Today we made our way back home to Texas. Our route took us through Chicago first, and we got to fly over Lake Michigan for a bit. The water was this gorgeous emerald color – I had to do a double take! Honestly, it could have passed for the Caribbean. Nobody tell the tourists. 😄🌊
We flew out to Dayton, Ohio today for the WGI Finals to watch Koa perform. This is his last season of competitive percussion — he’s aging out, so this one feels a little extra special. We make it to Finals every year to cheer him on, and this time is no different. I hope he soaks up every moment of these last few shows! 🥁🎉
We went shopping downtown today under an overcast sky, but the sun started breaking through as the morning went on. The clouds were something else. A huge cumulus cloud dominated the sky, and then when sunset hit, everything turned all sorts of colors. It was really beautiful. I never get tired of a good cloud show. ☁️

I went out for an evening run around the neighborhood tonight and ended up spending half the time looking up. 😄 The clouds were gorgeous, and with the sun setting, the colors were something else. I even caught a few birds flying in front of one of the clouds, and an airplane streaking right past the moon. Not a bad way to end the day. 🌙
After work this evening I laced up my shoes and headed out for a run. The clouds were putting on quite a show, and I kept glancing up to admire them as I made my way along.
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve been running regularly, so I struggled a bit. 😅 Still, I managed to make it the entire route without stopping… except for the photo breaks to capture the beautiful clouds. 📸☁️
Just a quick walk to the mailbox, but the sky made it worth stepping outside. ☁️
Pretty beautiful, right?
On today’s walk to the mailbox, I was treated to a pretty cloud formation. Then, on the way back home, the moon said hello 🌥️🌙
