Unintentional Yet Beautiful

Today, my brother {who is now on the bike patrol} was going to be riding by our house with lots of other people. With this being our first time seeing him on the bikes {only his second day on the unit}, I naturally grabbed my camera and we all went outside. Unfortunately, I don't have permission to share the fantastic picture of my brother because he thinks he looks too goofy. :) I beg to differ.

Before and after they rode by, my mom and I took random pictures that ended up turning into a pretty cute photoshoot.

Side note : I just want to say THANK YOU to these parents of mine. They are such a blessing and the most Godly examples I could have. They just celebrated 27 years of marriage and they've made a wonderful picture of how a marriage should be. They aren't perfect and they've certainly had their ups & downs, but over all, they've showed the boys & I that marriage is forever and it's always worth it. I'm so thankful that their love for each other has continued to grow, but I'm even more thankful that their love for the Lord is even greater than their love for each other. Mom & Dad, thanks for being so wonderful. You're truly the best of the best of the best & I love you so much!

Photo Cred : My Momma!

What a stud muffin.

And on that last picture, two misquotes landed right on my sweet nephew's face. :)

So thankful for cameras to capture these precious moments.

Sebastian & I & Our Best Friends

It was a big day for my best friend! Like, graduating from college big!

It started out as a cold, rainy day. As Pomp and Circumstance started to play, my dad decided that there was no way we were going to see anything that was happening {which was very true} and so we went into the chapel to watch the live stream. So I was the silly looking girl with her telephoto lens taking pictures of a screen. But that's alright. :)

Katie, I'm so proud of you! I'm so thankful to be able to call you my best friend and I can't wait to see what God has in store for you. :)

It was also a HUGE day for Sebastian's best friend! Like, ENGAGEMENT DAY huge!

These are our Chris-is-proposing-to-Jewel-today!!!! faces.

Guys, we are SO happy for you! We know you've wanted this for a long time and couldn't be more thrilled for this next stage in your lives. We're so excited for you both!

It's been a fantastic day for our best friends!
