Memories

This week I've been reflecting on the year...some firsts, some funny moments, and some favorite pictures I took. Today I want to look at some of the memories that stick out the most from this past year.

Snowmageddon - not only did I get a day off work, but the snice (snow mixed with ice) was impossible to shovel. Great day for staying in jammies, watching movies, reading books, and staying close to the fireplace!
Cupcake class!! Went with my friend Angi Spangler and made a dozen or so pretty amazing cupcakes!

Low country boil on the beach at sunset. YUMMY!!

All my kiddos...they brighten my life so much. Proud to be their aunt!

New friendships formed while helping Olivia plan her wedding. Loved being her bridesmaid!

Miss Rachel Ashley's baccalaureate service. Proud of her!

Speaking at the Fairmount book club meeting...

All the game nights with my fellow buddies. (Even when I lost...I had fun!)

My visits to Sonic. Oh Sonic. How I miss thee...

Brown County vacation with Rachel...not only writing...but also SHOPPING!!

My farewell party from IWU. (I really would like more of that punch right now. And a handful of the cupcakes!)

Fireworks on the 4th of July - with Jamie! (And many other fun outings with Jamie!)

Olivia's wedding day - hot day, cool dress!

Being baptized by Brian Holland...

Sister day! Lori came home to put together my yard sale and we all got to be together for part of the day.

Saying goodbye to my sweet baby Kaegan...

Anne of Green Gables party with Julie Crandall. (SO FUN!)

Spending a day at Lake Webster...gorgeous.

A day at the Cherished Moments Craft Hideaway with friends!

Extraordinary Women Conference with Marie and Faith!

Working with this beautiful lady EVERY DAY.

Visiting Lori, Jeff, and Cassie in Kansas...what a great relaxation time!
