Summer 2012! A Blessed Time :-)

It has been a crazy but wonderful Summer. :-)

Got to see two dear friends get married (one of them in Texas - Road Trip!)

 Attempted to get an amazing sunset...decided I need a better lens.

Celebrated the 4th of July with family :-)

Went to Bible camp and heard some amazing preaching while having a wonderful time!

 Hosted our 8th annual youth rally which was maybe the best we've had yet! A truly blessed time! 

Had a birthday part :-)

And even remembered to grab my camera for a few amazing moments. :-)

Such as almost catching lightning on film for the first time in a long time.

I've definitely kept busy but it's all been good and each step of the way I've been reminded in so many ways how blessed I am. Life always has it's ups and downs but this year it really has been more ups than downs. Or maybe I'm just learning better how to trust the Lord... Either way I'm thankful and give all the glory to my amazing, loving, wonderful Lord. :-) I hope that your Summer has been just as amazing.

Summer is here...

Or at least the busy part is! lol

Well, as you all can see I have failed miserably at the 365 posts. I think it's been a month today since my last one. And the days are only going to get busier. Thinking I'm going to give up for now. :-/ I will try to keep posting more often than I was before but I don't think it's going to be every day. lol It did help me get back to picking up my camera more often which is good and was part of the goal. I even took a specific 365 photo some days...just didn't get it transferred to the computer... lol Oh well. I tried! I and partially succeeded. And won't be actually giving up in that I will continue to post periodically thought it won't be every day of the year. lol Maybe I'll try again next year... :-)

Of course I can't leave you without posting a photo on this post so here ya go. :-P

What I did today. :-)

One of the things we did this week while Spring cleaning! We've had the shelf for a bit and I finally got it up in the kitchen and I love it! It's so pretty!

It's Spring Cleaning time!!! And we've been working on it all week. I have to be honest though and say that not only was it my sister's doing but she's done the bulk of the work as well. I hadn't actually caught the "Spring Cleaning Bug". lol 

I will say though, things look a lot better! Did some much needed de-cluttering and organizing. :-)

I greatly dislike it when the photo comes out blurry. But then I'm too lazy to disconnect the camera and shoot a couple more. lol

My new friend, Lula Belle. :-)

She belongs to a lady I help take care of and she is the sweetest bird. I just love Parakeets. :-) But! She didn't like my phone! lol She would sit on her perch and chat with me (Yes! She talks to me! It's so cute!) until I put the phone up to snap a photo and then she'd jump up into her corner. lol

Today there were butterflies all over the neighbors Lilac bush! Well...all over being a relative term but I would say there were a couple dozen at least. :-) I was only able to take a few shots though because my card was full! So frustrating!!! I wanted to shoot and shoot!

Lots of fun. :-)
