Italy {Bellagio and Off To Florence}

Italy {Bellagio and Off To Florence}

I have loved looking through my Italy Instagram photos for these posts. I didn’t pick up my camera very often and I have to admit that using mainly my phone made me enjoy the moments more. I want to make a book with all of the Italy Instagram photos and I will...

Random Ramblings {Life Right Now}

I can’t believe it is almost August! We have had a full (but wonderful) summer. A few days after Kelly and I returned from Italy we felt spoiled as we spent a night out watching The Avett Brothers at Red Rocks.  We are so spoiled by this venue that we...

Italy {Days Three and Four}

I mentioned in my last post that I didn’t sleep the whole night before I was to teach my first class in Bellagio. You can get really tired after teaching for hours anyway…but add no sleep and you can be in trouble fast:-) So, I knew my only choice was to...

Italy {days one and two}

{all photos in this post were taken with my phone camera} Before I share anything I have to start here…. The fedora. I have begged Kelly to wear hats for years. I think he finally just felt sorry for me and how pathetic I look when I beg. It only took going to...
Home Again {jiggity jig}

Home Again {jiggity jig}

We are home from Italy and slowly adjusting to the time change. We missed our children so much (but not so much that we didn’t love our time alone). I always think the break away from them helps me to come home more focused on how I want to love on them even...
