I can’t believe I forgot to share this here! 🤍

A few days have passed, and I’ve had some time to reflect on what an incredible night the @mothers.refuge Gala was.

I had the joy of attending last year, too, and it meant so much to be invited back. And I’ll admit,I love any excuse to get dressed up! But what makes this night truly special is the heart behind it.

I love Mother’s Refuge and everything this organization stands for. I’ve had the privilege of serving and photographing some of their sweet babies, and each time I witness the love and support they give young moms walking through difficult seasons, I’m reminded of just how much their work matters. They come alongside moms and their babies with compassion, encouragement, and hope, and I’m so grateful to support their mission.

I was also so thankful to have Braydon as my plus one for the evening. 🤍 I left feeling incredibly grateful for all the people in my life who show up, serve, give, and help others. It was such a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together to care for one another.

Thank you, @mothers.refuge , for such a meaningful night and for the incredible work you continue to do. 🤍

I knew a few days ago that it would probably be the last time I’d see my meme… but somehow that didn’t make this any easier.

Last night, she went to heaven.

And today… marks two years since my dad did.

I don’t even have words for how heavy that feels. It’s like grief is stacking on top of grief, and my heart doesn’t know where to put it all.

I keep thinking about how I got to hold her hand, look into her eyes, and tell her I love her one more time. I knew it mattered in that moment, but I don’t think I realized just how much I would cling to it now.

Because I didn’t get that with my dad.

And that reality is hitting even harder today.

There’s something so sacred about a goodbye… even when it breaks you.

My meme was the definition of showing up. She didn’t just say she loved us, she proved it in every way. Every game, every play, every moment… she was there. I can still see her smile in the crowd like I was the only one that mattered.

And the little things… those are the ones I keep going back to. Sitting with her, doing her hair, her makeup, pressing on her nails, putting on her lashes because she always called me her beauty girl.

It doesn’t feel real that I’m here again… grieving someone I love this deeply, almost exactly two years later.

It doesn’t feel fair.

It just feels… heavy.

But if there’s one thing about my meme, it’s that she didn’t live with fear. Even at the end, there was a peace about her that didn’t make sense unless you knew where it came from.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25

That was her.

And today, even through the tears, I’m holding onto the only thing that brings me any comfort…

This isn’t the end.

So this isn’t a goodbye.

I’ll see you later meme❤️‍🩹

P.s……she promised me she was up there fishing with my dad😉 by @awesomeness___ella

Sometimes growth doesn’t happen in isolation…
it happens in rooms like this.

And if I’m being honest, I didn’t always believe that. I’m someone who’s used to pushing through things on my own, staying busy, telling myself I’m fine… even when I wasn’t. There have been seasons where I felt off, overwhelmed, or just not like myself, and instead of slowing down, I just kept going.

But stepping into rooms like this has changed something in me.

These aren’t just any rooms. These are the kind where conversations go deeper than surface level. Where laughter is louder, but so are the honest moments. Where you can show up exactly as you are, without feeling like you have to have it all together.

Because if we’re being real… most of us don’t.

And somehow, this is where I’ve seen God move the most. Not in the perfect moments, but right in the middle of the messy, the in-between, the figuring it out. In the conversations, in the people, in the moments I didn’t even realize I needed.

There’s something so powerful about being surrounded by people who are all chasing the same thing. Not perfection, but purpose. Not image, but identity. Not just going through life, but actually growing through it.

I didn’t realize how much I needed spaces like this until I found them. The kind of place where you feel seen without having to explain everything. Where you can walk in carrying a lot, and somehow leave feeling lighter, encouraged, and reminded you’re not alone.

And maybe that’s what some of us have been missing. Not more answers, not trying harder, not doing more… but just being in the right environment with the right people.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or just off… I get it. I’ve been there too.

But maybe it’s not something you have to fix on your own.

Maybe it’s just time to find your people 🤍

I love you @paradigm_kc by @awesomeness___ella

This is your sign to go see DWTS with your bestie.😼

For Jolie’s birthday this year, I decided to gift her something a little different. Not something wrapped in a box, but an experience. I surprised her with tickets to the Dancing With The Stars Tour, and honestly it might be one of the best gifts I’ve ever given.

Here’s something I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older. You eventually forget the things you buy.

You forget the shirt.
The random Amazon package.
The thing you thought you had to have in the moment.

But you don’t forget experiences.

You remember the car ride there. The excitement walking into the venue. Laughing way too loud during the show. All the little behind the scenes moments that end up being the best part.

Watching Jolie experience it all was honestly the real gift. From the energy of the crowd to the insane talent on that stage, the whole night was just fun in the best way.

Getting to share moments like that with your best friend is something you really can’t put a price tag on.

If you’ve been debating spending money on an experience instead of “stuff,” consider this your reminder to do it. Years from now you probably won’t remember what you bought that month, but you will remember the night you laughed, danced, and made memories with someone you love. 💃✨ by @awesomeness___ella

Ugh where do I even begin? What an honor it has been to be apart of this show with these specific people. If you ask me it’s a total God thing. This show has been unbelievably tough having to open and close another chapter without my dad right by my side, but I had dear friends and family who picked me up and got me through it.

Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good.🕊️🥖this song not only helped me heal but understand my dad was truly there and spoke to me through my friends….

Love you all taken in Kearney High School by @awesomeness___ella

I know this is super late, but I couldn’t find words to express how special this moment was for me and my family. Today marks 6 months since my dad has passed and what a whirlwind it has been. So bittersweet but unbelievably grateful for my kearney people❤️ I love you guys taken in Kearney, Missouri by @awesomeness___ella
