Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.Romans 12:1

My Celebrity...

I traveled with these two girls to Mobile this weekend to cheer on some of our favorite Jags!


The very first order of business was to see my brother and of course 
torture him within the first 5 minutes of our visit for a picture!! 
(One day, he and Love are going to appreciate me making them snap all these moments on the camera) 

Friday night we watched the Women's soccer team BEAT Murray State!
Morgan played a great game and I loved catching up with Mrs.Motes!
I also reunited with two of my other brothers, Taylor & Ben!

Saturday morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast on this porch in downtown Mobile.

Mammy had a little fight after breakfast with a retractable cord on the travel iron
which ended with a visit to Urgent Care. Thankfully no stitches, just a few tears and dermabond!
We then headed to campus to enjoy a little football fun!!


Trey really is so sweet to always oblige my picture requests. 
It is so exciting to watch them get off that big bus at Jag Prowl 
and steal a quick squeeze. I am in love with this picture!
I feel like he is a celebrity....well he is my celebrity anyway!
The first Jag Prowl I ever attended I followed him (ok ran behind him like a psycho paparazzi) from the door of the charter bus until the sheriff stopped me at the entrance to stadium tunnel.
I have learned to control my excitement and stay in one place and not knock over pregnant women and children trying to get pictures of the boy.......
just one proud sister is all I can say!

You know how God just puts sweet, amazing people in your life...
those kind that you just can't help but love.
Those that love the people you love which in turn makes you love them even more...
well meet The Malone's!
They are Trey's other family for sure and mine too!!
Needless to say, we had a HUGE TREY FAN CLUB in the stands!
It was a blessing to spend time with them this weekend and love on one another!
Thankful that God put each of them in our lives!!


And you know this girl....Morgan Motes!
A girl that has my heart!
Her sweet spirit and precious friendship is amazing!

Words can't really describe what an awesome game this was for the Jags.
They worked hard and God just kept blessing Trey (and me) throughout every quarter!
Trey scored the winning TD!!
By the end of the 3rd quarter our cheering section was literally almost on the sidelines of the stadium.
When it was over Trey JUMPED over the bars into the arms of Taylor & Ben for a celebratory group hug!!! I was boo-hooing of course by this point and made my way around the pile of people to the edge of crowd....as Trey walked back to the sideline I screamed "Trey Fetner!!" My sweet brother ran back and picked me up off my feet.....FAVORITE moment of his college career!!!
With tears flowing I thanked God in that moment for His plan for Trey and the 
blessings he has given him along the way during this journey.
It's not about football....it's about Him!!
He teaches us through things like football though....
I can't even begin right now to tell you all the lessons I have learned, Trey has learned and we have learned as a family throughout these seasons.....
God is really BIG, He is in control and oh man HE IS GOOD!
I am thankful that His plans are so much greater than I could even imagine!



These blue eyes shine at the end of the highlight video on the jumbotron!!
CHILLS every time!!! ;)

ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!!








No doubt...Trey and I are blessed with AMAZING parents!!
I can't thank Jesus enough for these two who have given us
a life that I can't describe how good it is in words....
Lilo & Stitch once said,
"This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little and broken but still good. Yeah, still good."
No matter what, we always find each other. We celebrate together. We love each other.
That's what it's all about. 
"Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God." 1 John 4:7
I love these 3 more than they will ever know and I am so thankful God made them mine.
