Weekend Life | Blowing Rock, North Carolina

  My lovely weekend was spent with family! We traveled to Blowing Rock, a quaint town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.... It was an incredible weekend, which involved Kilwins fudge. Need I say more? Obviously, Kilwins was our downfall. 

  We also may have seen Ray from Remember the Titans! Yes, I was the one who discovered this. And can I just say that celebrity spotting has been my specialty on our last few trips. Why yes, yes I do pride myself on my knowledge of movie stars and random facts in general. 

  Really though, Blowing Rock is a beautiful place, and the people are amazing. Here's a peek into our trip!

Our gps may not have been the most reliable!

The colors were stunning! We spent Saturday Hiking and discovering.  

One of the only photos I'm in, and of course, it's perfect...

Love these mountains and the fact that God blesses us with this incredible beauty!

Weekend Life

I can't wait to start sharing some personal posts called weekend life. They'll be filled with lots of fun info on what I've been up to along with sharing some of my hopes, dreams, and desires ahead!

I have practically lived half of my life on the water with family! For as long as I can remember we've been taking our boat everywhere, traveling for family trips at lakes up north, and making memories along the way.

This past weekend we packed up the boat and the fam and headed out on the water! We had a gorgeous day filled with skiing, swimming, and even a little bit of rain....Yes, the rain was not in our plans! 

  P.S. All of the photos where shot on my iphone. I have fallen in love with my VSCO app so, I opted to leave my gear at home and instead make use of my phone while we were on the water! Here's a peek into the fun day......

Shine 2012

Refreshing. That is the only way I can possibly describe this last week.

   In May I discovered Shine (which is sponsored by Pursuit 31!) through Elizabeth Ann King and quickly knew God was calling me to attend this workshop/retreat.

   I signed up thinking I would learn and grow in business and meet some sweet girls....It was so much more! God touched my heart and led me into the most amazing group of woman I have ever met. I spent 4 days growing in Christ and meeting girls who are driven in business and in faith. They have challenged me in so many ways. I have been so blessed by this retreat, and I know God will continue to use these girls in my life!

Worship on Wednesday night at Highlands Church

My Sweet Canadian friend, Raquel!

P.S. Did I mention I love gifts?! We received the sweetest Organic Bloom Frames and a hand stamped, custom necklace. You most definitely need to check them out!

Dominican Republic | July 2012

I just arrived back home after spending a week in an absolutely incredible, God-filled place. La Romana, Dominican Republic. God has touched my heart in incredible ways and I could not be more excited about what he has ahead for me. 

The people in this place worship Jesus like nothing have ever seen, love and serve others in incredible ways, and place Christ above all else. I walk away feeling inspired, touched, hopeful, loved, and so at peace with how God is molding and shaping my life. 

We arrived last Sunday, and spent then next 5 days working, going on prayer walks in the barrios, and most of all, loving on the sweet people there….. We also spent time on the ocean which was so incredible! Here is a peek in our trip.......
