Spring always brings the Cherry Trees to life, and every spring they bloom and grow
turning our city into a sea of pink petals.


Sunday morning Hopie, Sister Dearest,
... Mother and I ventured out into the crisp morning air to frolic in the the presence of these beautiful blossoms.


Leaps of joy.

Oh how lovely are you dearest blossoms!

"Family time" = fun times



Laughter was plenty and oh how pretty were the Cherry Trees.
One of the prettiest Sunday Mornings!


A g who loves Cherry trees!
{so do the other 109,123,847,234 people out that morning}

I love me some cherry trees!

The Board Room & Coporate Photography

It's taken me awhile to find the confidence to finally post this up, but yes ...
A while back I had my first "Board Room" meeting with my "big sister" Ate Gertrude, here's why.
 



The Board Room meeting we had awhile back was a meeting to jump start my involvement with her company. My Ate Gertrude works for a contracting firm that does renovations for businesses and they need a photographer to take pictures of the spaces they've renovated in use as well as provide the company's newer clients visual examples of their current work. More photos ... more freelance, Praise God.

My first shoot was back in February, and my second shoot is tomorrow. YAY!

One of those days




"What can I say? It's just one of those days."

 And Yes ... that's the beautiful Joy Williams ... who's new indie album is just my cup of tea.

An April Fool's Birthday

It was Tim's birthday yesterday ... and OH what a day it was!!!


I played with his emotions a little in lue of April Fools and I surprised him for his birthday
... again {He's soo hard to get!}

The day started out in Physics Class.

Yes, Physics class ... with Abby {Tim's sister} who helped me execute my plans to surprise Tim. Minutes later I stood outside Tim's class waiting for him to finish his exam watching as some of his classmate starting to pour out of the same room then I called him to make my move.

The conversation went a little like this:
"Hey babe, how was your exam?"
"Not to good."
"Aww that sucks. So ... I don't think I can see you today."
....... {longest pause ever, you could hear the disappointment} .........
"Why can't you come?"
"Cause I'm already here!!!"

Then before he could complete his next thought he looked up and I was standing right there two feet away. He closed his phone and walked right past me surprised/semi-disappointed but smiling at the same time. HAHAH! I got him good ... maybe too good I thought he was going to cry. But he didn't and when it finally sunk in he gave me a big ole bear hug!

The rest of the day consisted of lots of down time
just hanging out and relaxing because that's all Tim asked for.



Then before dinner Tim took me to his play practice for PCN and saw some familiar faces.

Then we went to a very chill dinner at Noodle & Company
with some of Tim's friends and his sister.



Twas a fun April Fools and a Happy Birthday for Timothy dearest.
Darling I'm so proud of you and I'm so blessed to have you in my life! You are awesome!!! Despite what you may think!!! I pray that you keep growing in Christ daily and that His blessing for you continue to overflow. Thanks for brightening up my days and for also always being there for me. {Though this is a day late ... I did manage to tell you yesterday} .. but again Happy Birthday babe!

"I appreciate you .. especially your heart"
Love, yours

Farewell ER


I remember when Thursday nights meant a girl's night at home with my mom and sister watching FRIENDS and ER. Though there are no new FRIENDS episodes to look forward to, big sister does have the entire series' DVD set. Now ER is saying goodbyes too. To be honest I haven't watched ER in awhile but here I sit next to big sister and mother to watch ER come to an end. Sad day. Does anyone else remember the night both FRIENDS and ER debuted on tv? :)

Cherry Tree



Tis the season for cherry trees! I love our cherry trees.
