Christmas!

Christmas is coming! There is Christmas music playing everywhere, Christmas lights up, Christmas decorations on doors, windows, Christmas trees and Ornaments, and so much more! I love it! Even if it is silly! I love love love Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas memory? =)

So truly thankful.

This year, I have so much to be thankful for. I have the best family and I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for! I have one person to thank and that would be God. Thanks so much Lord for everything you have given me. =)

1 Chronicles 16:8 says, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done."

Friends are the best medicine. =)

Aren't friends the most amazing thing ever? God has blessed me with the best friends and I am thankful to everyone of them! =) Love you!

Truly Honored

I am so truly honored to be apart of the worship team because of these girls. I truly love them all and I am so lucky to call all of them my sisters in Christ and my friends. We have already faced quite a bit together, and I cannot wait to see what else comes our way! I love you all!! (Thanks for the pictures Erika!) =)

We are all also very lucky to have Nate and Erika as our leaders. They are some of the most amazing people I could know. =)

Relaxation. ✈

This past week, my mom, sister and I got the amazing chance of going to California to visit my cousins, Hawley and Davin, that I have not seen since their wedding 13 years ago. I was THRILLED to say the least! Also, because they have one and a half year old twins, Dash and Trixie. I loved being able to catch up on stories, play with their kids and explore Hollywood. Here are some pictures of our adventures! :)

Baking!

At challenge we had the option of signing up and getting the chance to bake with the ladies of the Staff. =) I had the wonderful opportunity to bake with 5 other wonderful ladies too! =) We had such a great time! We baked two different apple pies, a banana cream pie, a coconut cream pie and a chocolate cream pie. Here are some pictures of our experience! =)

A game of Apples to Apples helped pass time. =)


Slicing the apples and getting the cinnamon sugar mix ready

The best chick flicks ever. We watched Sense and Sensibility while the pies baked.
