the fourth


We celebrated July 4th the same as every year,with our church family at Rockport. As with all holidays, it is totally acceptable (actually—encouraged) to get decked out in your festive clothes. Thankfully, there are many at Rockport who agree!

Blog, friends, photoshoot

abandoned


I’ll start out this post by saying how good my husband is to me. He knows how badly I sometimes need to get out for the day and spend time with friends. So occasionally, I get to go out while he stays at home with all the kids. 

Monday was one of those days. Coincidentally, it was also the hottest day this year (I think!) A while back, our friend Rachel had told us about an abandoned church in the city, but she didn’t know the location. Once she finally figured it out, we decided to round up the photography club and head out there. Unfortunately, Rachel was not feeling well that day so she wasn’t able to go 🙁 

I was so excited to be able to photograph at this church. Once I got home, I realized my pictures actually didn’t really turn out too well. So I guess I’ll have to head out there again (on a not-so-hot day.) 
These pictures are a mix of dslr and iPhone.

of course the trip wouldn’t have been complete without a stop at a Gen 3 Quiktrip for their delicious soft pretzels and some frozen custard at Andy’s (and a couple thrift stores)
