This truck just makes my heart so happy. All the n This truck just makes my heart so happy. All the nostalgia feels. She sure showed well today at the cruise-in. And the fact that heads turned when I started her up at the end was just icing on the cake. #ford #f150
If you would have told me 21 years ago... back whe If you would have told me 21 years ago... back when you had to be a "member" to drink at an establishment in Bell County, Texas... That someday I'd drink beer brewed in Belton, Tx, and that I'd find my way into a speakeasy just a block from the Bell County Courthouse, I'd have laughed and laughed and laughed... ...and yet here we are. My how times have changed. One thing that hasn't changed: my friendship with these women. They have been and continue to be a strong constant in my life. 🫶🏼 And for that, I am deeply thankful.
The tabbies had a rough day. Both got their shots The tabbies had a rough day. Both got their shots updated (good for 3 years now, though!) and had their claws trimmed. Henry got microchipped and was informed he's overweight at 21 lbs. River (who was chipped last year) now weighs 10 lbs., and what we thought was a seroma post-spay may actually be a hernia that we will just continue to monitor. Whew! They have every reason to be lazy tonight. #catsofinstagram #riverswildcatlife #henryscatworld #tabbycats @twotabbytux

Last year, I helped photograph the SOURCE awards t Last year, I helped photograph the SOURCE awards the night before I met with my medical oncologist for the first time. Tonight, I helped photograph this year's event the day after my radiation oncologist "cut me loose." I LOVE this event, and hearing the stories of the women being honored is always SO inspiring.

Made my first trip out to @calfkillerbeer today wi Made my first trip out to @calfkillerbeer today with @ehjosey and @cc.love2 ... What a fun day!! I highly recommend everyone visit our friends at Calfkiller when you get a chance. Not only is the beer delicious, but the location is fantastic! And don't forget Klaus, the CalfKiller Brewery Dog. He became my friend. Really made me miss having a dog. ❤️ #calfkillerbrewery #klausthebrewdog #spartatn #daytrippin #craftbeer
It’s my one year Cancerversary. One year ago, It’s my one year Cancerversary. One year ago, sitting at Cracker Barrel with my parents and my husband, my phone rang and I heard the words, “It’s cancer.” What immediately followed was a feeling of the world imploding and stopping all at the same time. Fear. Grief. Sadness. Confusion. Fear. Then eventually sheer determination. Sheer determination to be right here. Right now. One year later still standing. One year later on the cusp of finishing treatment. One year later having heard the words, “There was no cancer left,” after surgery. I’m still not 100% strength-wise, but I’m getting there. I have residual side effects and pain that I might be dealing with for a long time to come. I’ve been beaten up by treatment, but I’m still standing. I’m more thankful and determined than ever before in my life. Here’s to having gotten through THE hardest year of my life. 🍻 #triplepositivebreastcancer #cancerversary #breastcancer #BTHObreastcancer #strongertoday

That girl had ZERO idea what lay ahead, but she did know one thing: she'd made a life long dream come true. Graduate from Texas A&M University. @tamu Forever one of the greatest successes of my life, attending Texas A&M and being an Aggie is a huge part of who I am. From experiences to relationships, my time at Texas A&M is wound through the fabric of my life in a deeply profound way. So here's to 20 years a former student @aggienetwork ... proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 2003. Whoop! #gigem

New 'do, who dis? I've seen it time and time agai New 'do, who dis? I've seen it time and time again in my cancer groups, and I can confirm personally: one of the hardest parts of cancer treatment is losing your hair. Because it's never "just hair." For better or worse, especially as women, we put a lot of emphasis on our hair. And losing it just feels like you lose a part of yourself. You look in the mirror and are instantly reminded you're sick. I opted to wear a wig, and it meant a LOT to me to do so. People who didn't know... Didn't know. I wasn't treated any differently. I looked in the mirror, and I was looking back at myself. It was an empowering day the day I stopped wearing my wig. Today was another empowering day. My first hair appointment since my hair started to grow back. Thank you, thank you, thank you @galileegracehair @galileebarlow for working your magic. For taking such care of me. For giving me a boost of confidence and making me feel amazing. Sassy. Stylish. I love it and you. Swipe to see a before image and how dark my hair came in... Loving this new shade and so happy to have shape and style again!!! 🙌🏼 #newhair #hairafterchemo #breastcancersurvivor #triplepositivebreastcancer
Due to my fingers swelling (a gift from cancer tre Due to my fingers swelling (a gift from cancer treatment) I haven't been able to wear my wedding set since April or May. I took my rings in to get resized last week, and I just got them back. I've missed these rings so much!!! They look brand new! Thank you @americanjewelryco for always doing such incredible work. 🥰😍
