St. Louis, my city (video)


In my last post, I mentioned my love for the NYC guide video series by Naomi from Love Taza. I thought it would be so fun to do one for St. Louis. I asked Maggi if she would let me record her walking around the city. She graciously agreed, knowing that the quality wouldn’t be the best. The problem? Narrowing down where you want to go. We decided to start with the downtown area. 

I know I’m going to regret linking back to the NYC guide because mine ended up being nowhere near how good that one is. But I had a lot of fun making it. I’m thankful for a friend who will walk back and forth for me all day. 

Blog, Family, family camp

family camp (part three)


It’s hard to believe that Family Camp was 2 weeks ago. I shouldn’t be surprised. This happens all the time. I look forward to an event, counting down the days until that specific event will occur, and then when it’s over, I spend months saying “I can’t believe it has been ‘x amount of time’ since that happened! 
 
Because of that, it has been really special to me to have this space to document our lives. I am not a writer. My mind just doesn’t work like that. I tend to either write way too much, including unimportant details, or I don’t write much of anything. I’ve been in that kind of a rut here lately; only writing a few sentences before posting mostly pictures. I love pictures and don’t see myself changing that aspect anytime soon. But I do want to find a balance between writing too much and writing too little. We’ll see how that goes.
 
Anyway, back to Family Camp. Out of the 4 days we were there, we had one nice, gorgeous, fall-weather day. Relay races and volleyball took place all day. I took tons of photos that day so I obviously couldn’t post them all. But here are some of them from the day…

And that’s it for the Family Camp pictures. My pictures all revolve around the activities that happened during the day but I would really have to say one of my favorite parts of the weekend is to spend time with people who are like-minded, getting to know some people that you don’t know as well. Lots of love going around. 
Until next year…
