come in with the rain.

first bad storm of summer.

hince by the look of the bed,

mom was called in,

and we kinda had

a rough night C: ha. somtimes mom

doesn't realize other people

are sleeping beside of her.

or the fact that dad is

the only one she's

allowed to kick.

welcome to the fam.

meet the newest member of our family...

abigail.

micah 6:8

he has showed you, what is good.
and what does the Lord require of you?
to act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

sweet summertime.

surprising lunch C: whew. i'm happy.

this summer is turning out to
be much better than expected.

fiftynine.

happy birthday old mann C:

too far.

i think i'm becoming a

touch obsessed with

taking pictures.

another good night watching

movies with mama by the fire.

without this rational yet haywire element, she wouldn't be learning, or growing, or finding herself. that's all she is trying to do. is to find herself.
that's the beauty of this journey.

white lake.

mom and i have

just spent the past

two and a half hours

watching old white lake movies.

never really knew dad was a

good rockette C:

(finally convinced her to

go the whole time this year)

--kat, you have no idea

how much this makes

us miss you.

..

so i'll check the
weather wherever you are.
cause i wanna know if you
can see the stars tonight.

mother's day.

i gots me a good mama and i have come to realize that i am my mother's child. even if some days i don't want to admit it C: don't think i could be anymore blessed. seriously, you can't top it. ahah.

the one of many things that
has come from mom, that i have
never been able to forget:

'be quick to listen and slow to talk
to love everyone the way that Christ loves you,
to make a difference in the world and to realize
that even the little things you do, God can take
them and turn them into something greater than
you could ever imagine.'

job 8:7

why do emotions fluctuate so easily? and why do certain things make us happy and other things make us upset? the things from our past. the things that haven't seemed to work out. i don't know i just think that sometimes i focus on things that are uncertain and beyond my control most of the time. not things that i know to be true. example--graduation. honestly if i think about it, besides going to class and getting my work done the whole concept of it is something beyond my control. the fact that i have all MY ideas and goals planned out. and it hasn't happened yet but what if what i want doesn't happen. what if something comes along and changes my plans. i think i need to become more "adaptable". if that makes any sense. i need to have a plan but i think i need to be willing and able to work around it if those plans change.

its harder than it sounds.
