I created this blog as a way to "Keep up with the Joneses"! We feel so blessed to get to spend everyday together and my hope is that this blog is a way for us to look back and remember our journey together! I know this will evolve and I cannot wait to see what it turns in to. I have recently added my side business on to the blog. I taking a leap of faith with my photography and cannot wait to see what happens. I hope you enjoy!

Jeffrey and I on our annual back to school date! We started this tradition when we were dating and have continued it ever since! 

 My sweet friend Cindy sent me these beautiful flowers on the first day and they made my day! 

 The puppy brothers are sad that I am back to school! 
We had our first MONDAY night of the year! 


And campaigners is back in full swing!

Summer 2015 aka the post that never ends..

Well, I cannot believe this post is finally happening. I wish I could say I had no time to blog this summer, but I honestly did. I just chose to use my time in other ways.. but now as I start the year I want to be able to look back on this summer and remember.

 It was a full summer. Full of fun, excitement, joy, sadness and one we will never forget. We got to travel a alot, I got to spend time with college besties, babies were born, soon to be moms in my life were showered, had a staycation, Morgs and I took 17 girls to Frontier Ranch, we had lake trips, pool time, saw all of our families, sadly had to say goodbye to Jeffrey's grandma (Memaw) she was the only grandmother I ever had in my life and she will always be treasured, hung out with friends, had sweet sister time, had fun day dates, shot fireworks, fished, shopped, did some house projects, played with the puppies..honestly we never stopped. It was a crazy full but amazing summer, and I can confidently say I crammed as much possible into my 6 week vacation. So now to the point.. I am going to let my IPHONE pictures capture SUMMER 2015!

We started our summer with a bestie STAYCATION at the Gaylord 


Enjoyed a community group pool party 



 Hung out together! 


My first official day off work we boarded a plane for Puerto Rico.. it was just the two of us and it was AMAZING! 












Got home just in time to hang out with this boy while his mom had Jack! I am so so thankful I got to be apart of it all! We love you James and Jack! 


Did some golf carting.. 

Sent a sweet friend off to Wilderness.. She rocked it! 

Took a long awaited/planned girls trip with my college besties to Nashville 



Yes we had an entire house to sleep in, but we chose to put the mattresses in the living room! 



Jeffrey's memaw passed away and we celebrated her life! She was so special to me and such an example of how to love Jesus with your whole life. We will miss her a lot! 

We got to spend 4th of July in Lubbock with the whole Jones crew.. we always treasure time with them!








Went to a Rangers game with our Neighbor/Friends :)
