A day in the garden

So while my mom was here, I kept her busy....One day we were blessed to have a beautiful sunny day so we planted these beautiful flowers. I know you aren't really suppose to plant until after Derby Day but we couldn't resist. I have no clue what the names of the flowers are, but they are super pretty and I took these with my new camera! They look amazing :) 

A little bit of fun

They say time flies when your having fun, I guess thats why my mom already has to leave :(

I LOVE having my mom here and I LOVE that we did nothing... well I mean nothing big. We just hung out around the house. We played outside a lot, gardened, went for walks, made gnocchi and as always bought little put it together projects for Nate! (We always come up with crazy, fun projects for Nate) I love you so much mom, thanks for making more memories with us.

Making Gnocchi with Mimi

They had fun poking the holes...

  

It's time for a change...

Every since I can remember soccer has been apart of my life. I wanted to be like my brother and play, so mom and dad signed me at the age of 4 and it has been a passion of mine ever since. Soccer has brought so much joy to my life and taken me to some very amazing places and brought so many wonderful people into my life. Soccer has taken me to Hawaii, the Bahamas, Nevada, Northern California, all over  beautiful Southern California, Japan, Mexico and that's just to name a few.

It was in my Sophomore year at Vanguard that the coaching fire was ignited and it has been burning strong ever since. God blessed me beyond words with girls that I have been able to coach over the years. The girls from El Toro, Trabucco Hills and West Jessamine have impacted my life, and I cherish every one of the girls!

God has been stirring in my heart yet again, and after a couple years of wrestling with God and waiting on His timing, He finally answered!  
It is with GREAT JOY THAT I ANNOUNCE I WILL BE THE ASBURY WOMEN'S ASSISTANT COACH!!!

To my West Girls: Please know that I love you all and this was a hard choice. Being with you all the past 6 years has been AMAZING and I have so many wonderful, fun, crazy memories.... from King Island Halloween, to beating Catholic three times in a year, final four, District, Regional, and Sectional Champs!!! To the pasta parties, bible studies and all the silly times in-between. You will always have a special place in my heart!  

To my Asbury Ladies: This has been a long time coming, I have thought about taking this job more then once, but it was never the right time, but God has finally paved the way! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time. I look forward to all the new memories and adventures!

So Thankful

Seven years ago I married the man of my dreams! Life has been a whirlwind of adventures and wild journeys.

Nathan and I moved from Southern California to Lexington Kentucky six years ago. This move has been the best thing for our marriage. I say that the move brought us closer together because we have only had each other.

Needless to say moving to Kentucky created some anxiety in me and to have no family around it was rough. I am not proud to say that I treated Nathan poorly, once even telling him I was packing my junk and driving home! In desperation Nathan bought me a ticket home to see me family. I left Nathan with no intentions of coming back to Kentucky. While I was away, God and I fought. I was very confused and heart broken but after wrestling with God two weeks later I forced myself back on an airplane to Kentucky.

Coming back to Kentucky was a total God thing! God met Nate and I in our darkest hour and He gave us a light and gave us Hope. It was a long journey back to normalcy but God brought us back to happier times, and God continues to Bless us and teach us.

The past seven years have been a blast and with God in our home there is nothing that Nathan and I can't take on!

Nathan, I thank you for loving me even when I don't deserve it. Thank you for treating me as woman of Christ and Cherishing me! I love you with all that I am!
