happy birthday.

Anna Banana.
Today is your birthday and you're in Cananda serving our sweet Savior.
I hope today is extra special. :)



I'm praying that God will use you in a mighty way!
Love you!

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

Happy Father's Day to my sweet daddy.
This time last year, almost 22 years ago, a little baby girl (me) was about to change your world forever. :)
You loved me even before you knew me...and that same love has grown over the years.
I love him so much!

I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful Daddy. And I have 2 wonderful Papaws also. Papaw Moose is in Heaven, and Papaw Lewis lives next door to me. :) Mama & I were talking about Papaw Moose this morning and about how we missed him so much...but we wouldn't bring him back if we could for anything. He is perfect and with our sweet Savior.
*I try to never take my parents, family, blessings for granted because I know how precious they are. They are even more precious because I know not everyone has loving, Christian parents. It breaks my heart when I think about that...

but I know there is hope, because...

I have a sweet Heavenly Father as well. His mercy is unending, and his love never fails. When I am unfaithful, He is faithful. He loves all, and He created all.

So, Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's, papaw's, uncle's, cousins etc.!


Papaw Lewis & Daddy :)


Papaw always has a massive garden, and I'm planning on helping him some after school ends on June 29 (my birthday :) Hooray! He seems to believe that I'd be able to learn his mastery gardening skills. And I'm never opposed to spending extra time with my precious papaw.


4 generations. We are so blessed!!


I love them so very much!

Enjoy time with your family this week!

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

precious day.

Well it's official, one of my very best friends, Ashley, is officially Mrs. Stubblefield.
She was radiant today. Absolutely beautiful.
We had sooo much fun. Getting ready, taking pictures, laughing, etc. It was such a great day.
We have seriously laughed all weekend long. And I looove to laugh.
I love these girls so much.

Here's the star of the show. Ash, herself.


These are the 4 girls I talked about in my last posts.
We seriously don't remember life without each other. We've been the best of friends since before kindergarten. We've been through a looot together. From the valleys to the mountain tops, these are 3 people I know will always be in my life. I am so thankful for them. :)




We took a ton of pictures before time for the wedding. We laughed the whole time.




Congrats Chad & Ashley. I wish you all the happiness in the world.


Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

sweet, HOTT, summertime.

Hello Mississippi sunshine & HUMIDITY!
I realize now how much I didn't miss you last summer while I was in Tahoe!

Thank the Good Lord for air conditioning!! Amen?!

I love the month of June though. Why you ask?
Because it's my birthday month. However, I'm the only one who thinks it's a good idea to celebrate all month. (haha)
It's not until the 29th, but I'm excited.
annnd that means ANOTHER year older.. bum bum bum!

But my new theory on growing up is.
It's another year for laughter, love, and fun.
Who cares about growing up, I've loved every second thus far.
I'll be the big 22.

Ask me if I still like my theory when I turn 25. (haha) :)

I'm taking a summer class @ MS State this summer. So I'm pretty much bored out of my mind a lot of the time. This week I did get to dog-sit, and that was fun, exciting, and she kept me company.
I have, however, caught up on some painting stuff. I've been painting initial canvases for people. (all my friends getting married, in particular)

Speaking of getting married...

2 of my very best friends are getting married this summer. One next weekend and the other in July. There's a group of 4 of us. One is already married, and then there are these 2 this summer. I am so excited for them!! We've been best friends since kindergarten. It's the most precious friendship in the world.

(i'll be posting more about them with pictures to come :)

so there you have it. my little life in a nut shell.

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.
