[30 Days.]

Mike's been on tour in Europe for the last month. It was a long month, but he's back home now! While I was waiting for him to get home yesterday, I compiled all the videos that we sent back and forth to each other over that month in a video. 30 Days.

[happy easter!]

[a thought.]

For some reason, wedding photos make me cry. I'm sure that's the case for many emotional women out there, but today I was browsing some of my favorite blogs and came across a few wedding photos that had me blubbering like a baby. I think the reason this particular type of photo tugs at my heartstrings is because my own wedding day was filled with so much emotion. I was so conflicted... conflicted not about my feelings for my betrothed, but conflicted about leaving my home, my family, everything I'd ever held dear, and moving across the country to be with him. I was finding my heart and tearing it out all at once.

All these (almost eleven) years later, I can still feel those tumultuous feelings flow through me when I see a pretty girl dressed in her white gown, and a handsome guy looking at her like she hung the moon. My heart still aches for my family...for my home in the south where the sky is big and the stars are so bright. But when I see my guy look at me like I hung the moon, I know I'd do it all over again and again and again.

[snow day.]

we've been snowed in for the last two days... and what happens when we're snowed in? adventures! we've been snowboarding and sledding down our street, hot-tubbing in the snow, making snow ice cream, and building snow people. here's a sneak peek...



these are the days... yes, these are the days.

[project 365.]

i can't believe i stuck with it, but i finished my "project 365"-- a photo a day, every day for one year. i like the finished product so much, i'm thinking of printing them out and starting an album. mike and i looked through each month of photos a couple of nights ago, and it was interesting how each image brought back a memory; some of them i had forgotten, some of them i'll always remember. anyway, it's a really cool, creative way to remember your days, weeks, and months. here's my project, all crammed into one image.

what a year it was.

can't wait to see what the next one holds.
