family time

you know those moments when you just think life can't get any better?

last night my family had a homemade ice cream, burgers, sweet tea, and swim party as one last hurrah before all the kids go off their separate ways. we had brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins all together at our house.

after devouring delicious homemade vanilla and orange sherbet ice cream, we told ghost stories while we cooled off in the pool. even though they were supposed to be spooky, we couldn't help but die laughing after each one. i'm so blessed to be a part of a family that treasures all things southern, laughter, good food, dancing, story-telling and each other.

"go and proclaim in the hearing of jerusalem: this is what the LORD says: 'i remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness, through a land not sown.'"

jeremiah 2:2
