sunflowers & sororities

i have officially lost my mind.

it's 12:51 

A.M.

which means it's approximately 3 hours past my bedtime

& about 5 hours until my alarm goes off!

emi's flight just departed from Lima!!!

we'll pick her up from the airport in a few hours & i'm beside myself excited.

sadly, i'm out of my creamer 

& since i don't do black coffee

tomorrow morning may be a tad painful.

but anyway.

this photoshoot is maybe in my top 3 faves of all times.

i love sunflowers

i love big laughs

i love cowboy boots

& i really love these three girls.

for the last two years

we've worked with a group of 15 or so middle school girls

each wednesday night.

spending time with savannah, bailey & abby

& watching them pour into those girls

is a priceless memory that i treasure.

we wanted to do a little photoshoot before bailey headed off to ole miss

for summer school

sniff sniff

& begin a few for abby's senior photos.

the last several years that my family roadtripped to the sunflower farm

savannah wasn't with us

so i really wanted some of her.

savannah & i spent some time today chatting about all her upcoming excitement with college

& sororities.

she'll head to athens in early august for rush

& is so excited!!

the nursing school i attended didn't have sororities

so this is all new for me.

so many fun things going on right now.

sometimes i feel i can barely keep up 

with all that my girls have going on.

one day i know it will all come to a screeching halt

but for now

i sure do love it!

savannah, 

bailey

& abby

you three girls are such amazing young women.

& i am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for this

next chapter in your lives.

you have an inner light that shines brightly

that i know is from Him.

i pray you know the depth of His love for you

& sense that He truly goes before you

in all you do.

i love you dearly
