Christmas In Rockford

-
Jim and I went to Rockford for the annual Whittaker Christmas party. I stayed in Rockford, Illinois for a week to visit with family and friends. Everyone loved on Zalen and I loved the relaxation and catching up on news. Zalen learned to roll over during our stay in Rockford and I learned some new ways to make him giggle. Zalen has started to become a social butterfly and a little on the nosy side. I will admit he gets that from me. ha

Our Story

So, our story starts December, 2010 on a winter night. I was talking to mutual friend of ours via Skype. We caught up on news and then she brought up this guy's name..Jim. She said he was an great guy and that he holds the same beliefs as I do. I could tell she was trying to play match maker..so I just played along for fun. Unfortunately I did not set a good impression the first time I met Jim. Everyone in the world wanted to call, text, or chat online. Jim tried hard to keep the conversation going but I would have to excuse the conversation to take a phone call or text. Looking back now I realized how patient he was with me. Fortunately after that night he wanted to continue to keep in touch with me so we would Skype, text, or chat on Facebook. A few weeks of texting constantly (no exaggeration), skyping, and talking over the phone, Jim decides our friendship is ready for a new chapter and asks me as romantically as he can to be his girlfriend. I could tell Jim was a great guy

I LOVE photography! I did some photo shoots for weddings and graduation to help pay for my first year of College. I don't have any school education for taking pictures but I have years of experience. I mainly like doing landscape and portrait. The down side to me loving photography so much is that I can be picky when it comes to me having my picture taken. My husband is a professional photographer and takes school pictures. We own a simple Cannon camera but I can edit pictures I take to look a little more professional. Here are some of my pictures. Enjoy!

If tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me,  As much as I love you,  And each time that you think of me,  I know you'll miss me too;  But when tomorrow starts without me,  Please try to understand,  That an angel came and called my name,  And took me by the hand,  And said my place was ready,  In heaven far above,  And that I'd have to leave behind  All those I dearly love.
