Only Once

We went to a music-type festival at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. As we were leaving a giant C17 passed over our heads, my shutter clicking the entire time. Dad said it would probably be the only time we girls see a jet that huge, that close. Glad I snapped 20 pictures to remember it by :)

The Road Ahead

Sometimes you sit in the bleachers and watch while other people do the hard things.

Sometimes you sit in the back seat while the someone else drives.

And when your turn comes to get up and step on the floor or grasp the wheel, it can be the scariest thing in the world.

As well as the most exciting.

All you can do is trust in God and do what you saw the person before you do, though in the way God made you to do it.

Welcome, Junior year of High School. We'll see how I drive this road ahead.

P.S- as this is my second-to-last day of Summer break, we'll see where posting on this blog goes. I originally created it to be a retreat of sorts during the months when school is over, so I have yet to find out where this haven fits in with everything else as the semester begins. So until then, adieu and thanks for being the best readers a gal could ask for! xo

Like Old Times

Sister Flair photos needed taking, and a What I Made film shot; so we made our way down to Caesar's Creek where the green grass rides up the dam like a great wave while brown water gushes forth from the embankment. We made faces in front of the camera while Mom shot from behind. We slapped the bugs as the sun blazed down on us. We ran like little girls across the biggest, smoothest, green hill we have ever seen. I was the fastest. "Just like old times", as Mom said.
