Day 5--ZUMBA!! The Exercise I Love!!

Everybody say ZUMBA!!! It's the newest and greatest dance/exercise craze to hit the circuits. I tried my first class in September of 2010 and was hooked immediately. Growing up as a dancer, naturally I am drawn to dance. It is how I used to keep in shape back then and now....well this is no different. It is full of hip swinging, booty shakin, foot stompin, hot dance action. In just 1 hour class you can burn up to 1000 calories, depending on how much effort you give and what the instructor is teaching. I loved it so much that I asked for the Wii Game for Christmas and thanks to my awesome Mommy...I got it!!! If anyone has ever thought about going to take the class, but you were too scared that you weren't coordinated enough....don't worry!! Not everyone is going to look like a pro doing it....I sure as heck didn't the first time I did it, but I had fun anyway. So go out and get your dance on!!! ZUMBA ROCKS!!!!

Day 4--COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!!

I LOVE COFFEE!!! In the morning I get up and put on a pot of coffee...well in the winter time. In the summer, I wish I had a Starbucks in my kitchen so I could get an iced Caramel Macchiato. My husband is the Chai Latte type.....yuck! I love you Daniel...heehee! I always start my morning off with the same thing. Coffee with Vanilla Caramel Creamer....that is about the only creamer that I like. I have tried different ones, but I always go back to this one.

Day 3--The Letter

So, right now my husband and I are going through our 3rd deployment. If you know anything about the military and deployments, you know that communication can sometimes be....well....crappy. There the every once in a while phone call, the sometimes skype, the email if the internet works and well...good old fashioned snail mail. I would so much rather hear my husbands voice on the other end of the line than get an email, but then I got to thinking.....wouldn't it be nice to have a letter...handwritten...to hold onto. Something that I could always pull out of the drawer and read if I needed a little pick me up or just to smile. That would be pretty awesome! You see....the world is so techologically advanced these days that people just don't sit down and write letters anymore, so my challenge to myself is to handwrite one letter a month to my husband until he gets back. Who knows....I  might just get one back from him. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Proud Mary.....YEA!!

So Kenzie got Just Dance 2 (Wii) for her birthday and this is her and Lauran dancing away!!

My eyes say it all!

My husband tells me all the time how much he loves my eyes, so this picture is just for him.



Day 2--Go Rest High On That Mountain!!

Go rest high on that mountain, son your work on Earth is done.....those words ring so true this morning. Last night, I got the news that my pastor that led me to Christ and helped me so much through one of the most difficult times of my life, lost his battle with cancer. He fought hard and he finished the race and I know that he is in Heaven looking down on us and singing and smiling and laughing.....boy did he have an infectious laugh. He was a great family friend and a wonderful man of God. He is suffering no more and Heaven has received an amazing angel. Bro. Joe Miller, you will always be in my heart and will never be forgotten. You touched so many lives with your warm kind ways. I love you!!!

Do I have what it takes??? I dunno.

So, those of you who know me know that I have a passion for photography, but I just don't know if I have what it takes to do it professionally or not. Do I really have the gift?? Maybe or maybe not. All I can do is take pictures and get feedback before I start doing it for people. Guess we shall see. These are just a few of my photos that I have taken.

Day 1--SICK AND IT SUCKS!!!!

So, these past few days have been awful around my house. My little one has been sick and then oh the joy....I get sick. Colds suck....especially when you are coughing so much you think you might just cough up a lung. AGGHHHH!!! I am so ready for some warm weather and no colds!

SO.....THIS IS A BLOG!

Well, this is officially my first blog. I decided to do this because I wanted to do a 365 day photo challenge. There will be lots of pictures, because, well I love to take pictures. I hope that you enjoy!!
