day one.

here we go! 

are you excited? 

because i am!

and the picture of the day...

what does this picture mean to me you ask?

well this morning i had an appointment so i didn't go to work... also why i am posting this in the middle of the day- im going at 12:30... so i got up to go to the bathroom at 7:30 and i saw a flicker. normally being the chicken i am i would have gone and woke j up, but i just stuck my head around the corner and this is what i find. oh my! yes! a burning candle. when did we light it you ask. well we had company over last night and to make the apartment seem inviting and smell nice... oh i'd say around 5:30. 

so all these facts mean that this lovely candle was burning for over 12 hours. 

(now obviously i didnt take a picture of it at 7:30. this was staged.)

okay so what this really means is that our precious Lord had His hand on us and our home and i guess all our neighbors too. He protected us and kept us safe. this is so comforting because as i mentioned above, i am a chicken and anyone who knows me knows this. i am always terrified of a robber or a fire or just something that will harm me. and my dear Savior is the only one who can protect me from that. i know! its shocking that my handsome husband cant. well, he can, but by God' strength. so again it is ultimately God. i consider myself abundantly blessed to be covered in His grace and mercy. 

so today, i live my life to honor and glorify Him for the simple fact that i woke up this morning because of Him.

oh and a treat because this is the first day...

and because i really really want to.

maybe the candle didnt get blown out because i was taking pictures... ehh.
i dont really think we should place blame, should we?


happy thursday, friends!
enjoy greys anatomy tonight!

brilliant idea

i had a brilliant idea today... as you can tell. :)

in april one of my best friends lesley ann has asked me to be her second shooter for a wedding she is photographing, which im totally beyond excited about. i started thinking about this and how i could prepare. there is alot of emotion in weddings and important things to capture, right? well i have decided until the wedding i will post a picture a day of something that is very important, meaningful, or just stuck out to me that day.  it will help me capture small things and also things that i wouldnt normally think about, and it will help me to be more grateful. it will also help all of you get to know me more and see our everyday life. 

so starting tomorrow... haha... i will post a picture. 

i hope this inspires you to come back!
