Reflections on 40+

Oh, my heart...

It was an early goodbye for these two before Emma and I headed south for college move-in weekend.

My man is such a good Dad to his girls.

She's all packed up and ready to go...

So very grateful for the time we've had together this summer!!

But these piles are making me start to miss her already though (shhh...don't tell...)

Looking forward expectantly to all the Lord has in store for our sophomore!!

Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,

for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

Hello giant mirror on the wall of our favorite restaurant!

Thanks to these two for indulging me in an #Instagramhusband type moment :)

We have had some fabulous DC adventures the past few months!

I'm so glad we took advantage of one more day for fun together.

Lunch with our favorite guy, checking out the Smithsonian Castle,

exploring the Hirshorn Museum, and capping off our day at the Natural History Museum...

all photo-worthy for sure...but this...

This right here sums up Summer 2016 and the many extra miles we walked around the Mall.

Earning confetti on my pedometer app for ALL those steps makes my day!!!

Trips to the salon are way fun when we're together!!

Hooray for Stacy who is a master at managing our manes!!

~Getting this highly organized girl ready to head back to college~

I LOVE that she shares an affinity for my adoration of laundry supplies!!

Thanking God for vivid reminders- seen and unseen- that He loves deeply and is DELIGHTED with us!!

Happy to receive this book filled with encouragement and HOPE written by our friend and Tulsa pastor.

And celebrating the gift of an early morning phone call from Bess and her precious time praying for me.

The LORD your God is with you,

the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great DELIGHT in you;

in His love He will no longer rebuke you,

but will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17
