this picture is from when my mom my sister and i went to iowa in august. i love this picture for multiple reasons. when we went to iowa my moms whole family was there... well for the most part. and we had a huge birthday bash for a few people. and it was during the time that i didnt live with my parents and so it was the first time my mom and i had really hung out in about a year. and while we were in iowa there were tornados all over the state. but no matter how close the tornados got to us or how humid it was, or how small the town was, or how bored i was... there was no where else on earth that i wouldve rather been at that moment because i had everyone right there with me. i also love this picture because it shows the beauty in a storm. and although sometimes lifre is dark and uncertain there is always beauty in it. if you just look. :]
