September Photo Challenge Week 3 & 4

So I'm 1 and 2 weeks behind, but I finished the photo challenge assignments!

Obviously a trip to the orchard help push me over the finish line.

I feel like I learned so much in such a short period of time.

I'm so thankful for Katie challenging me to just pick up my camera and start shooting.

No more automatic for this girl.

 Sunday-Thursday I tend to live out of the front seat of my car. This day was exceptionally bad as I was gathering items to send to my sister for a running care package.

Week 3:

 Love this man.

Week 4:

Yum.

My beautiful friend, Monica. She's learning her DSLR too and doesn't mind all my photo snapping at awkward times. 

Until next time...

September Photo Challenge Week 2

Yahoo! I DID IT! I followed through on a post commitment. Maybe, just maybe, all is not lost.

Over the weekend, I traveled to Cincinnati to witness my friend, Michael, marry his beautiful bride. Michael and I have been friends since middle school and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of their special day. 



So. That's all folks. 

Until next week...


 

September Photo Challenge

Testing 1...2...3.

Is this thing still on? 

Yes..of course. It is. Good.

I've been here... lurking the blogosphere. 

Dreaming of becoming a better writer, more creative, or halfway witty overnight. 

Mad props to my college roomie, Katie at Tomorrow, With a Smile, for peer pressuring me to join in and link up with her September Photo Challenge. I'm super excited to give it a shot. 

These are pictures from my "now." I love cool evenings spent outside with D and Tozer. 

My pup.

 

Fighting for the frisbee.




The quality is terrible. I know. But check out Tozer's height!

Walk around the block. 

So.  Week 1. Done.

Here's to week 2 and hoping I improve, or at least understand all the letters on my camera.
Thank goodness practice makes perfect. 



 

When blog posts fail me

So. I was super pumped a couple weeks ago about blogging. I even scheduled posts! And then, POOF! Posts were blank. Hard work out the window. Any ideas as to what happen (besides the likely human error of failure to save)?

So now? I'm in a 15 passenger van in my way to the Smokey Mountains to spend the weekend with some of my favorite high school upperclassman for their Jr/Sr Trip.

have a great weekend!

P.S. On this day, 8 years ago, husband and I "DTR'd" that we were dating. DTR=Define the Relationship. Anywho, it's been a crazy 8 years, but I can't imagine anyone else I'd rather have as my other half. Literally, sometimes he feels like he's my right hand.

Happy Friday!

We plan to spend the weekend eating sushi, crafting, running, and chaperoning the local high school's prom. (I know you are jealous of that last one)

Our Perfect Vacation: Part 1

We recently set sail on our first cruise. We ventured out on H.olland A.merican L.ine's E.urodam to the Eastern Carribean.

It. Was. Perfect.

Let me just cheese for a minute.

I feel even more in love with my husband during our travels.

 It felt as if we were newly dating.

Gag.

I love my job, but...

Having time off work these last couple of weeks has been so, so good

I'm going to miss the late nights and lazy mornings with these guys until next Christmas.

 The upside to getting back into the swing of things?

The Bach is back.
