Haven't written since September! Let's catch you up!

Most awesome thing that happened in October:

-I got to go to Game 4 of the World Series!  Here are a few pictures:

Game 4! Can't believe I got to go!

Going up the escalator with my daddy!

Goodness!

Awesome memories! :)

Most awesome thing that happened in November:

-I don't remember!  I would say Thanksgiving, but I was sick for most of it & had to work Black Friday...so let's skip ahead to December, shall we?

Most awesome thing that happened in December:

-December is the best month ever.  I absolutely love the beginning of wintertime and the holidays!  I cannot pick out one thing in particular because I'm sure I was high off the holidays every day!  Something about the season just makes me happy.  Oh, & I got to see Phil Wickham, The Reliques, Dave Barnes, & Drew/Ellie Holcomb!  

So that was how my 2010 ended!

I brought in 2011 with about 1000 other college students in Dallas.  We were all up there for SALT which is a conference hosted by Chi Alpha.  Here's a short video clip to show how the weekend went.  Basically it was a whole bunch of Jesus time, awesome worship, amazing speakers, tons of fun meeting new people, spending time with friends, and an pretty awesome New Years party!  Here ya go:

Things are definitely changing right now. For instance:

• My best friend moved to Oregon with her husband.  They are stationed there for 4 years.  Guess I'll have to invest in some plane tickets!
• My sister moves to NYC in 2 days.  More plane tickets!
• I've started my last semester of classes.  It is nice only having to go to school twice a week!  
• When my sister moves out on Monday, I will be living alone for the first time.  Bummed she is leaving, but kind of excited to have a whole apartment to myself!
• Photography has definitely slowed down.  I went from having hundreds of pictures to edit each week, to having none at all!
• I quit working at adidas. It's been nice not having a job for almost 2 months now!  However, I need to hop back onto the work-train and get myself some paychecks!

That's about all for now!  I'll leave you with the usual top 5 ;)

5 great things I've discovered recently:

-Music wise: The Temper Trap is an awesome band-check them out!

-Food wise: Eggo just came out with these fruit breakfast pizzas that are delicious!

-Friend wise: My friend Jane is really good at getting me up and out of bed on Sunday mornings! She's also an amazing cook!

-Book wise: It doesn't matter how good the book is, I will still fall asleep reading it!

-Community wise:  My downstairs neighbors are awesome.

Photography Website is a go!

Good news! I finished designing my photography website! I absolutely love it and look at it about 20 times a day...Haha!  If you haven't checked it out..Here is the website:

Hopefully all this work with the website and advertising will start paying off and I will get some customers soon!  It would be so great if I could get about 6 sessions booked per month...Then I can quit my part-time job and do my own thing! :) So if you would like to book a session, or six, let me know!




5 other random things to go with this blog:
1.Rainy day=GREAT because I didn't have to go to my classes today
2.A trip to The Coffee Pot with some good friends and a comfy couch is perfect on days like this.
3.It's going to be a 2 day week for me. That is kinda awesome! 
4.Notice I just spelled out "Rain" with the first letters of the past sentences? Clever, eh?
5.Put a little love in your heart...
Look at me quoting Pepsi commercials now! 


Okay..to all my 3 devoted readers....Have a good day ;)

Career jibber jabber :)

When people ask me what I want to do, I basically tell them I want to work with children who have cancer.  When they ask any more details I just say, "Mmm...I don't know.."  I kind of give people this whole, "I want to do a Patch Adams type thing...but not really..."   

In case you didn't know----->  Patch Adams is not Robin Williams.  Patch Adams is a doctor/clown who incorporates laughter & joy into the healing process.  He's definitely an inspiring human being.  Anyone who mixes humor & therapy is great in my book! 

Dr. Hunter Campbell "Patch" Adams

So I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I want to work in camps.  I just spent 3 hours researching cancer camps for children around the country, looking at their volunteer info/internship info, watching videos, reading about campers, virtual touring camps, taking it all in, and getting a bit emotional.  I am completely 100% sure this is what I am going to be doing and loving for the rest of my life.  I'm so stoked I had to write a blog about it :)

The people who work in these camps have so much life, hope, spirit, love in them & it will be so amazing to be included in such an amazing community.   I'm pretty sure some days will be tough, but for the most part, it will definitely be worth it.

So as of right now I'm researching a place to do my internship at.  I absolutely love Texas but it would be pretty neat to go out of state and adventure a bit!  If anything else awesome comes up, I'll be sure to grab my keyboard & post again.  :)

5 Reasons my future career is going to be wonderful:

1. I will be able to wear T-shirts & shorts to work.  Or a comfy polo!

2. I will be working with amazing, loving, caring people and I'm sure I'll meet some amazing lifelong friends.

3. I get to bring a little bit of hope and share my love and joy with kids who need that extra smile or laugh.

4. Working at a camp, there will never be a dull moment. I'll always have a story to tell!

5. My future husband will work at the camp that I intern at and it will be love at first sight...Haha!
