Friends are a Blessing

     It was early August. Three of my friends were heading off to college in the next couple of weeks and one of them for the very first time. "We should do a photo shoot," I thought, and suggested it. On August 11th, it actually happened. I was so excited! It was a perfect day weather wise for taking pictures. After church I headed home and quickly got ready (thank goodness I had an outfit all picked out!). Just a note that photo credit goes to my friend Brenna (far left).



                                        We had so much fun. We shared so many laughs.                                         

 

It was one of the those memory making kind of days that you wish you could do over again.

 

 

I'm honestly thankful for cameras. They capture so many great things. 

Candid shots in mid-laughter.

 

 

Us girls being our silly and crazy but crazy selves.

I must say I love this one. Katie and Tiffany are being funny for the camera and I'm just modeling as  I have no clue

what's going on.

 

 

I love these smiles.

 

 

I love their hearts for the Lord.

 

 

I also love how we can be awesomely (probably not a word)

crazy and funny one minute

 

 

and cute and serious the next.

 

 

I love our friendship.

 

 

I love how we've only known Tiff for a little over a two and

a half years, and yet she's like a sister to us.

 

 

I love being goofy and weird together.

 

 

I love how they "get" me and are there to encourage me, make me laugh or

pray for me.

 

 

I love that I've been friends with this girl since junior high.

 

 

I love how even though we're separated by distance,

our closeness as friends doesn't change.

 

 

I just love these friends of mine. I am so incredibly grateful to God for putting them

into my life.

 

Friends are such a blessing.

 

Aren't they?

 

In Christ,

Perhaps Someday

  I have never written a bucket list. I never really felt the need to. My dreams and things I wanted to do and accomplish were stored away in my head, perfectly content to stay there. However, I like to make lists, so I thought "why not?".  The things listed here are not all of them mind you. No way. That would take a while to write, and you, a while to read.  So... here are some of them.
                     

                            Speak a foreign language fluently
   
                           Travel around Great Britain

                           Write a novel

                           Be in a musical

                          Photograph a senior session

                         Visit the state where I was born (Texas)

                         Learn to sew

                        
   True, some of them are just little things, and I may not be able to accomplish them....

   but, perhaps someday. Maybe.


                 Do you have a bucket list all written out? What sort of things are on it?              

                            Have a great week!
