September 30

I wish this picture could capture just how many people came together to help celebrate Dr. and Mrs. Conn's 30th anniversary at Lee University today.

It was such a cool experience to get to be a part of the giant crowd and cheer and celebrate the newness and the goodness that comes with change at our school.

Happy Celebration Day!!!

Thankful for roomie time finding a new coffee place in honor of National Coffee Day :)

September 28

Thankful for friends who like to go on fun adventures and push me out of my comfort zone.

Tonight's adventure consisted of driving to Chilhowee to stargaze, which was (super creepy for me) but really cool to see how big the sky is outside of the city.

We are so small and God is so big and yet He loves us as his children...and we are tiny creatures living on a tiny rock in the middle of a ginormous universe that He also created out of nothingness.

This never ceases to amaze me.

Family Mexican night.

I'm in my happy place :)

September 26

I love the beginning of fall because going on evening walks through the neighborhoods with Jansen are definitely one of my favorite things here!

September 25

I am extremely thankful today for a relaxing and quiet morning with Rawli and Potch. It was so nice to get to spend some one on one time there :)

Also, I'm super thankful for spontaneous trips with Jansen to go sunset chasing at Chilhowee!

Because seriously. Dang.

September 24

If ever there is one place I would recommend watching the UT/ Florida game,

it would be in Rawli and Potch's living room with these people.

I love Trew time :)

September 23

Thankful today for a fun lunch date with a super fun RA :)

September 22

Thankful for apartment life because when it just gets TOO cold in our bedroom, we can move to the living room to finish homework and not lose a limb to two in the process :)

September 21

Thankful for Target runs with fun roomies and unexpected phone calls from a fabulous long-distance friend!!

September 18

Grantch is the perfect girl-granddad.

So thankful for a cool Sunday morning spent playing with these three down by the willow tree!!

These girls sure to love their Grantch!!

September 17

Going to Mayfield's with Grantch is an age old tradition.

It was so much fun getting to go before lunch and bring sweet Adeline with us!!

We have the coolest Grantch!!

Also, Camille, Aunt Kara, and I were treated to an American Girl movie afternoon at the museum thanks to Gram, which was super cute!! Getting to bring our dolls and see all the little girls so excited with their friends getting to watch Felicity. Ahh! It was so cute!!

September 16

Pure joy!

So so so much fun having Aunt Kara, Camille, and Adeline come by Lee today to "play" at my apartment and then go out for ice cream at Perkits :)

I love these little girls so stinkin' much!!

How can this not put a smile on your face!?!

September 15

Color coding my notecards because I'm a nerd and it makes me happy ;)

September 14

Thankful for Rawli and Potch's hospitality tonight :)

And forever thankful for Rawli's cooking, because it never fails to amaze me!

September 13

This is a really terrible iPhone picture from chapel today.

That is a fact.

But watching this painting be created out of nothingness during the sermon was SO cool!!!

"Tell em about the dream!"

September 12

Guess who tried something new today!?!

My first Zumba experience was definitely one for the books :)

September 11

UChurch tonight with Jimmy Needham was definitely an awesome experience!

He presented ideas in a different and unique way and made jokes that showed off awkwardness as well...basically a really cool dude...and he sang a song he wrote for his daughter which totally made me miss my awesome dad!
