February 1, 2010

it finally snowed this weekend, and while i was so excited for it all i did was run out and take some pictures of cecily playing in it! haha oh well maybe next time i will go sledding a few times! for me it was more fun to just laze around and make chili and apple pies!

so i’m getting married in 6 months to him, the one that makes my heart smile, the one that loves jesus no matter what, the one that makes me happy when i have a bad day, the one who is perfect for me, the one that rides dirt bikes, the one that loves me for me, the one that helps me fix my mistakes, the one who holds me just right, the one that calls just to tell me he loves me, the one that has my heart, the one that doesn’t take me for granted, the one that i love.

trash the dress – julie

October 21, 2009

as bobbie mentioned on her blog i took them to an awesome location, and since i was with them and i had my new camera, i snapped a few also, i downloaded them when i got home because i was so excited to see what i had, then the next day i was going to take Maggie’s pictures, well instead of using my other camera card i decided to just delete julie’s pictures off thinking oh i’ve already downloaded them it will be fine… I get home and get to looking and guess what?? they didn’t all download!!! i was sick how,  did i let this happen? so bobbie told me to take my card to Wolf Camera and they could probably get them off of it for me. so i took it today and he told me since i had already taken more pictures since deleting them that they would probably not be there. i said thanks for trying to help me and went along my way and decided in the future i would just be smarted.

a girl & her horse

October 14, 2009

My horse’s feet are as swift as rolling thunder
He carries me away from all my fears
And when the world threatens to fall asunder
His mane is there to wipe away my tears.
~Bonnie Lewis

it’s a love story
