Daytona

Life has been absolutely crazy the last month. And it is all because of this place: Daytona. Unlike most sports where the biggest event of the season takes place at the conclusion, the 'superbowl' of our year kicks off our 38-week schedule.

Thankfully after two trips, eight total days, numerous rain storms and soaking up some rays, I was able to return to Carolina and finally stop living out of a suitcase. I'm blessed to have a job that I enjoy waking up to every day which allows me to see many cities across the United States. But no matter the length of my trip, nothing feels better when I land back home in Charlotte.

I've learned over the years that Dorothy was right...there really is no place like home.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

As I flipped through my calendar this morning, it hit me. 

The first month of 2012 is almost in the books. Where has the time gone? I swear January 1st seems like yesterday and we were all making goals and resolutions for the new year. Let's please not talk about how those are going for this girl. 

However, one of my goals for this year was to document more...journal, blog, take pictures, do anything that will help me remember where I've been and what I've done. The older I get the more I realize that I'm blessed to do a lot of one-of-a-kind experiences and so often I have nothing to show for it. And as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. 

Here are a few shots I've captured over the last week.
