A challenge for myself

 

I've noticed ever since downloading instagram on my phone that I use it a lot.

Way more than my digital camera, which is sad because really, I do love my digital camera.

And I believe I take better pictures with it as well. 

So, I'm challenging myself to use my canon more and my phone less. 

I'll still use it of course because it is fun and easier, 

but I don't want that to be an excuse to not use my canon.  

I love my instagram photos, but the photos taken with my camera seem much more meaningful. 

Plus I've missed the feel of it in my hands. 

Do you have this problem? 

More passion

One of my favorite things to do is use my camera. Its become a real passion of mine since having our little boy and an even bigger passion since getting my canon. I love it. A perfect day to me, would be grabbing my camera and just heading out to take pictures ALL day. I'd love to also have my own photography business someday. I dream about that a lot and pinterest has definitely inspired me with all the photos that have been pinned! I need a lot more experience, which is why I think its important for me to use the camera everyday, even if I am just snapping one photo! That's why I decided to do  this challenge.  I will be doing a lot of challenges  like that one - there are so many out there, which is great! I  hope to get my creative juices flowing. Fridays will be the days when I post pictures I've taken throughout the week. Here are some:

Day 1: A photo of yourself. 

(I like this angle) 

Day 2: A photo of what you wore today.

Day 3: A photo of your favorite place to be.

(Outside in the sun)

Day 4: A photo at a high angle 

(on a chair...as high as I could get)

There will be a lot more photos next Friday!

I'll try to not make them all of my baby, but I can't promise that you won't be seeing his face a lot! 

=)

Hope your week starts off with a bang!

I am so glad its here!

I dream of...

Being a photographer.
I love having a camera in my hand to capture moments, 

whether they be big or small. 

I would love, someday, to have my own photography business.

I know I have a lot to learn.

I need to use my camera a lot more,

so I am going to start doing this.

I meant to start August 1st, but that day got away from me.

Today is the day, I will start!
I plan on posting photos once a week! 

Want to join in? 

A challenge to myself.

Life is full of...

ups and downs,

success and failures,

joy and sadness,

aches and pains,

and so much more.

Life is full of so much. Its full of relationships whether they be relationships with

friends, family, acquaintances and sometimes a lot of the time relationships aren't simple, but rather difficult.

Relationships are full of...

ups and downs,

success and failures,

joy and sadness,

aches and pains, 

and so much more. 

Its one of the things I'm realizing about marriage. If anyone ever tells you that marriage is grand all the time or that its perfect, they are lying to you. I don't want to be one of those lying people, so here, I am telling you, that its hard. Since I started college, I've been making my own choices, mostly. I decided when to get out of bed, what I'd eat, who I'd hang out with, and where I would go. I know that some of these things may seem silly, but when you're used to deciding these things for yourself (and only for yourself) and you no longer have just you to decide for, its frustrating. Then you add parenting on top of it and that makes it even more difficult at times. 

Is it hard all the time? No? Sometimes its soooo good. 

Its nice knowing deep within your heart that God has placed you two together for a reason. Its a beautiful thing to have someone in your life that you know will always be by your side no matter what. 

Its great to wake up in the morning and have someone there. Its amazing to have someone to lean on and support you and vice versa. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but just like any commitment, it takes a lot of work and even more love. Its the same with parenting.

::Isn't my baby so little here? ;(:: 

I think its all about ones attitude and again, I won't lie, my attitude has been horrible lately. 

I've been moody and nagged a lot. I've let little, silly things get to me, and I've made a bigger deal out of things than I should have. Not to mention I haven't been the best at communicating things. So, heres my challenge to myself, for the week.... BE NICE TO MY HUSBAND, LOVE MY HUSBAND.

I love him with all my heart.

He is who God has given me.

A hard worker.

Dedicated.

Passionate.

Loving.

Honest.

So much more than what I imagined for myself.
