Photography Practice :)

Recently my sister, Ashley, allowed me to help her shoot engagement pictures of an extremely sweet couple. They were great sports and I had a blast. I really enjoyed the practice. :)

More pictures of Ocean :)

Cutest boy in the world :)

Today, I got to practice photography by taking pictures of the cutest boy in the world. Lori, Savannah, Meagan, and I took Ocean to Rhodes Ferry park today and had a blast. Ocean is adorable and I am very thankful he is in our lives :)

Such a great Fall day :)

Today, I had an amazing fall afternoon in the field by my house. Courtney, Norah, and I enjoyed the perfect weather. We played all afternoon and then Courtney helped me teach children's church as always on Wednesdays. The kids were great tonight and I really enjoyed the lesson so much. It feels great when I feel I get through to them. I truly love taking time to see things through a child's perspective and think it is very important. I believe we are to trust God with faith like a child.
I may have went a little overboard with pictures on this one...

My New Home!!!! :)

Great song I felt like sharing :)

"For the First Time Again" -Jason Gray

I'm tired of the sound of my own voice
And I'm weary of adding to the noise
And I'm fearful of missing the point of it all

I remember the way it used to be
The way this love felt like the first day of spring
And I want this back more than anything in the world

It's as cold as winter in my veins
And I long to feel the summer rain
Can you take me back to where it all began?

Jesus I come, come to you again
Just like it was the first time
I came to you for new life
I need you now, as much as I did then
I need a new beginning
So Jesus I am coming
For the first time again

I'm jaded from all that I have seen
I'm bitter, but I don't want to be
I'm believing, can you help my unbelief?

Sometimes I think I know too much
But even then it's not enough
Can you take me back so I can move ahead?

Jesus I come, come to you again
Just like it was the first time
I came to you for new life
I need you now, as much as I did then
I need a new beginning
So Jesus I am coming
For the first time again

Take me deep inside the grace that forgets
Instead of down the well worn path of my regrets
I'm older than I've ever been
Can you take me back and make me new again?

Cause I need you now, as much as I did then...

My New Car

I do not have long to put much thought into this post but Ash is dying to see pictures so... A few months ago my deeply loved equinox sadly decided to bite the dust on me... Pap tried everything he could to revive her; but, despite his efforts the equi refused to come back to stable condition. This was extremely sad for me because I truly was attached. I got the equinox when I turned sixteen and had lots of great trip memories in her.
Anyway, my wonderful parents surprised me at work last night with my much anticipated new car. Its a black Chevy Malibu that Dad picked out all on his own. (He's great at that. I LOVE it!) The funny part to the story is that I was locked inside the bank for a good two hours as my brand new car sat outside the window and taunted me! I felt as if i was in prison wishing I could get outside to see it. Ha. Finally 8:30 p.m. rolled around and i got to drive it home :)
I love my new car and am VERY appreciative for it. I feel it looks grown up and classy. I think it will be a great car and I hope to keep it for a very long time.
THANK YOU PARENTS! :)
