{Boba & the Lake}

 If there’s one thing you know about our family, it’s that we absolutely love spending quality time together. Whether it’s chasing sunsets, heading out to the lake, exploring fields of bluebonnets, or soaking in the beauty of sunflowers—anything that gets us outdoors is our kind of thing. We’ve always found such joy in nature, and it’s become a treasured part of our family’s rhythm.

Lucky for us, we have this hidden gem right in our own town—a small, peaceful lake that’s perfect for our little outdoor adventures. Over time, we’ve discovered a secret spot by the lake that’s just perfect for watching the sunsets. It’s one of those places that feels like it’s meant just for us. Whenever we sit there and take in the beauty around us, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It’s a moment I’ll forever treasure—the quiet, the colors in the sky, and the company of my little family.

On this particular evening, Mason had a special request before we made our way to the lake—he asked for Boba. Of course, we couldn’t say no. So we made a quick stop to satisfy his craving before heading out to our favorite spot. I love these little spontaneous moments, they make the adventure even more fun. Plus, this is the cutest little Boba spot. 

As we drove out to the lake, I couldn't help but think of a quote I came across recently that really resonated with me: “I don’t just see sunsets. I feel them.” That quote couldn’t be more true for me—it captures exactly how I feel every time we experience a sunset together. It’s not just about watching the sky change colors, it’s about feeling it. I feel it deep in my soul. There’s something so magical about those moments, something that words can hardly describe. It’s a beautiful reminder of how precious time is, and how thankful I am for these quiet, simple evenings with the people who mean everything to me.

This evening was no different. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and as we sat together, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly blessed. There is no place I’d rather be than with these two amazing humans, sharing in the beauty of the world around us. It’s moments like this that remind me of what truly matters—the love, the laughter, and the connection we share as a family.
