i am spending the week in tn with my family.

sadie, eli and i drove around the farm this morning. 

this is what we saw:

the first night here, there was an amazing thunderstorm. 

then, this rainbow appeared along with this sunset.

i had to share...

some of my favorite things around my parent's house:

where we have eaten all of our dinners

violets, remind me of my grandmother, emma lou

this and

this stand out to me today.

finally, i find it humorous that my parents have the collages i made of them (when i was in elementary school) hanging over their bed. :)
