LA and beyond

Hello all! Haven’t written here in quite some time! I am sure you all are used to this by now and honestly, I am not sure it will improve much in the next couple of months. My life has been busy. Exhaustingly busy. But life is good, I am happy, and God continues to teach me lessons daily.

Since I have last posted, I have been to a Teenpact Alumni event called Back 2 DC. I have been to Texas and driven to LA, and back to Texas again. And then home. I have been busy looking up colleges and having fall photo shoots. And now I am in the airport right now on my way to TN and KY to visit a college.

I hope you enjoy some photos from LA. The trip was wonderful, despite a few bumps (like the hotel packing up all our stuff into plastic bags.) After the trip, I have decided the beach is my favorite place in America. It was like magic for the kids. While we were on the beach we had a great time, there was no fighting, it was so peaceful and enjoyable. And it was a blast to take pictures! You really couldn’t get a bad angle, everything was so beautiful. Anyways, enjoy!

 First day in LA, first look at the beach.

 Super excited to be here!

 Enjoying the COLD water.

 

 The gorgeous beach even though it was not a sunny day.

 Throwing rocks in the water.

 I just love the movement in this one.

 One of my favorite pictures from the trip, I love the sister/brother interaction... and the background.

 The playground by our hotel.

 Gorgeous girl.

 Laughing.

 Sweet smile.

 Posing.

 Beautiful eyes.

 Footprints in the sand.

 I love water on my feet.

 Building sand castles.

 Just enjoying the water.

 Posing in the water.

 Loving water and waves.

 Building a "sand tub". (All 4 of us were actually able to 

 More fun in water. If you can tell, we REALLY enjoyed the beach.

 More sand castle building.

 Me on the beach.

Hope you enjoyed so many photos!

I heart faces-A touch of sun

It has been absolutely forever since I did an I heart faces, but it's never to late to join back in the fun. This week's theme is a touch of sun, which I think so wonderfully fits this photo I took this past weekend at back 2 DC. I love the emotion in the picture, and how it has a journalistic type feel.

Inside out girl

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since I posted, I have been gone at a Teenpact camp, and just busy in general with the beginning of this school year. I am very excited to announce that I have guest posted over on InsideOut girl! This is a fantastic new blog that I am very excited to have a chance to be a part of. The blog is all about being godly young woman, with many different girls writing posts. I just looked through a few of the sections, and found them not only helpful but encouraging! Please take a few moment to stop over there and check them out. (as well as the post I wrote!)

As I mentioned at the beginning, I was a Teenpact the last week. I was staying in DC with about 50 other wonderful Teenpact students for an event called Back to DC. It was an amazing week (as Teenpact weeks always are!) I came away with lots of new knowledge about campaigning (my team won the mock presidential elections we put on!) as well as feeling spiritually refreshed.


I quickly wanted to share what is my two favorite songs right now. I absolutely LOVE the words to both of them.

(You need to go to the bottom of the page and turn of the music first :)

And I have been learning the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and really enjoying this video:

I hope to be back to post more about Teenpact and life soon!
