September, October, November

Where has the time gone! It's pretty obvious I'm not very good at being a consistent blogger, kudos to all you religious bloggers! 

Since it is impossible to tell each detail of the past 3 months, I will do my best to touch all the highlights! 

That time I dressed up as Recycle Ralph the dog to teach the 3 R's: reduce, reuse, recycle. The kids LOVED Recycle Ralph!


That time one of my oldest friends tied the knot! Congrats Kelsey & Seaver!


That time my nephew turned THREE & turned into batman. What a stud, "it's go time.", he said to himself as he looking into the mirror. 

That time at the Dallas Museum of Art I got stalked by THIS guy! Great day at the museum with one of my bff's from college! 

 love this little Liz! 


That time UMHB had Homecoming! Got to spend time with some of my best friends! What can I say about Kassidy, he is seriously one of my best friends. He has a heart willing to serve & love anyone he meets. The Lord has done some amazing things in & through him & I'm so excited to see how The Lord continues to use & grow kass! 

The original group (minus one, JC, who is serving overseas with people who don't know Jesus.) I can't begin to explain the amount of love I have for this group of people. Love & miss them more each day! 


That time YoungLife Capernaum had an arts/talent show to raise money to help send my friends to camp! What an incredible night! So thankful for people who love & support the things I'm passionate about! 




That time YoungLife Capernaum had a Halloween costume party!! 






 That time I showed up at a costume party & was wearing the same dress as a man. His costume was "a bearded woman"...of course of all the dresses he could've purchased, he was wearing the same dress as I was. #typical #hillarious 

 That very happy night I was able to FaceTime with one of my best friends/roommate from college! She too is serving those who don't know Jesus! She was in Nepal at the time, soon to be on African soil! 

 That time my brother turned 28! Whoa, WHERE has the time gone, seriously! I love this man, he's the biggest goober on the planet. 

 My beautiful momma & nephew at Dustin's birthday dinner!

 Like father, like son. 


 That time my best friends ARE PREGNANT!! Welcome to the world, precious baby Olivia! Can't believe Mary & Travis are going to be parents! What incredible parents they will be! CONGRATS!

 That time I reached my goal & lost 20 lbs! YAY! Can anyone say Advocare? My beautiful, supportive friend Whitney has given me the courage & encouragement every step of the way! Eat right, exercise & enjoy life & losing weigh isn't so horrible! 

That time MercyStreet 9th grade girls had a Thanksgiving dinner & was able to join! How I miss these girls & this community! So thankful for summer 2013 to get to know & love these beautiful girls! God is so faithful & doing so much more in my life than I ever hoped or dreamed for!! 

That time one of my best friend a got engaged to the love her life! Seriously can't explain how much Whitney means to me & how excited I am for her & Adam to start a life together! #mommy so happy for you two! 

THAT TIME IM MOVING TO SOUTH ASIA!! So yeah, I'm moving to South Asia & one way I am raising funds is through selling jars of hommade hot sauce! 

And finally, IM GRADUATING! Praise The Lord, it's about time! My wonderful friend Monica took some senior photos & did such an incredible job! Follow this link to learn more about her work, she's amazing: http://www.fresholdphotoblog.com/2013/11/26/delaine-senior/


Like I said before, God is so good, loving & gives His children the desires of their hearts. He has done so much in my life in just the past 3 months that I could've never planned or dreamed up! I love you, Jesus, & I'm so thankful to call you my Father! 

I look forward to the many blessings & challenges you send my way. I know times can be hard, but you've set your ways before me & I will hold fast to the truth that you're guiding me & loving me along the way! May I be continually reminded of His grace & love & His praise be ever on my lips.
