Fun work

-
The past two wednesdays are the first wednesday since our wedding two aprils ago that i have missed. The winter wonderland storm shut down Texas for a week and then came back for one last closing...wednesday. Before that i snapped some fun pics at work...working with youth keeps you young and fun...or so it seems :) Who could ask for a better job, after a decade of being here in texas and working with NorthWood i can't think of one...well maybe a stay at home mom! Praying that day is soon! Until then enjoy these pictures and stories!


Jill was one of the first girls i connected with when i first arrived at NorthWood, she was in 8th grade. I co taught her group of girls and she held a special place in my heart instantly! She is funny and so energetic, you liked being around her, and she put up with my cheesy mom jokes! She mentioned just yesterday that we have been through many changes in life and remained close. A fresh graduate of Baylor now she works with us at NorthWood!


We share an office and this is her pink desk! :)  It's been so awesome to work with her and see how God has molded her into the Godly woman He has designed especially called Christina Jill Roberts! 

Sorry i took these on the day after getting my fisheye lens and i was obsessed :)

I love working with Students. Love it! Have you really been in Texas for ten years? That's crazy to me. It seems like not that long ago we were all in Farmville.

Engagment pictures

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
