My life has been busy recently.
Not too crazy. But busy nonetheless.
My sister, Samantha, celebrated her birthday last week on the same day my parents celebrated their wedding anniversary. My brother, Joshua, opened all of his birthday presents yesterday because we will be out west for his birthday.
Love you, birthday kiddoes!

What Six Years Can Do
Yesterday was a good day. Weird sometimes. Surreal sometimes. But, overall, very good.
There is a family that my family has been friends with for over ten years. Yesterday their oldest son celebrated his completion of highschool AND college! We travelled to his open house and were able to see people that I haven't seen in a long time. Most people reaction with wide-eyed smiles, "I didn't know you were going to be here!". Honestly, most of what I heard was, "You are so TALL!" Yes, I did grow in the last six years and I was also wearing heels (5'9'' without heels is pretty tall when the extra inches of your shoes put you close to 6' and the average hight of all the other young women around your age is 5'4''-5'5'').

Happy Mother's Day!!!
Wow... I love you, Mom! You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You inspire me. Your laughter, words, and simple presence lighten a room. Your creativity, enthusiasm, and encouragement are incredible. The list of things I love about you is SO long... Your beautiful singing voice. Your creative drawings on note paper. Your crazy spontaneity. Your bright, gorgeous blue eyes. Your delicious cooking. Your tender nature. Your listening ear. Your heart that treasures your children, adores your husband, and is wholly devoted to your Savior.
As I said: Wow... I love you, Mom!
Happy Mother's Day!

Walk with My Sisters
I love cameras. I love taking pictures. I love trying, failing, and trying again to capture the essence and beauty of the life around me. And when I'm able to capture the beauty of a day, of a person, with a click of a camera... my joy mounts to a level only another photographer can understand. :-)
Yesterday was a beautiful day. Chilly later on, but beautiful. My sisters, Dad, and I had lunch together at our town's Senior Center. I want to be like the elderly people that come there when I'm ninety! They are amazing. One man, Raymond, is ninety-eight and still can get cocky while playing cards with the other seniors. The comedy between these people is amazing too. One conversation between two of them, Bettie and Russel (both probably in their late seventies/early eighties) went like this:
