..ello, eleven

Two-thousand and eleven.
I've come a long way.. and a lot has happened.
Nothing so horrible I couldn't surmount it, yet nothing quite so perfect that is has done me in yet :)
Life is just how i like it: good and real.
The people in my life are true and dependable without being stuffy and boring (in the least)
and my random choices still lead me down strange paths before connecting back to the original highway.
life is still keeping me on my toes..



..Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps testing me..

books & coffee. boots & cats.

Long time, no post :)

Just thought I'd show the old blog a little love. It's been old faithful for long enough to merit a post every now and then.
Life in NC isn't exaaaactly what I expected when I made the decision to move back in with the family. To be fair, every place has it's good and bad, positive and negative. I'll leave it at that and let you all draw your own conclusions.
I like church at FCF. I teach Sunday School- 5th & 6th graders at the 9 am service. I don't necessarily enjoy the 6:45 wake up calls on Sunday mornings, but it's worth it. It's been years since I really helped out at church and I sorta forgot how nice it felt. Although I'm thinking that after this quarter is up, I'm proooobably going to just sing in the choir :)

Genius runs in the family..

So! My little sister is pretty much a tech wizard!
I wanted a full fledged photography site. So I looked into it and with the domain and
monthly upkeep and paying someone to design it.. Well, it just wasn't going to happen
right now. haha. So I decided to revamp my blog. But with my limited knowledge of
html and such.. Well, that just wasn't going to happen either. UNTIL I handed over my
laptop to my 14 year old sister. She and I bounced ideas around for hours and she gave me
the most fabulous looking blog I could have asked for :)
So, check out the genius designs of my baby sis-

A few more of Mr & Mrs. Adams~

A few more from the wedding..
The little details and a few random moments :)

Joey & Mikaela are married!

Just a few of this gorgeous wedding! You couldn't help but feel the love between these two, it was beautiful!

next year, baby..

It's 2010!
Crazy.. Just 11 years ago I thought we'd be riding around in space cars or living in bubble houses by now.
I certainly wouldn't have thought I'd be where I am now, not to mention where I've been. 
But that's life and I wouldn't change one thing about it :)

So.. I could fib and say I have stack of resolutions. 
But I don't.
I just plan on living and breathing and praying.

It's worked pretty well up til now & I have a feeling things are just gonna get better.

My grandma's advice? "Don't worry about anything and pray about everything."



Thanks to my family and the best friends ever for making 2009 interesting and fresh.

and..


Thank you, Lord for giving me the most amazing.. everything :)

Fall..

It's fall time!! The weather is perfect! Well, in between the spurts of rain and the thick air that follows. It's the south, gotta love it!
I took some pictures for the CA 2010 year book yesterday and this is one of my favorite candid shots. I love the colors of the leaves and the cable knit sweater Aiden was wearing was perfect for the whole fall-ish setting! The whole day was a ton of fun and he's one funny little guy!!



I've got 26 more days as a free and independent person.
Then it's off to another phase in my life.
Once again, I'm leaving.
Story of my life!
But God knows what He's doing so I try not to question =)

..man, there's so many times
I don't know what I’m doing.
like I don't know now.

Courtney & Daniel got married!

Took me a little while but I'm finally posting a few from Courtney and Daniel's wedding! It was beautiful and so in tune with the love these two share! They've been together for quite some time and there's a beautiful future in store for them!!

Turner

This is the Turner I know!

The sky was perfect that day!!






So, Sunday after lunch, I was leaving Loca Luna and noticed how much I liked the alley behind it. I called Courtney and asked if she would want to come take some pictures and she agreed! So here are the results of our random afternoon fun!

Lisa & Tanner are married! [preview]

I can't believe Lisa is married! It was a beautiful, fun and very sweet wedding and I'm so glad I got to experience it with them! More are coming!
