Day 131/365: As your mother, I will ALWAYS love you. I will ALWAYS be there for you. I will hold you as you cry and jump for joy as you succeed. I will be there with failures and triumphs alike. I will never be too tired to listen or watch. I am doing my best to capture all I can via my camera so I can help tell your stories. There is a story behind everything. Some may be easy to tell and others will be difficult or even heartbreaking. Details may be forgotten... Days will blur by... All I can hope to do as your mommy is help teach you to live one day at a time, enjoy the small things because those actually end up being the biggest things. Take nothing for granted. Get things off your chest and move on. Forgive and love. I pray that you will live a healthy life and that God blesses you with health. And ALWAYS remember - these arms will always be there for you. No matter what!

Day 129/365: This is my husband's creation (I kind of explained what I was hoping for). We have a half of a wall here as it's up against our stairwell and I was hoping to utilize the space fully for our entertainment needs. We also didn't want to spend a lot of money. He was beyond skillful and ingenious with this creation and it cost us a fraction of what a store bought piece of furniture would have. With some inexpensive blocks, some nice wood, and stain - this project was done in a day and it displays all the fun stuff we have. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and haven't paid a day of cable (hence all the movies), we do have a Wii that we let our kids play for only an hour a day, then I have all my scrapbooks displayed so anyone who comes to visit can pull out a book to look at. I am very proud of my husband and all the skills and ideas he has!
I trust my husband to lead his family with all the strength that he was made to. I trust him to take care of his family (with me helping every step of the way), to provide for us, and to protect us. I trust him to love me until death parts us. The vows we took are extremely important to both of us and we know that trust is something you have to give just as much as you take.
Day 127/365: Definition of poise: 1. a state of balance or equilibrium, as from equality or equal distribution of weight. 2. A dignified, self-confident manner or bearing; composure; self-possession: to show poise in company. 3. Steadiness; stability: intellectual poise. 4. Suspense or wavering, as between rest and motion or two phases of motion: the poise of the tides. 5. The way of being poised, held, or carried. I had a tiring day, so tonight as my husband and I were visiting on the back deck after the munchkins went to bed, I was enjoying a glass of wine and he was having his beer - I realized that this was as close to poise as I was going to get today. I have always thought those who have knowledge of wine are very poised. I cannot say that I include myself in that category - but I do love a good glass of wine on occasion! :)
Day 125/365: This is far from a great photo - but this is my everyday today. I am having some struggles with my career. While washing my hands today I had the hot water on too high and burned my hands a bit. Then I stepped back and shut off the faucet. I feel stuck. I feel like I have been in hot water. Not in the sense that I am in any sort of trouble - in fact, I'm very successful in my job and I do very well in my position. Unfortunately, that success has been to my disadvantage because my supervisors are piling on more work. I feel stuck because I have SO many benefits where I work that I don't think it would be wise for me to look elsewhere. After I left some meetings today, I had a lot of time to think and reflect. It came down to the fact that I know how blessed I am to have the job that I do. I am blessed because I can work and I am able to see, think, hear, and touch to do my job. I get to choose my own schedule. I get to work from the comfort of my home. I also know how snotty this may sound... I sure don't want to come across that way - I'm just having a down sort of day regarding all things work. Oh, if only I could win the lottery and take pictures all day long!
Day 123/365: My eyes play tricks. When my husband and I started dating - I was quizzing him on the phone and I jokingly asked him to tell me what color my eyes are. (This was in reference to seeing how well he paid attention). Anyway, his response was, "When?" That threw me but he made me aware that my eyes change colors. I have grey eyes some days, hazel eyes other days, and green eyes on the between days. It sometimes depends on my moods, my clothes, or how bright or dull it is outside. So, he passed the test, he can't tell me what color my eyes are because they are always changing. |

I have taken on a challenge to take one photo a day for this entire year. I have been excited to join up with an amazing community of talented photographers who have also taken on this challenge. The goals I have for myself this year is to, first of all, complete the whole year of 365 photos. I also want to allow this challenge to teach me all I can about the equipment I have in order to better myself as a photographer. I am excited to learn and experience so much this year through this challenge. Thank you for taking the time to look through my journey. It truly means a lot to me. Archives
