I Met Him This Week...

No, not the love of my life. On the contrary, I met the little devil who has been eating all of our birdseed. We've been wondering how in the world birds can eat that much that fast.

Low and behold, you vindictive beast (as I so affectionately call you), you've been caught.

Change

This week, I stand in complete awe of my amazing Lord. I've watched His hand at work in every little detail of my life and in the lives of those around me.

He's changing my priorities, and changing my heart right along with that. I'm thankful.

Graduation happens next week, and then the time normally used on school will be well spent on this "dream job" I've been so graciously given.

Currently, I'm working on the Thorpe wedding photos, preparing for a portrait shoot in the beginning of August, and figuring out the details for a shoot next week. Can I really ask for more? If you were to ask me 5 years ago what I'd be doing at 23 years old, I probably would have shrugged, and responded with a blanket statement that I've grown quite used to: "I'm not sure, but God knows."

It's a wonderful thing to be growing more confident in my indescribable God, and in how He's shaped me.

Update

Although we will be having a cake table for Kaylee C., Jessica J. and Anna H., there will not be gift boxes. We decided to simplify quite a bit.

If you have a gift or a card, you can personally give it to the girls Sunday, or at their graduation parties.

If you have any questions, you can post them on here, or email me at eternalsmile86@yahoo.com. :)

Right at Home

I've been photographing anything and everything these past few weeks... except for those things just beyond my back door. It was cold and damp this afternoon, but I was in the mood for an excursion, so I went on a walk around our 2 acres, camera in hand...















The very tired photographer... :)

Show me your pearly whites!

Mr. Chubbs is my new love... :)

Introducing Family to Family :)

Yesterday was amazing. Simply amazing! Lindsay (my absolutely awesome cousin) was in a play last night, so Adelee and I decided to take a road trip. I've been telling Adelee about this incredible group of girls for some time now... so she decided she just had to meet them. :) At the same time, the girls have heard me talk about Adelee as well as our other awesome youth girls, and they wanted to meet her!

We began the drive up around 5:30pm, and made some memories to the likes of Little Big Town along with the sound of falling rain. The rain wasn't so pleasant due to my broken wiper blades, but oh well...

The time with the girls was great, and they all clicked better than I expected! Gpa, Gma, and Mimi were all there, which was SUCH a treat, and the play was lovely. :) Afterwards, we all drove up to Steak and Shake, and enjoyed almost 2 hours of talking, laughing, and awesome get-to-know-you conversations...

By that time, it was around 1:30am, so we said our goodbyes, and "I love you"'s, exchanged numbers (Adelee and the girls), and headed home.

The drive home was such a pleasant end to the evening. Adelee and I were both exhausted, but had a great time talking... We arrived back at my house at 2am, and she was off for home.
