Cheer Camp




Claire and Cam finished a 4 day camp at Woodmont this week. They learned cheer drills, basic stunts, chants, and a team dance. They were each paired up with a varsity cheerleader who was their "big sis" for the week. Today they hosted a showcase of what they learned this week. The girls both loved it - think they both caught the cheerleading bug!


Brookwood County Fair







After my baptism, the Finley crew stayed for a bit and we let the kids enjoy the carnival rides at the Brookwood County Fair! So much fun for them!

Baptism





Sunday afternoon I received a believer's baptism at Brookwood Church. I am so grateful for my family and friends that attended this special time and for Nathan who was able to baptize me along with our Pastor Perry Duggar. Thank you to my family and friends for keeping me accountable, encouraging me in my faith, and coming along the journey as I seek to have a home and marriage that honors and glorifies God. 

Jeremiah 6:16:

 This is what the LORD says: 
       "Stand at the crossroads and look; 
       ask for the ancient paths, 
       ask where the good way is, and walk in it, 
       and you will find rest for your souls.



Alpha Delta Pi Convention

I have the honor and pleasure of serving as the Chapter Advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi Chapter at Clemson University. Last week I attended the 158th Grand Convention in Orlando, Florida. I am so proud of the women of our chapter not only for the outstanding awards they win, but also for the character of the women themselves and their continued commitment to serve in a leadership role within the chapter. Katie, Caroline, Morgan, and Sydney you are all wonderful women and I hope my girls grow up to be as smart, driven, and poised as each one of you! I had so much fun with you last week!

Harris Reunion






Some sweet pictures of us at the Harris Family Reunion. My middle name is Harris and this gathering makes me remember my sweet grandmother and the love she shared with all of her family. Camdyn loved the farm (especially the horses) at my second cousin Jan's house! Mom - the girls and I had fun sharing this day with you!

Candlelight Run 2009



Despite having a not so glorious run (to say the least) I did have fun with my fellow "hoodies" at the Candlelight 5K. Here are a few pics! I'm still waiting on a few from Kristi too to post!
