and this is us. can i just tell you that all of the pictures of us rafting i am making

oh crap faces. it was kind of crazy rafting without an acl but

i would def do it again. i freaking loved it so much. 

also our group was so good at rafting. 

our movement through the water was like clockwork.

it was truly incredible. i wouldn't change a thing.

this year my husband and simeon threw the two of us a party.

it was so fun and great to share a birthday with one of the most amazing ladies.

i love both of the harrars a whole heap.

which makes me super sad but i will have the memories.:)

i have the most amazing people in my life.

however some of my most favorite people don't live close.

i am so blessed though bc they love me enough to come visit.

this beautiful amazing girl came in january.

we had such fun adventures and really spent quality time together.

it was perfect.

this cute girl will be visiting in march and i couldn't be more excited!

this is her second visit but her first time to come solo.

oh man do i have some incredible things planned when she comes.

this is face[emma] and she is my favorite 13 year old.

the next visitor i have coming is my best friend taniya.

i truly love this girl. this is her first trip to the burgh.

she is a lot like my sister and i so her visit will be nothing less than amazing.

i cannot wait for her and her sweet baby jayne to visit.

she is crafty and a super mom all around amazing.
