Today I had an exam...all on our bodies "tissues" I passed with no problem ( I was freaking out) and then sat through a 3 hour lecture on our bodies "bones". This class is rough...but I truly am learning so much.

Lately, I've been intrigued by the smallest things. Like, watching birds fly..I mean, I know we see it every.single.day but really..it is incredible how they just soar around like they own the place.
And, what about the trees turning colors, how they came up with the scents of flavored lip glosses, really..the "blueberry" scent doesn't smell like a blueberry?
How horses know that getting in that big trailer means they are leaving ( it took us over an hour to get my horse in the trailer last night)
Or..have you ever thought about fish, cars, airplanes? All of these random things are constantly popping into my head. They are things we see or deal with everyday but when you stop to actually think about it I get so shocked. It really is amazing how the world functions everyday, but yet we hardly take the time to think about it.

I am now going to blow up a bunch of balloons to throw all of my house, clean, and eagerly await the arrival of the birthday boy so we can hop in the car and go pick up my mom from the airport. I am actually looking forward to the trip to MKE..just me and KJ for over an hour..together.


*Happy Monday Everyone!*

No time

I really have no time. Today is my {amazing} husbands birthday and I hardly have any time to do anything special.

Work. Homework. Classes. Exams...

That is my life.


Oh well... no matter how busy I get I can still choose to be in love with my life, and let me tell you....

It's a pretty great one.



Happy Birthday Kevin..I can't imagine my world without you.

[Mini] Vacation

This past weekend Kj, my father in law and I traveled to Kansas. The boys spent the day at a Diesel drag racing event and I had the chance to visit my sweet friend Kayla.
Her and her husband just moved and I was so excited to see the life they are starting.
Let me tell you, it was
beautiful.

God has big plans for that little family of 3 and I can't wait to watch it unfold.

Her friendship is one I cherish and even with the miles between us, I know I can always count on her.
She is truly beautiful inside and out..and I loved being able to spend some time together.
I only got the day with her and her wonderful family but I loved every minute of it. I'm only adding a few shots but we had a great weekend and it only reminded me of how much I love her.
And miss her....

Kansas storm...
The girls were almost peeing their pants.

I couldn't go without posting a picture of her adorable 7 month old son, Levi. This little guy has a piece of my heart and I have been so blessed to know him. I soaked him up while I was there and look forward to someday, visiting again.

October is soon approaching.

This year it means more then ever..Breast cancer has entered my family once again.
And it never gets easier.
My Grandma is a Breast Cancer survivor, and pretty soon my aunt will be too.
Thank you God for your love and grace that has walked with us through this time.

Before you even blink,
Breast cancer can enter your family.
It might change us, but it doesn't have to define us.

I'm glad God gave you to be my family,
I can't imagine where I would be without you.
I'm so glad I don't have too...

To all those who have suffered, our suffering, or have even lost a loved one to Breast cancer...
My heart and prayers are with you.


A big shout out to Nicole Owens for all her work.
She makes beautiful pieces and I'm honored to be wearing one of them.

Take a Walk...with me.

Take a walk with me has kind of become a tradition.
About every month I try to take a walk, and think about all of you as I take hundreds of shots all around.

I pray, think, smile and soak up as much as I can as my finger constantly snaps away. I love every moment of it.
It's one of my most favorite things in life..simply walking.
Yesterday was a beautiful fall day with the perfect breeze, gorgeous sunlight, and amazing lighting for pictures.
I was in a great mood and couldn't think of anything else I would
rather do then take my Cannon for a walk.

It was also my friend Tricia's 21st birthday party so I threw one of her in there. We did a
masquerade themed party and she looked amazing.

I hope you all got a little time this weekend to enjoy life..it really does go by so quickly and as I was walking and talking with God yesterday I realized how much of this week I've wasted by rushing around.
I probably missed so many precious moment that God blessed me with.
Yesterday He revealed some of His most amazing creation, and I'm so thankful my eyes were open to see it.

His love is so outstanding, I love being His child.

Wednesday full of Wisdom

Coffee in hand, mind is spinning, and I've already blogged once today. Mostly because I was so frustrated that I knew if I didn't start typing I might've screamed.

I'm not sitting at my parents house waiting for my clothes to wash. ( Our washer and dryer at the apartment make my clothes smell..its disgusting)

I opened my blog this morning and something went.very.bad. In fact, so bad that I lost my old layout  completely and all of the design. I'm so frustrated with messing around with the design and layout that I'm just not touching it for awhile. I simply do not have any time to invest on it right now. So, even though technology kicked my butt today..I will just be thankful with what I did recover and smile.


This week, I've failed miserably at spending time with God. It's also so frustrating.
I've been so overwhelmed with everything else that as I walk through my house in a haze I just haven't made  time to read my Bible. I'm so devestated by that news and I know God probably isn't thrilled about it either. I know He loves me, and I know how much He desperately wants to teach me.

I must start making time..for you see, His word is filled with such wonderful things.

Psalm 5:11



"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you."
His love is so overwhelming because it's so good. I'm so thankful that even when I slack off, which is sadly every day..He is always waiting for me.


I don't have much wisdom today because I've been so frustrated that I haven't taken much time to listen to my God.
So instead of making stuff up and lying to myself and to you, I'll just admit it... I've got nothing. This week, I didn't let God teach me much because I didn't take the time to listen. That very statement is heartbreaking..this week, my flesh won.

Most days I can not wait for Heaven....
today, is one of those days.

Frustrated.

Today I am frustrated.

Frustrated with my blog.
Frustrated with Technology.
Frustrated with college.
Frustrated with my messy house.
Frustrated, frustrated, frustrated.



Oh a much HAPPIER note...today I am doing something that I have wanted to do for a very long time.

I'm registering for my very first photography class. I can hardly wait..I shake with excitement. I can't wait to walk in with my camera in hand eagerly ready to learn. This is a dream for me, and I'm so thankful for the chance to learn.
