Vacation to My Homeland

-
I went to my homeland (also known as Illinois) to visit with my family and friends and to show off my new little blessing. It was a joy to see everyone and watch them drool over Brody (My favorite part ).  A LOT happened while I was visiting there such as my sister and I got to spend time girly time together getting pampered. My best friend Abby and I went out to eat to celebrate our 30th birthday together. Evy and I planned a small Valentine's Day party for our close family and friends. Brody turned one month! And finally, Victory Baptist Church (the church I grew up in) had a 42nd anniversary celebration. I put captions under the pictures to fill you in on what's going on. Sorry some pictures may seem random but I didn't want to leave out any memories that I can look back on later.

Meet Marley, My sister's dog. He is great with kids and thinks he a lap dog. Ha!


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
 I didn't make a post for it so here you go. ;)


My Husband Jim did an excellent job picking out a Valentines gift for me this year. My two favorite things, Reeses and Tinkerbell.


I felt so beautiful in this picture so I wanted to post it. It's rare I see a picture of myself and think I look pretty in it.


My little Z-Man sleeping. I need to take more pictures like this. He looks so angelic.


This is my Grandma Whittaker's window. I love how the frost looks like trees. Isn't God an amazing artist?!






This was such a wonderful service to celebrate Victory Baptist Church's 42nd Anniversary. The special speaker was Pastor Justyn Smith. I feel so blessed to be a part of this church.

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!

Safely Home

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.
