The art of demolition

Oh by the way, that top picture is his "if you don't quit taking photos I'm going to lose it" face. This past weekend, Hunter and I went to a demolition derby in Miami, Oklahoma! It was my first one ever! I absolutely loved it. It definitely brought out my Okie. I felt like a hick. And it was awesome. 

For some reason the entire time I was there I kept thinking that this event was a foreshadowing of this year. In a positive way. I am determined to make this year the best ever. 

Also, school has begun and so have the fundraisers! Broken Arrow Fine Arts is singing in a stand alone concert at Carnegie Hall on Easter. I'll be going with Choir and Theatre, so believe me I will be needing funds. Please let me know if you would like to buy anything from our fundraisers! We are currently selling cookie dough and bags. Email me (go to the contact page!) or message me on Facebook for more information! Thank you all!

Cheesehead

Woah. This summer has been a complete whirlwind of traveling and suitcases. I just got back from my very last summer trip yesterday! Our church does a "Gonna-be Senior Trip", where they take the upcoming seniors to a super cool location and talk about the leadership expected of us for the year in our Youth Group and church. This year we went to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, with a glimpse at St. Louis on the way! I was so surprised at the beauty that Wisconsin hides! And Lynnlee got to join me as well!

 

So I was a cheesehead for a week. And I loved it a whole lot. God makes amazing things. And his presence was so strong throughout the entire trip. Special thanks to Mike and Karen Baskett for all that they do for our youth group and for the inspiration they are for me. 

Aunts and Nieces

I know that I've been a stranger this summer. but I do have my reasons! I've been in Pennsylvania with my sister helping take care of my brand spankin' new niece. I'm an Aunt. What a fulfilling title. It's crazy how everything worked out. Cassidy was born 3 days after we arrived in PA, so we got to spend lots and lots of time with her! I may be a little bit biased, but I have a pretty darn cute niece.

And I am the proud photographer of this super sweet client!! I couldn't be happier to have Cassidy as a part of our family. I'm already so in love with her, and I miss her so much!
