Feeling Thankful and Ready for Fall.

Clayton and I always talk about all of the places we want to visit. I've wanted to take him to Southern California to hangout with my uncles and visit my old stomping grounds for as long as we've been together. Like most people, finances always held us back. Well, that dream is now a reality and we are headed to sunny SoCal for Thanksgiving this year! I could not be more excited. There are so many things I want to show he and Knox and share with them from that season of my life. This is one of my favorite pictures I ever took while I was living there and every time I plan a visit, I look at this and get so giddy! This time is no exception. I love my life in Texas and wouldn't give it up for all the world's riches, but a piece of my heart will always lie on this beach and I am beyond excited to share it with my family!

When I got started with Rodan + Fields, I just assumed it would be a nice little bit of extra money each month. You know, enough for us to go out to eat a few times, maybe pay a couple of small bills. I could have never imagined what it would actually be. I never thought that within less than a year I would be booking a trip on a whim without thinking twice about it. I never imagined that I'd be a full time stay at home mom and spend so much time with Knox. I was talking to Tori today and will be able to help fund her doing some things during her time in the mission field of Madagascar that before I would have just had to pray someone else could fund. God has truly blessed this little side gig and today I am feeling extra thankful for that!

And on a completely unrelated note, I wore this super cute pair of camo flats today in honor of the slightly cooler weather. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit excited about the camo trend for next season. Come on, fall!
