WOW....2017, you've been a good one!!
Filled with lots of laughs, lots of adventures, lots of Thomas Rhett, tons of hugs, a little bit of tears, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I can say that this year I've truly come to learn that the joy of the Lord is our strength. This kind of joy is not based on circumstances, solely on the love of Jesus. His love is mighty, reckless, all powerful, & sure is a pretty darn good reason to smile....even in the roughest of times!!
So here's some of my favorite memories of 2017 that I hope to never forget!!

Can't wait to see what 2018 has in store!! You know what they say......the best is yet to come.
I have this mental checklist in my head. It goes something like this- once exams are over I will be able to relax and spend more time in the word of God; once competition season is over I will be able to breath; once this busy week is over I won't be so stressed; once I can drive, making plans will be sooo much easier. This list goes on to bigger things too like, once I get accepted to college all the worry will disappear or once I get married and have kids life will just be a bubble of happiness. I get it in my head that once I reach a finish line my worries will just fade away.... some how just magically poof away & i'll be free. Honestly it doesn't even make sense why I think that because every time I reach a finish line, another one pops up.
