Our hike to Tinker Cliffs

This past Sunday our family decided to take advantage of the free afternoon we had after church, and headed out to the Katowba area to hike Tinker Cliffs. Dad thought it was going to be a four mile round trip hike, but it ended up being a eight mile round trip hike, and the whole way up was pretty steep! But I really enjoyed the hike, despite the fact that each person only brought a 16oz. water bottle with them, for a eight mile hike and it was hot and humid- though I must say, it could have been hotter! (Sorry for the run-on sentence;)
Of course, Elijah was not with us, he was in Texas;) 
The view from the top was gorgeous and I can only imagine the view if I had hiked it when the colors of the leaves were changing!! But anyway, I will share some pictures with you guys:)

Just starting out:)



Resting a spell
The view from the top was gorgeous! 


Someone thought they needed to be just a little closer to the sky;) 



Found a struggling butterfly that I picked up and moved to a safe place
The solid rock cliffs 

The refreshing creek at the very bottom of the mountain 


Mom was so glad she made it up and all the way back! She was quite tired!
Splashing in the creek while waiting for mom and dad to catch up;) 


So there are some pictures of our hike for you:) I hope you enjoyed them!
Now I'm off to see my brother who gets home from Texas today! Yay! 
Until next time, 
~ Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post. Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week. We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!} I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:) A couple things I learned while down there are: One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand  time:...

Why have I been so silent?

Okay, so you guys might be wondering why I haven't posted in a while- unless you follow me on social media;) But if you don't, I have been silent because I have been busy with...  My brother Elijah and his new fiancé! He got engaged this past Sunday to Faith Grubb and we are all thrilled for him!! I will share a few pictures like normal. But you may be wondering how they met and where and such. I will provide you with a few details.  He met her this past March (2015) at a get together he and my other brother attended. Over the spring and summer they got to know each other long distance and after praying about it, they felt the Lord leading them to marriage. Faith is from the big state Texas, and so it is a ways from where we live, but Elijah doesn't mind the drive to see her, and makes the trip when time allows. Hopefully we will get to see their family this fall and have some good fellowship time with them:) We look forward to seeing them, and helping Elijah and Faith as t...
