Summer Lovin'

In an attempt to catch up on all of the wonderful blog posts that I have missed while out of the country, I found these gems. They're everything I love about summer!


WATERMELON!







Red, White, and Blue, one of my favorite combinations.





And of course, bicycles and fresh flowers.

Lovely :)

Back from the Philippines!

Good morning! It is such a lovely Sunday morning here at home, and I should know since I have literally watched the sun come up (jet lag is a beast!). I have been awake since 3:30 this morning and have so much energy I could run laps! I suppose I'll crash around 10 am...maybe. Anyways, my trip to the Philippines was an absolutely wonderful experience and I can't wait to share more stories and photos. We arrived home Friday at 2 am, just in time to get some sleep, do a little laundry, and then pack up again to head to the beach with my family! Oh how I love summer :) Stay tuned for more pics!

P.S. Check out my new pearls in the photo above. Andy bought them for me for around 1000 pesos! Aren't they lovely? :)

In about seven hours, I will be leaving with my choir, getting on a plane, and traveling to the Philippines for TWO weeks! We will be singing at a few local churches around Manila as well as working in an orphanage there. I just know I'm going to fall in love with those kids and never want to leave! We are also spending three days in Boracay. I've been told that this island is even better than Hawaii (not that I've ever been to either).

I'm super duper excited and I can't wait to share all of my adventures, stories, and pictures!
