Things I am Most Thankful For

I am very grateful to have crossed paths with someone I meet this summer. They helped me to rediscover myself and dreams and feelings I had long put aside or had forgotten. They were truly who I was meant to meet when I met them - I'll always be grateful and have a soft spot in my heart for them.

I am thankful for my family and friends - my life has and is going through a lot of transistion and they are there to keep me strong. They send me things in the mail to let me know they are thinking of me. They email me small jokes and they just keep me bolsterd up. They listen to me talk on for hours (anyone who knows me knows that I can too!). I am grateful to have them in my life and to be loved by them all.

I am also thankful for the small joys in life - the way the sun lights up the hillside of fall leaves to make it look on fire. The peace of walking through the woods and watching and listening to the nature that crosses my path. For the way that my dogs just love me - I am thankful.

Killer Christmas Card

I'm so excited that my friend Lisa decided to go with this holiday card. It's a first for me - a 5x5 trifold card.

Here's the front

And now for the inside



I love it - tell me what you think.



ps - I didn't show the back of the front - it's the solid red color shown through out the card

New Zealand Here I Come!

I'm so excited! On Christmas day I am go to New Zealand for 3 weeks! I'll be photographing my sister Elise's wedding and catching up with friends. The really neat part about this all (and a little scary - where did the time go?) is that this is also the 20th anniversery of the first time I went to NZ. I was a bright eyed 16 year old looking for adventure! I still think I'm 16 and looking for adventure - just not sure I'm as able to keep going like I use to... So excited to see everyone and meet my niece and nephews - along with my best friend Alan's boys! I'll be busy!

Mea Culpa!

Sorry so Sorry - I've gotten so far behind. I apologize to all who check in regularly. I promise to try and do better! So here's to not looking back and a fresh start!
