We have a good friend who is a great photographer.
Since we moved here, we have really been enjoying
What have i been doing for the past 12 years? Well, i'll tell ya. I graduated high school in 1996...which was a very joyous moment because i did not care for my school or most of the people in it. Then i tried out community college, which i did for a few years but never did get one of those nifty degrees...but i'm doing just fine without for now. I studied art, art history, graphics and photography. I ended up really loving photography, and i continue to experiment and learn as i move along. after college...well, i hit some rough patches in my life. I wasn't really close to my family at the time, and i was making a lot of choices that lead from one miserable drama to another. all along, i was searching for purpose in my life and finding nothing but frustration.
that all came to a head around the end of 1999...i hit my rock bottom...and reluctantly went to church hoping for something...i ended up rededicating my life to God and realizing He had a plan for my life that i had been working against for a long time. Thats when my whole life changed...i soon met Josh who is now my husband of 4 years this year (June 2008). That was a little rocky...like learning to drive a 5-speed...but we got the hang of it after a few years of still doing some growing up. We married in June of 2004 and began our life together...always looking to see what God's plan is for our lives.
We are still figuring things out as we go...but for now we are called to live, love, learn, grow and navigate these waters called 'parenthood'. We gave birth to Leyona in May of 2006...and she has brought great joy to our lives. And now, we are anticipating with a new joy, our 2nd child who is due this December (16th/17th). I don't know where this road leads....or how long we will be on it...but I know who is in the driver seat and that alone gives me peace enough to feel safe and secure on this ride called 'life'.

This is my first blog. I will attempt to journal here and keep family and friends updated on the every day and week to week details of our life as a family, for those who like the small details. More to come later...
