such a gift from God and I truly became closer to Him because I was so amazed at what He was doing". I remember bein

General Life Update 2018

So, my life has always been somewhat crazy but the past year to year and a half has been a real whirlwind. In August, before we got married I started attending Graduate School to become a School Psychologist. I was certain that this was the path that I needed to walk down. I loved what I was doing in the beginning, it was fun and exciting and I was getting to really help children. Late in the fall I started to feel overwhelmed. I started the semester working full time as a teacher, driving an hour and a half to school and back three times a week, and trying to be a newlywed. I cut back my hours at work so that I was working only part time thinking it would solve my problems but it didn't. I got sick that Christmas, like I normally do in the winter but somehow it seemed different than normal. The spring semester started off well, I attended a conference in Columbia for free, which was exciting. However, things quickly went downhill I became even more stressed juggling school, wo

I just have to get this out of my head... I just heard the news of the Charleston shooting. I'm deeply saddened by this... the fact that someone would walk into a place of worship and feel the need to take the lives of the people there. What that young man did was horrifying and I could never begin to imagine the pain and suffering those people are going through. Not only should we be praying for those who have lost loved ones or were injured... We also need to pray for the shooter for he fell victim to Satan himself just like many of us do every day. While his sin was more permanent and more devastating, that does not mean that he can't find repentance and mercy in The Lord. I know it is very hard to pray for and love someone who has caused so much pain but as Christians it is our duty. I am so glad that people are willing to offer up prayer in support of those suffering. However, while those people are offering prayer and support for the victims, they are tearing down
