“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for new and richer experience.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

This past week, we had the pleasure of having my dear friend Ruth over for a full seven days. We went out exploring every day that we could and spent our time talking, laughing, and crying. My boys fell in love with her. The first thing the boys asked for each morning was her and they couldn’t wait for her to get up. It still blows my mind how our friendship has stayed in tact over such a long period of time. We are so fortunate to have crossed paths in our early 20’s and to have walked through life with each other since then. These photos truly capture how we all felt about our days together. They were definitely fun filled, a little messy, and incredibly memorable.
