la tee da

It has been one of those weeks. One that is quite unusual for me in late August. Normally, we are slowing life wayyy down and gearing up for school to begin. This summer has been unlike any other. It was so slow at the beginning and is zooming by at the end. Is this a warning of how life goes once you get into the adult world? If it is, I am surely out. Yet, there are so many good things that will come with being an adult. Actually, scratch that. Job, taxes, bills. Blehhhh. NO thank you!

This evening has been rather relaxing. The smell of the rain is so delightful. It has to be one of my favorites. I got a pretty decent lightning shot tonight. It was my first, so it wasn't all that great, but decent. I also bought a new lens for my camera!!! I found it online at Abe's of Maine, and printed the sale price out, took it to Best Buy, and the price matched it! So I got it for the cheapest price available, and didn't even have to wait for shipping. I love my new lens. The Nikon 55-200mm AF zoom nikkor. Woot woot! (I'm not usually a big fan of the whole 'woot woot' thing, but this occasion deserves all of the little dorky expressions I can think of. :-P) I didn;t realize that there would be a difference in the quality of my images, but there certianlt is. I uploaded a few up on my facebook and flickr site for you all to see.

Happy Almost Friday.

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

NO. I did not paint my shirt!

Ok, so I bought this shirt at American Eagle this past week, and thought it was cute. It's all white, with an iris on the front of it. I love it. It fits surprisingly well, but the only problem... people keep asking me if I painted the iris myself. My dad asked if I made my shirt. Hannah asked if I drew on it with markers. ITS ARTISTIC! But I didn't do it!!! I didn't draw the Eagle emblem either. Oh my gosh.... I am so annoyed! So the count down to Disney World begins... officially 6 days until we leave! As the trip ooches closer, our excitement becomes more uncontainable. I'm dying to go on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and the Tower of Terror. Because it will be two of the littles' birthdays while we are there, we'll get to go to breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie... i think. We'll also get to see our friends the Krayzels!!! I am so excited about it. It will be great fun The Official Countdown... 6 days

2.0.1.2.

When the ball dropped at midnight this year it was different. 2012. A new year, a fresh start. New Years has always been magical to me for some reason. I guess it's just the thought that maybe this year will be better than the last - it's a time for reflection and assessment. I do it without even realizing it. It's like a much needed restart after getting through the busyness of the holidays; all the visiting, shopping, cooking, preparing. For some it's exciting, for others its a yearly struggle. New Years is like pressing the fast forward button to a new chapter. Life comes to a halt suddenly, we flip the page, and keep moving. It's such a lovely feeling. Everyone talks about resolutions. "In 2012 I will [_____]." Get healthy, go to church, blog every day, write in my journal, read my Bible daily. Fill in the blank with whatever your resolution may be. But after the first two weeks burnout happens and we revert back to how we were at the end...
