Deep fork wildlife refuge and breathing.

I find that I am at my best outside.

I can breath deep and things just don’t bother me as much(most of the time).

This was an impromptu visit to the refuge but much needed.

If you follow me on instagram then you have already seen these images.

Even though this was a short easy hike, it was filled with amazing things.

Crayfish pieces were all over the board walk from someone’s meal.

We saw a snake swimming in the water.

Herons and turtles.

Yesterday was a great day for an adventure.

Simple, Beautiful Moments

I have been focusing more lately on savoring all of those beautiful little moments that make up life and last Sunday was filled with them.

We visited the Deep Fork Wildlife Refuge in Okmulgee after church.

The sun was shining, the kids ran, it was beautiful.

Nick and I held hands as we walked on the Railroad Trail to the River Overlook.

I just kept sighing.

That moment was perfect.

This man is amazing.

We came home and the air filled with the sounds of kids laughing as the day faded away.

Of course the day was filled with normal stuff also, correction, fighting, and so on, but I feel like that stuff just makes the beautiful moments stand out even more.

Kids playing on a rope swing while the sun sets behind them.

I did not want to go inside and make dinner.

I felt like I would miss something.

Life is filled with so many beautiful moments, I want to cherish as many as I can.
