Life Update

Life has been busy. My Husband hasn't been working so we have been enjoying spending time together. We are trying to catch up on Doctor Who before the 50th Anniversary special on the 23rd. I have been crafting quite a bit and I plan to post about it soon. I started a weekly pocket page scrapbook back in July and I just started preparing my Holiday Memories album. I will be back soon with more pics, but for now please enjoy this peek at my Holiday album.

Everyday Photography

So I admit, I fell off the Project 365 band wagon. I have missed quite a few days. I can always start again at the beginning of the month, or now for that matter. In the months that I was actively participating I found the value of having a camera with me at all times and being willing to use. I have photos that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I love admiring the beauty of the world and taking the opportunity to capture it. So with that in mind I encourage all of you to seize the day! Photograph something today that you find amazing. Or photograph something, or someone you love. Watch the world with your eyes open 100% of the time and be ready to capture those little moments in your life.

Taken on my college campus this last spring.

Taken on a Sunday Afternoon walk

Taken a couple winters ago. The dogs water dish was left outside, poor girl couldn't get a drink.

Another Sunday afternoon shot of my niece.

Same Sunday. I love this one. My nephew, my hubby, and sweet dog.

Same sunday, again. I take a lot of flower shots.

This one was a semi-stormy sunrise in early spring.

An Update

School has really been kicking my butt this semester. Its my last one ever! Woot! I graduate next Friday (May 4th) and I can hardly believe my college experience is coming to an end. I am excited, but really can't believe it. After graduation I hope to have more time to post here. My goal is once a week, if not more. If you have a question of topic you would like covered here feel free to leave it in the comments. I am always open to suggestions. Today I have a few things that I would like to update you on. First, . . .

Week in the Life: I did finish my 2011 pages. I digi-scrapped them of course, but I have yet to print them. You can find all of my 2011 pages in their flickr set. I was really happy with how they turned out. You might know that the week (April 23-29) is the week that Ali Edwards has set aside for the 2012 Week in the Life project. She sure has a nack to pick busy weeks in my life. And by busy I mean full of commitments (2011) or life altering (2012). I have been taking photos and using my Oh Life journal to document this week. I will post the words and photos when I can, but it might not be for a few weeks.

Two Little Words: Focus Forward. Life really has been changing. I have a different outlook on life. Knowing that I won't have school in the fall is very reassuring. I LOVE gardening, but I haven't had time to preserve my produce because I have been in school when it all starts coming on. This year is going to be different! This year I will be able to come home from work and can a couple of loads of Tomatoes, or beans. Maybe this year I will plant pickling cucumbers and make my hubby some pickles. I know he would be thrilled.

Project 365: I have been tracking this project entirely with my phone. I am completely up to date on it too! I am so proud of that. Sometimes I miss taking a picture of a certain day with my phone, but have shot something with my camera. So I put the photo on my computer and take a phone picture of my screen! I do it this way for one reasons and that is that I am only using my phone to track this project. I choose the 365 Photo app for android, but only because the Photo 365 app isn't available for android yet. (such a minor difference in name, but huge in capability) At some point I will put all of these photos on my computer and do something with them.

I am sorry I haven't been around here much lately. I will be here more, and soon. I just need to get past finals!

Bad Blogger and "Two Little Words"

It has been over a month since I have posted. I have the philosophy that we have time for what we make time for, and over the holidays I guess I just didn't find a need to post. I was finishing up my second to last semester of my Bachelors Degree, doing Christmas prep, final semester of school prep, and throwing a bridal shower. I had quite a lot going on. I also knew that as soon as school started there was going to be a good chance I wouldn't be seeing a whole lot of my husband. We spent a lot of time hanging out just the two of us. So I am sorry there hasn't been any new content up here, but I am going to try to be better. This place helps me keep my sanity during school.

I have decided to take part in Ali Edwards' form of new years resolutions, One Little Word. I however have been unable to choose just one word. I have had two words floating around in my head for awhile and I just couldn't narrow it down. So I decided to use both words together, as if they were one. Without further ado my Two Little Words for 2012 are going to be: Focus Forward.

There is a lot changing in my life this year. Its going to be difficult to deal with. In order to cope with all of this change I will be focusing on this forward movement I will be making.

The major change for me this year will be the loss of the title "student." For the past 19 years I have been a student, but come May 4th I will loose that title. I don't think it will hit me till my husband goes back to school in the fall and I don't, but together he and I will Focus on the Forward.

Busy Times

Wow life gets busy during December. Especially when you have final projects, papers, and tests in the mix. I finally got the tree up Saturday at like 11:00pm. I was shooting for a week earlier. I actually don't even have all the ornaments on.

I am attempting to do December Daily. I haven't completed any pages, but once I do I will post them here.

I may have an additional post up this week, but for now I am just sharing the craziness and this photo. One of my favorite Christmas photos.

Thanks for joining me today.
