365 Week 3... Aka Horrible Fail..

I'm doing horrible at keeping up with this. I usually end up taking like 5 in a day. I don't know why it's so difficult. But here they are at least. Day 15- "Team Work" My blender and I have become great friends. Smoothies have become a favorite healthy treat of mine. Of course I kill the poor thing with my frozen fruit... but I wouldn't have these delicious treats without it. Day 16- "Don't Worry Be Happy" I'm hard pressed to find anything that makes me happier than my big cup of coffee in "my" chair in a comfy sweater. Day 17-...

365 Week Two...and Baby Dreams...

So I've been having baby dreams lately. I think it's the California "winter". My mind thinks it's Spring, aka bunny time. I guess. I think. Anyways, it's craziness. I know I want a baby, but my mind needs to back off! We have a plan dammit! Not now, thanks. Anyways, here's week two of the 365 photo project I'm doing. I'm really sucking at doing them everyday. Grr. Day 8- "Broken"   We went away and this bowl was fine. We came back and it was like this. I think Phoebe missed us. Day 9- "Lines" Day 10- "Fluffy" Her collar gives...

Photo Project..

So, I've started a photography project I found through another blogger I follow. It's 365 days and there's a subject or prompt for each day. What I like about this one is that it's not just like "clouds" or "the sun". It requires you to be a little creative. I always start these sort of things and never finish. But I'm really trying with this one. I'll admit that sometimes I'll forget and end up doing two in one day. But, at least I'm doing it.. Without further ado, here's the first week of pictures: Day1 - "Light"   Day 2- "Tall"  Day...

Chicago...

So, while on vacation, we went on a trip to Chicago. I have lived in Illinois all of my life, but I had never been. I was so excited to finally get the chance. I don't know what I was expecting, but I thought it was just going to be amazing and wonderful... not so much. We took a 4 hour long train ride to get there (my first train ride too). I was expecting it to be absolutely freezing, but luckily it wasn't too bad. My mom who had been there a couple of times had a mission to get us to Michigan Avenue to see all of the shopping since...

The Big Christmas Post That I'm Like 2 Weeks Late On...

So... yeah. Christmas is way over.... But we just got home Monday. So there. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. I certainly did. We went home for two weeks. We haven't been home in a year so we were definitely a little excited. We had to leave our Pheobe behind, but she was well taken care of. We decided to fly home this year instead of taking the grueling 32+ hour drive there. While I was glad we weren't doing that again, I was nervous about flying considering it was my first time. But when the day actually came to fly, I...
