A real Compliment

2007-10-09T21:10:00.000-05:00

Last night in my photography class, my Teacher gave me a reall compliment he told me that he really liked some of my photos and i was very advanced for his level one class. He said that he really hoped that i continued with him and he saw promise in my future of photography! It really made me feel good to get such a compliment. These are the pictures that my teacher really liked. He is even going to publish them in his newsletter (which goes around the world)!!

Self Portrait.

2007-02-20T22:06:00.000-05:00

I know i am only updating this thing once a week, but with 2 part time jobs and being a full time student, it kind of gets away from me... so First im going to post a story about my day today... then pictures.....

Today was a really good day. I got a good nights sleep last night, woke up plenty early to get dressed up for school and wore my new pants and favorite shoes and a sweater I even found a parking spot in my favorite garage on campus (thats a very rare occurance!) I went about my day classes were interesting, I got a 100 on a quiz and even had a chance to sit down for a nice lunch. I had a meeting with my adviser and finally figured out my anticipated graduation date, all things are looking up and it, up to this point had been one of the best days i have had in a long time. As im driving home watching the rain come pooring down and the snow melt i smiled and tried to enjoy the change in weather, at least it wasn't snow! I pulled onto my street and just as i did, my phone rang... I was my roommate asking me when i would be home because MY HOUSE IS FLOODED!!!!!!!! I rushed down the street threw the car in park and ran in the front door to find an inch or so of water from the front door to back door, under my couch, my entertainment system all the way back to my kitchen... under the fridge.... everywhere!!! As my roommate and are rushing to clean it up and going outside to clean the clogged drain that is causing the water backup, im sticking my hand down in freezing water trying to get all the sticks and leafs out of the way and finally just getting the drain cover off... you know the one that is supposed to keep kids and stuff from falling down it... then im shoveling leafs and snow out of the way and Im sure you all know what happens next.... I fell down the drain! Now im sure this was quite a show for anyone that happened to be looking out their window as im waist deep in freezing water and ice trying to climb out.... I finally made it. My new pants and favorite shoes are ruined but at least my house is dry (well drying im sitting on my couch with a fan blowing it dry). So it has been quite the day... but im still in a good mood.... now im just laughing about falling down a drainige pipe. It took a flooded house for my roommate and I to get back on good terms before he moves out, so all in all i guess it was worth it. God works in mysterious ways!

So thats my crazy day! Sorry no pictures of the flood, or me falling down the pipe LOL here are some random pictures today of some important things to me....

This is a marble from my trip to Texas (6/2006) this little marble changed my life (if you want to know the story ill tell you sometime) It has been in my wallet since that day and goes everywhere with me. Just thought id post a picture of it.

This is my Partner Card, at starbucks you get these after 90 days of employment, sounds corny but I was really excited to get it this week... nice accomplishment (for those of you who know how many jobs i have had... you understand why!)

And finally... It is Fat Tuesday so ill post a picture of my Mardi Gras Beads (no I didn't flash anyone!!) Just a collection over the years....

Ok.. enough with my REALLY random blog... Have a great day and as tomorrow is
Ash Wednesday and begining the season of Lent and preparation for Easter, remember what this season is all about... God Bless!!

Fire and Ice

2007-02-13T22:13:00.002-05:00

It was cold and Icy today in Florence so i made a fire and picked up my camera to capture some of the images i saw today, i think the best part was curling up near the fire.

Critter....

2007-02-07T22:28:00.000-05:00

I love waking up and seeing little footprints in the snow... I don't know who they belong to but there is no denying i have a little critter in my back yard.

Where does the time go.....

2007-02-06T21:32:00.000-05:00

So I have been sick for a week now and besides being totally exhausted, its getting boring sitting in my room and coughing my head off. So I'm catching up on the last few days that i missed.

This first picture is from Saturday and my second trip to the DR. More Prescriptions and a shot... not sure any of it is working.

This is one of my favorite places on earth and a place i spend alot of time. This is the stained glass window in the back of my church, the old sanctuary, we dont have services in here anymore since the new building was built... but i still spend alot of time in here, Sunday was one of those days.

After church I stayed for a while for the clown service practice, we are only a month away from our first service and it is really coming along. I am very excited for this service, it has been amazing seeing what these kids can do, and seeing the differences since last year. I thank God everyday that i am apart of this group!

My Brother

2007-02-02T23:36:00.001-05:00

Today I want to share a picture of my brother, Brian. I am very proud of my brother, he is the camera man and associate producer of Kentucky Afield, a hunting and fishing show on KET. He has done some really neat stuff and I look forward to seeing his show every week. I was super proud today to read the story on the front page of the Kentucky post, about a piece that he told me he has been working on for a while. I am very excited to see it tomorrow. If you want to read the story here is the link (http://news.kypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=

I Love you Bri!!

Dr. Max

2007-02-01T20:43:00.000-05:00

This is my dog Max, he is a huge fan of snow and as you see here loved playing in it today! I didnt actually take this picture, my mom did... I was laying in bed trying to get better! When Max wasn't playing outside today he was cuddled up in bed next to me keeping me warm... he is the best Dr. in the world. Since i am writing about Max today i should mention that he will be 3 on Sunday!!

I'm off to watch Grays Anatomy and go to bed, I work at 5am! Have a good day!!!

Sick days....

2007-01-31T21:31:00.000-05:00

I hate being sick! I went to the Dr. today after a few hours of feeling like i was going to die at work... turns out i had a temperature of 103! They gave me 3 prescriptions and told me to go to bed. So thats been my day... laying in bed... sick! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
