Day 31

You know how it was amazingly warm last week? Yeah. It's no longer warm. Tomorrow the high is -1. Fun.

Day 30

I have a love/hate relationship with laundry days. I love it because after 2 1/2 weeks I FINALLY have clean clothes. :) (Okay, that was probably more than you needed to know, but what is a girl without a washer supposed to do??) I hate it because I have to sit around for hours on end waiting for my laundry to be clean. 

But all is good. Because now my laundry is clean, and I have some good smellin' socks to wear! :) 

I could not think of anything to photograph. Seriously. my life isn't all that interesting, but I guess it is a challenge to photograph inanimate objects... 

This was the best picture I got ... for some reason they all turned out blurry. I don't think the lighting helped much.

Happy Sunday! :) 

Day 29

School started last week. The first week has gone well. These are all the books I have to lug to class and back. Can you believe that it cost me almost $500 dollars to buy these USED books? Well it did. Crazy.

Day 28

I love little boys. They are so fun, adventurous, curious, and cute. :) Today was even warmer than yesterday! I think it got close to 70 degrees!

Day 27- what a beautiful day.

Today, I was able to spend over two hours outside in the sunshine! Maxwell, Asher, and I decided to go on a walk (Caden was at school). That walk consisted of ending up at the park, then heading over to Caden's school where we watched ducks swim around on a pond, and then we went ice skating on some of the ice (Max loved it. So did Asher... well, he loved his nap :) Later we picked Caden up from school and played on the playground there for awhile, and then we trudged on home. It was beautiful weather here in the Springs.

Today I decided to try my hand at photographing landscape. Thankfully God made a beautiful creation, and I was able to get a decent picture even in the middle of winter :) 

Day 26

I am so upset. I left my manual (for my camera) in Ecuador! Right when I really wanted to start using it, too! I have SO much to learn about photography. I have SO much to learn about my camera. After owning it for over half a year, I still do not know much about it. Sigh, I wish I had my manual, but thank goodness for the internet :) Tonight I read something about how to take pictures of fireworks.... too bad I didn't know it a few weeks ago on New Years Eve. 

Anyway, I had no time today. I went to class that started at 8:30, and finally emerged from my jail of books and classes at 5:50. Okay, that was a little bit dramatic...but really, it was a long day. I wasn't sure if I would even manage to snap a picture for ya'll. Eventually I did. It's not great... but I like the background. 

Today, for the first time in months, I visited the Wendy's I used to work at. Apparently, there was a huge turn over after I left, and there were only about 3 people who I still knew. One of the girls working there was the girl that I trained.... and she took my order, and oh man, did I train her well ;)

Okay, I've run in to a little bit of confusion... this may be really dumb.... but if my camera says 1"... is that shutter speed? Or what is that?

Day 25

This is the little chime outside the front door.
