January

New Year's-Double Springs, Alabama. It was much needed break from home but didn't last very long due to me being homesick...yes I'm 22 and still get homesick. I stayed right at a month. Seen my first real bout of snow. I bet people could tell that I was a GA girl cause I was stopping in the middle of the road to take pictures :) It was a move I made in hopes of mending a broken heart but honestly how does moving in with his family suppose to make my heart mend...IT DIDN'T! So more life experience but was glad to be back home. I did do some more traveling though..Went to SC for a weekend visit and made great friends (:

February

So in Feb. just like everywhere else in the USA... GA got snow. We played for HOURS just being kids no matter our age (:. Spent another weekend in SC with a wonderful friend and his family. Seen Dear John... WONDER!!! Love Nicholas Sparks as an author. His books and movies are so touching.

March

March was a lot about family time. Trey and I spent a lot of time with our niece and nephews. As you can tell from the picture it doesn't matter if Trey was hurt or not Gigi was her Uncle Trey's shadow and he really didn't mind. I've realized just in the last couple of months just how much my little brother is one of my best friend. I never thought I would have been saying that especially when I was a teenager, but now it seems we're inseperatable. Another visit to SC, this time we went to the aquarium in Charleston as well as done the Ft. Sumter tour.

April

April I spent in PC with my bestie and her two kids. I can't believe how time flies... Gabe turned 2 and Bailey turned 1. It was great to spend time with her and the family though. I enjoyed it so much that I went back later in the year... (more bout that later). Kids had a great party though minus the wind that was HORRIBLE... it was like we were going to fly away, but kids really enjoyed the park and that's all that mattered

May

May was a very busy month... One of my best friend's sister's graduated. That was a WILD night. Luckily it didn't rain on her parade... it waited til afterward. Plus my cousin Ashley got married. Can't believe we're old enough for all that... seems like yesterday we were in the awkward preteen stage now we're doing college and starting our own family. Can somebody find a clock so I can turn back the time and cherish the little moments now that I see how important they are.

June

June of course as always for me was Bible Camp at my church. We didn't have as many girls but honestly we had a blast with the few we did have. It's amazing to see how this church has grown. I've been at this church since I was 4 years old. It started out a little white chapel in the woods with only 5 pews and now it's grown to house about 300. The people are basically the same except now the families have joined. I just love the feeling of the people here... they're all so homey

July

Right after Bible Camp ended I left to go to Panama City to see bestie and the babies... well baby... I spent right at a month down there. Spent 4th of July with Gabe(we were both sick). We actually watched the fireworks right out the backyard. Whitney worked, Aunt Judy was still in Tx with Bailey(who was in the hospital) and the boys (Uncle De, Jason,&Quang)were all at church. We got a little bad weather which made the power go out so me and Gabe camped out in the living room. It didn't bother me so much though cause it's the little things that matter the most right?! Exactly!!!





After getting back home to GA we decided to do family pictures. I don't think we've had family pictures in quite some time so I was quite excited about them. Not that you can really tell from this particular picture but we all meshed really well together. Not many people would have guessed we all get along WONDERFULLY even though me&Grace are the same age, Trey is 5 years younger than us and Nathan is 9 years older... yet those 3 people right there are my heart, soul, and motivation

August

August is here now and honestly(yes I know I've said this A LOT but) my how time has flown... like really this year is almost over... this picture was taken when me, Cody, and Dylan decided we wanted to camp out. Unfortunately it decided to storm that night but we didn't let that change our plans instead we "camped out" inside... we made our tent between the two beds, sat up all night singing, talking and laughing, and really just enjoyed the chance to enjoy "family time"(we're not family, but over the last couple of weeks we've all become very close)
