7 Quick Takes Friday: Randoms of the College Days.

I thought I would just do pictures this Friday. I don't have much to say, but I find myself nostalgic for some of the best times of my life, so why not share some photos!

Prayers?

Big... BIG things might happen in the next two weeks. Would it be okay to ask for some prayers for this little family in middle America?

Cherishing the Moments.

It's so easy to look at your life as if you have all of the time in the world. Recently, there have been a few illnesses and deaths linked to our family and we find ourselves in a constant state of prayer-fulness and mourning. Not that praying a lot is a bad thing, (it's a wonderful way to spend time together) but it definitely puts things into perspective.

This week, everything is a gift. Not that I have anything to complain about, life is pretty simple and quite lovely, but this week it's even more amazing! And I hope to continue this attitude of gratitude. Always.
