random, random, random

I feel like all I have been doing lately is link-ups.  This is the last one for a while!  The rest of the week will be normal, longer posts with more words because I feel like writing!  :)

Anyway, I am really stretching it for Happy Monday.  The theme was flowers, and there are flowers there, but, it's different!

i heart faces - soft & sweet

This is my entry for I Heart Faces photo challenge.  This week's theme is Soft & Sweet! 

link ups!

I'm entering these two photos in two different challenges.  Have a great weeked everyone!

awkward and awesome thursday

awkward:

- This.  This my dear friends, is the lovely shoe I have been wearing for the last week.  I broke and dislocated my toe.  How?  It's going to amaze you....  It was dramatic...  I kicked a table.  I know right?  Totally awesome!  No?!  Nope.  It's a pretty lame story...  A little girl asked me yesterday at church if it was mismatched shoe night.  Um...no.  No...it's not.

- Having two and a half weeks of History homework to do.  Not good.

- My mom's garden.  Seriously, there is a stream running through it.

- Typing words wrong and then sending an email.  I hate when I do that. 

- Feeling like school will never end even though there are only a few weeks left.  (Not sure if that's awkward.  I'm pretty sure that's called normal.)

- My dogs.  We shaved them for the summer and they look ridiculous.  Never underestimate the skill of a professional groomer.  I will not post pictures.  You might not read my blog ever again if you see them!  (Unless you really want to see it...)

awesome:

- This picture:

The fact that I was able to jump, not get my camera wet, and take the picture is pretty epic for me.  :)

- That I am learning a ton about shooting manually right now.

- I'm signed up for a photography class this summer!  I'm so excited!

- That I almost have 100 followers!  (p.s. Just thought you'd like to know there is going to be a giveaway with some awesome stuff!  If you would like to sponser, please email me.)

- This blog post.  I really like doing this awesome & awkward thing.  I might do it again!  :)

you might have noticed...

You might have noticed that my blog was closed overnight.  Why?  Well, I was making a new design, and I absolutely love this one!  Megan, I have to thank you for your wonderful tutorials!  They help me so much!  :)  So, I think this design will stay up for a while.  I might work on it every once in a while, but for now, it is here to stay!  :)  Hope you like it!
