I love trying new things. One thing I’ve been thinking about for a while is fire painting. I don’t know if that’s the official name for it, but it’s basically light painting, but with fire instead of phones or flashlights. I don’t even remember how it came up, but earlier this year I discovered that my friend Carmen and her brother Alec had some experience in this. After a few months we were able to find a day that we could all meet up and do some pyrotecnics!

This is the result.

Caution and research is advised if you ever try this at home. :) Thanks to Carmen, Alec, and Alex for coming along, modeling, and fire dancing minus dancing. ;)

Here’s more pictures from my (and Christian and Marcy’s) Pennsylvania adventure. We went hiking! Ricketts Glen State Park is a classic childhood hiking spot for my family. It’s a pretty great place and as a bonus, allegedly has 22 named waterfalls.

I love adventuring with my family. :)

This past month my brother and sister in law road tripped up to Pennsylvania to visit family and go to my cousin’s wedding. My family is such a huge blessing to me–both relatives and immediate family. Having so many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins has always made family gatherings quite exciting.

More to come.

I love these two. Mark and Courtney are so inspirational both in how they admire and treasure each other and in their pursuit of God through everything. Mark is one of the best friends anyone could ask for and I’m glad that he found such an awesome girl to join in life’s journey. Love you guys. :)
