In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Last Day of Being 24

Filed under: Photos — Rachel at 5:17 pm on Thursday, July 3, 2008

Today was my last day of being twenty-four.It was kind of awesome.

We started out our day by taking the big kids to Roane County Park for swimming and a picnic. Owen couldn’t go because of his stitches, so he spent a few hours with his Mamaw Velvet.

After that, we came home and made me presentable again, and then we picked up Owen, Chris bought me an ice cream cake for my birthday and some fireworks. We headed up to Wartburg to visit my Mamaw June and Papaw Jay.

When we left there, we took Mamaw with us, and went to my parents’ house for my pre-birthday celebration I decided I should have. We had cake, played basketball, shot off fireworks, danced a little, and played freeze tag in the dark. You know you’re jealous.

Pre-Birthday Celebration

Tomorrow marks the day I become a quarter of a century old. We’re going to Kingston Park tomorrow evening for the big 4th of July shindig. Come see me, kids. We’ll probably be by the playground.

Happy Belated, Rachel! :)

And yes…Owen is still a baby. I mean it. I’m not just saying that. He’s so cute. Well, they all are!

Love, Holly
