Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest! This is my first adult entry. I guess because I never feel very confident that I have anything good enough. I had lots of cool black and whites from this recent maternity session, but they were all faceless! Didn’t figure that would fly to well with I ♥ Faces contest. 🙂

Original Here are my “fixed” versions. I wasn’t thrilled with either of these. When I have more time I may come back and play with this one some more.

The title is written with such sadness, but at the same time I feel a comforting warmth over me… My Grandmother has been in and out of the hospital for a couple months now. Every time I talk to her lately she makes it sound like she knows the end is near. You know you hear of people who say there’s not much time left, but I’ve never really stopped to think about that person. I think about Grandmother and picture her sitting in a hospital room. I found myself trying to put myself in her shoes. How would it…

Over on this awesome site, they do Fix it Friday, where this original picture is straight out of the camera and needs a little help. I messed around and tried several different things including some different actions. I’ve been indecisive about posting this photography here or on my photog biz site. Guess I’ll just stick with it here. =) Original – “Redheaded Beauty” #1 Nothing Extreme – This one I hand corrected without any actions. #2-9 Are all done with actions. Just playing around really. 🙂 #2 Muted Fashion #3 Muted Fashion – edited and cropped #4 Troy #5 GlamBlur…
I found a very cool site, which caused me to have a blast from the past because while looking at this awesome new site, I saw this: Anyway, when I saw this, my mind went retro and I just started thinking of all the things that I used to love to play with. Although some seem a bit obscure, they were still toys that I spent hours and hours with. So the picture above lead me to think of the Spirograph Toy. It seems they have a modernized one: I did love to draw and do artsy stuff, so this…

Rob = flu since Monday Me = flu since Thursday YUCK!
Where has the time gone? So ever since Drew had a birthday back in January, Alex started saying, “Drew is 10 and I’m almost 4.” As time escapes us, he now started deleting the “almost” part and announces to everyone that he is 4. Needless to say his birthday is a week from today. Where have the last few years gone? It seems like yesterday I was so ready to get that baby out. Thinking of ways to put myself in labor, so I could meet that little boy that was growing inside of me. And now I try to…
This recipe for Stuffed Pasta Shells is on of my absolute favorites. It does require more prep time than I prefer, but I usually make at least 2 batches and free one. Who doesn’t love freeze ahead meals? 2 bangs for your buck! Servings: 8 Prep Time: 30 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients 1 (16 oz.) package uncooked large pasta shells 1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 (15 oz.) container ricotta cheese or cottage cheese (for less fat) 1 lb. of meat (hamburger meat/Italian sausage) 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese 1 (28 oz.) jar pasta sauce (I make my…
I’m so unmotivated to get Alex to potty train. I’ve got to find some motivation some where, because he’s going to be 3 in a couple weeks. Drew was potty trained at school in a matter of days! As for Alex, he doesn’t have the structure from his teacher that Drew had, so I guess I’m forced to take on the task all by myself. I just hope that when I find the motivation that they back me up at day care. So bring it on people. What can I do to kick start this thing called potty training?
Continued from Part III. Soon after I moved to Auburn I got a job working at Auburn City Hall. I worked there from May until September, when school started. In May of the next year (1997), we decided to get married. So the frenzy of planning of a wedding was underway. We only had about 3 months to plan, since we had set a date of August 30!! Rob was working at DP Fitness, which was about to go out of business and I was a full time college student, so we didn’t have a ton of money. We were…
This is how I found Rob the other day when I came back into the room.
Continued from Part II. The first day I was in Auburn, Rob and I decided to walk to campus. We ended up over at the stadium, where it was open, because they were inside doing some cleaning. Rob talked me into going in, so we could go all the way up to the top to look out over campus. Needless to say, it was an awesome site to see. Jordan-Hare is much larger than Texas Tech’s stadium and it was a really beautiful view of campus. After coming down, as we were walking to the gate where we came in,…
Continued from Part I. So I was planning to visit Rob over spring break and I was moving to Auburn at the end of the semester. The catch was that my Grandparents, parents, and family knew nothing about this. Since they didn’t know I’d already been there once, I had to tell them that I was going there in March. I also had to wait until after I went so that I could say that I liked it there and have more to back up my plan. I went and visited over Spring Break. I had a great time, confirming…
I’ve been under a great deal of ‘work’ stress, so I haven’t been writing much. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking of things to write about. In fact, I found a great blog today, where JenMom does a beautiful job talking about her past. I had actually thought of lots of great things to write about that you don’t know about me, especially from my past. No I don’t have skeletons in my closet. It’s nothing like that. That leads me to tell you about Rob and I. I’ve only mentioned briefly to you that we met on AOL.…
