i left thursday afternoon for houston to visit my carrie and help her with her oldest son’s engagement party.  our friend stacey was there too (her daughter is the one that got married a few weeks ago).

at any rate,  i have two things to say about this.

1) when did i get old enough to have friends whose children are old enough to get married.

2) my friends carrie and stacey have more creativity in their pinky fingers than all of pinterest combined.

 

so happy that i got to share in this special day.

love,  kelly

    Wow! You gals did not leave anything undecorated! How beautiful everything looks and I can practically feel your love for one another ooze off my iPad screen. {PS – your daughter is old enough to be married. Not that I’m suggesting it, just sayin’ … } xo

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
