SBC Day 5: Top 5 Highlights from Summer

1. In June, my family and I went on our first big vacation in several years. We are a history loving family, so we went to Williamsburg, Virginia. Yes, we are nerds. But it was so much fun!! Here are a few pictures.

The beautiful Shenandoah Valley

Me! 

Just one more picture of the Shenandoah Valley!

2. My best friend and I graduated from junior college this past May. So we wanted to take a celebratory trip! A couple months and lots of planning later, me, my best friend, and 2 of our other good friends headed off to Orlando for a few days! Here are a few pictures from that trip!

Yes we went to Magic Kingdom for a day!

One of my lifelong dreams... meeting Cinderella... came true!

The Wishes Fireworks show... Absolutely beautiful!

3. I also was privileged to teach the music for Vacation Bible School at my church. It was a great experience and definitely one of one of the highlights of my summer!

4. With the help of my mama, I made my first caramel cake this summer! Ok so in my family, this is a big deal! My grandmother used to make caramel cakes, and they were pretty much famous in her community! So when my mama was about 20, she started making caramel cakes and now all her friends and family love them! So of course I have to carry on the tradition and learn how to make them myself!

5. I think my last highlight of summer is just being able to spend time with my friends and family. I moved two hours away from home this fall, so having this past summer to work, shop for the apartment, pack, and just spend time with everyone was absolutely fabulous!
