About Me

My photo
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!

Florida 2014

This spring break we got to go to Florida! So proud of Jeffrey for earning this trip! We had an absolute blast! We flew out on Wednesday night, checked in to our hotel at Disney. We did Magic Kingdom Thursday and Hollywood Studios on Friday. We had so much fun just the two of us riding rides and acting silly.











We then left Disney to check in to our hotel for the work trip portion! Jeffrey's company is so generous with this trip and it always a blast! I did a lot of hanging out by the pool and he did a lot of golfing. We did go to Universal one day and had a lot of fun hanging out with our Federated friends!










Thankful for travel,

MJ

Snow Day 1, 2 & 3

SNOW DAY!!!! Those words are music to this counselor's ears!!! Last week we had two full days off of school, one late start and one early dismissal. I worked a total of 1.5 days! It was so fun! We had brunch, played games, played in the snow, hung out with friends, cleaned, worked out and were just plain lazy. 










Thankful for snow days,

One of my FAVORITE PLACES on EARTH

Getting to be a YL leader means at some point my sweet sweet girls will graduate and go to college (tears). I honestly do not know how I will say goodbye to these sweet girls in two years, but until then I am going to soak up all the time I get with them. Two of my friends are SENIORS this year and they both were accepted to Baylor, but needed to see the campus. Three of my sophomore girls are already convinced it is where they will go to college so we decided to set up a Baylor day! My bestie Krista came along and we had the best day in Waco. We started the day with a campus tour, then we hit some Waco hot spots (Georges, Spice, Suspension bridge, Common grounds). Krista and I met in Waco so it was fun to get to do that with her. I had the best day showing these girls one of my favorite places on earth. No matter where they end up I know they will be successful! Cannot wait to see how God uses them! 





SIC EM,

Valentines Day 2015

This Valentines was extra fun because we got to spend it with Nathan & Annie! We went to stay in Gilmer for the weekend. We started off watching Nathan coach on Friday night, then spent Saturday morning drinking coffee, eating breakfast and catching up. We then loaded up the car and headed to Jefferson, Texas & Uncertain, Texas. Our plan was to do whatever we wanted! It turned out to be a great plan, we ate, antique shopped, took lots of pictures, explored and took in the beautiful day! We finished the day with homemade nachos and a movie at the Heflin's house. I always hate saying goodbye, but sure do love all the time we do get to spend with them!




















Thankful for The Heflins,

MJ
