work and life

-
So i work at a church in Texas...totally luv my job if you can call it a job...as a youth minister it gets kind of blurry at times...b/c our focus is teens, their culture and what they need...so keeping up with pop culture, hanging out with students, going to their sporting events and theatrical shows and sharing Christ with them is FUN!!! i fell so lucky you know...and like today we went to lunch at one of the high schools and memories just flood back man...i mean i have been out for like 9 years and i can remember the fun we used to have....skipping study hall to hang out in the bathroom with your best friends..sleeping thru government...wondering how physics is really going to be used in your life in the future and thinking how silly all this nonsense is...b/c nonsense it really is....then college is just a big place to grow up but no one does and when you hit "the real world" it doesn't exist...the real world is what is happening in your life whether it is normal, strange or psyco...its yours and its real...what is real we all exist...we all desire something...some understand that something and share it with others...some have no clue and think those who do are crazy...but when it is all said and done will be the only time we can tell...so do you choose to live with the void or fill it with what it was created for? the choice is yours...what will it be...
so everyone grap your ethnies and a hoodie and we will take this world on!! :)

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
