hello togetherness

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing pics from UCLA a couple weeks ago. Since then, our little family has been separated a lot–first me in the Dominican Republic, then me home but Steve in the Dominican Republic. It’s been a crazy, imperfect season that has required a lot of grace. It’s time for our little family to be together. We’re ready and excited to simply be together.

It’s a brand new week full of beauty, waiting to be found. How about some hellos?

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***
