life.

i don't like it when someone implies that i wouldn't be a good candidate for a position that i know i would be the perfect candidate for.

it's a little annoying to have loud roofers working right above your office all day long.

why should you ever close off options for life/career/etc.? i shouldn't have to say with 100% certainty i will (or won't) be somewhere. i don't know where i'll be yet. it's the future. i don't know the future.

i love spending time with my mama. it's great to have my sis around too, but sometimes you just need "mama and me" time.

i am convinced that i have the sweetest, most wonderfully thoughtful and loving husband in the world!

my life is just beginning, which is pretty exciting. there are so many things to look forward to and experience.

i enjoy facebook catch up time when i get home from work.

i like not having to wash my hair everyday. it makes me happy.

leaving work at work is a great feeling. i'm pretty sure that's how it was intended to be when work started existing.

i love the fact that God is transforming my mind. (romans 12:2a)

i like to believe that i've got options.

we're going to sell our house within the next 6 months. i can feel it in my bones.

life can be blah, but it's mostly grand.

don't hate the camera...

Can you guess where we were??

Today took me to the Martin P.D. center near Hillsboro Village. This meant two really fun things...1-walking to lunch because it was nice out...and 2-lunch out! Well, 3 things were cool about this...some of my favorite work friends were there also!

I just had to bring my baby along (my camera if you're confused). However, the subjects of my shooting were not excited about this. Here's a few pictures from the day. I needed a fix! And I needed to practice and keep transferring that new knowledge to my long-term memory! Thanks for being such good sports you guys!

Crossing the road and being annoyed by me...lol!

 

 

Okay...now I'm just showing off my new skills!

i went to shoot CAMP last weekend, thanks to my awesome husband! i learned so many amazing things...i don't even know where to start. i can now shoot in FULL MANUAL, which is pretty incredible! here are a few shots i grabbed during our "practice" session that afternoon. i've also included a few of miss cutie pie, maddie grace.
