This past weekend I drove to Northern Virginia to attend the wedding of a family friend. The ceremony was beautiful (albeit very hot, it was an outdoor wedding and the temp was 103 degrees) and the reception was a good time. I always enjoy a wedding, but my favorite part about the weekend trip was…
Challenge: Today! This week’s theme is a bit different (but you like that, don’t you?) – it’s about TODAY. This day. The day you’re reading and reacting to this post. Get your camera out, right now, and snap a picture to share with everyone! Sometimes I have a hard time getting through the day without a…
Court, is the light bulb in the dining room out or is the light broken? The light bulb is out, it has been for a few days now. So you’re just waiting for me to fix it? Yes. Just so I’m clear on my duties for the rest of our lives, it is my job…
It’s easy to take our spouses for granted. When he has left the toilet seat up again or she ate crackers in bed and left a nice layer of crumbs across the Egyptian cotton sheets (guilty), we can be quick to snap. It’s easy to forget how many men and women would welcome and even laugh at…
Challenge: Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? This is a photograph that I took for my friends, Kim and Brandon. I love a good sunburst shot, and I wanted this one to emphasize the baby she was carrying. I like how…
I’m noticing a trend in my Monday’s lately: I develop or at least become aware of certain pet-peeves that I posses. I have a lot of pet-peeves. I’ve made a list before and it seems to only be growing as I spend more and more time in the work world. Monday’s have a way of turning…
Okay so the weekly photo challenge was posted last Friday, I’m a bit late. It was a busy weekend full of family, food, exercise, and relaxation. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Here is a picture from my recent beach trip that says “journey” to me. It just so happens to be four of…
This weekend has been absolutely amazing so far. My mom came to town to visit and as I write this she is passed out next to me in bed. I could not be happier. What a day it has been! It started with wedding dress shopping at 10:30 this morning- all I can say is…
Today is my 25th birthday, woohoo! Being the pessimist realist that I am, every single morning that I open my eyes I say a quick “thanks for letting me see another day, God!” Every single birthday I celebrate, I am elated to have spent another wonderful year on this earth. After all, it was 2…
At 6:30 this morning I pulled into the parking garage of one of the best hospitals in the Piedmont Triad. I walked past the helipad and into the eerily quiet surgical wing. I sat in the waiting room and tried to avoid eye contact with the other “waiters”; I was scared of what I would…
