Photography sessions!

I have been doing photography sessions for some friends and family.

I am now advertising this for others who are interested!

Price is $60/session based on the fact that I am an amateur and need this experience, but also for my time and gas.

I'm open to taking pictures of events, animals, kids, families, maternity, engagement, or anything else you can throw my way!

Happy Mother's Day!

Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

This verse describes my ma exactly! She has homeschooled us 5 kids for 20 yrs. She did not let the world teach us but daily taught us in our own home. She encouraged us in our Godly friends and kept us from those that would influence us badly. My mom taught me not to gossip or to talk bad about my family to others. I have never seen my mom speak anything negative to others about my Dad. She is always willing to make dinner and always wants the family to be happy and wholesome. She is always thinking of new activities for the family today to spend time together. Although mom passed on her worrying to me, I also can see how much she trusts God and doesn't let her worrying show because she gives it to God. She is my biggest example and I appreciate the characteristics that she brought out in me through my childhood. I can't imagine the day when I don't get to be around her each day and I know I will be calling her very often if ever I have to be apart from her! I love you mom!

Lazy Saturday

After working all week there's few things better than not having to wake up to an alarm and getting to sleep in a bit. Woke up not feeling too swell though but did get a run in with Ma. Our neighborhood is having a community yard sale today. They do all the advertising and you just set up and enjoy. I saw some things along the run that I wouldn't mind having but then I have to ask myself do I really NEED this, the answer is no I do not need the picture frames, backpacking pack, OR bookcase that I found out later was a wine cabinet. Definitely don't need that! lol My room looks like a hurricane, no no, a tsunami went through it. I will be taking care of that little situation here in a bit and then Dad gets home from his business trip that took him out of town for a couple days. 

I thoroughly enjoyed our college and career activity last night. We had a picture scavenger hunt. It's always fun taking pictures of random strangers in the mall :) It's also amazing how scared you can be in a dark church playing hide and seek when you KNOW there's nothing there that will scare you lol

Thinking more and more on going to West Coast and what it will be like. Still expecting just to be there a year but in every aspect of this decision I have to literally trust God that He will work this out. That's why it's great because I know if He wants me to go, everything will fall into place, I'll have the finances for it, my attitude will be where it needs to be for a drastic life style change and my faith and love for Him will grow even more. I often have to stop worrying and thinking and just realize God sees the bigger picture, ALWAYS! 

Should be finalizing my application for the fall semester this week. Missing my best friend and looking forward to Mother's Day tomorrow!

 

Geo caching!

I up and decided to go found another geo cache around my house. I found one about a year ago near our fire station and I know there's quite a few others around. www.geocaching.com has a listing of all of them in your area. So I found dad's gps and headed out. I parked at the gait where the trail started and took my bike the rest of the way. Needless to say 2 hrs later I finally found it! Not only did I find the geo cache but also a couple abandoned freight cars that looked like little shack homes. Kinda creepy! I only had to break out the first aid kit once :) A rock just jumped RIGHT out into the trail and attacked my leg, viscous little bugger. No, actually it was a result of there being too much sand on a trail while riding a bike, combined with desert rocks and cactus! I was in an area within 10 miles of our house but even closer to the Mexican border; therefore I brought my little taser, you never know! Once you find the geo cache it's filled with items/trinkets people have placed in the container and a notebook to sign in that you were there. If you put something in you can take something out. I put in one of my South African coins and took out an army man :)

Watch this if your curious about joining in on the fun!

Starting out!

The creepy train houses

Inside one of the shacks. That container is a trash can and someone wrote on the board next to it "Time bandit 6:00"

My wound - it's not nearly as bad as it looks

The geocache is inside this tank! I had to lean into that opening and reach down to get it

Mexico is this way

It's a blogging kind of Sunday

Today was our church's 53rd anniversary. I've hardly been there a year but I love it and definitely will make it my home church for as long as possible! We had lunch on the grounds, baptist potluck style. This week is also the King James Bible 400th anniversary. I remember in school as a kid I loved reading the stories of those who worked hard and even gave their lives to keep getting the Bible in the hands of the lost. It is the inspired and preserved word of God. We had a great day on the church bus today as well! Started an incentive poster board where the kids can earn points and at the end of May whoever has the most will get the graaannnnd prize....which is yet to be determined. What do I get a 7-12yr old kid!? Lauren has been amazing and starting forms for the kids to fill out about themselves, birthdays, favorite items, ect. We will put them all in a binder with their picture so we can get to know them individually and be able to celebrate their birthdays. I love seeing the kids get excited about singing songs and playing games. Need to keep browsing for more ideas for songs, games, activities, and ways to keep them wanting to come and bring friends! We have no evening service tonight and it's a beautiful day. Therefore, a hike or some sort of outdoor activity  must take place! I know if I lay down and read then I'll be doomed to take a nap, I won't be able to get up! I applied for West Coast Baptist College on Saturday. I still am getting the various forms sent in and then it'll be official. Now just taking large donations to be able to get there this fall :) I can not wait for next weekend already to be able to go out on visitation and church on Sunday. My days revolve around the times I get to go to church and see him working and changing my life! At West coast I will get to see that everyday!!

Francisco- today was the first day he actually got out of his bubble and talked to me :)

Aaliaya - very sweet and calm!
