Thinking...

I have been thinking long, and hard about my photography. And I think I want to try Landscape, instead of families... I love taking photos of people and my daughter but I really love getting outside and somehow capturing that beauty that mother earth has to offer! I was looking at some photos today (sadly, don't know who took them...) and it inspired me to go outside and see if I can find some shots. I would to love to be able to make a book or just hang them on my wall. I love to look at landscapes and I love photographing them!! I just wish I knew what to do!! I think I'm going to post some of my photos on my sites and have you guys decide and hopefully get some advice, criticism, and maybe (Hopefully) some praise! Here are some of the photos I found today!

Long start to a year

I have to confess, I haven't actually touched my camera in about a month! I hate it but never seem to have a free minute or anything picture worthy enough for it. I've been sticking to my phone camera and even that isn't being used as much. I miss it!! This weekend will full of finishing the house and moving in! I can't wait anymore and I'm going to go crazy if we don't get it done. I feel its been taking too long as it is. And really, the house isn't worth it! I love old houses and I loved living in that house but since it got the way it is and what's been happening in there... I don't really want to live there. I need a clean start and I don't think it will happen there. Maybe with time or patience but I doubt I'll ever feel completely comfortable there.
I also don't know why I'm complaining...
I shouldn't be and I am grateful. I want a roof for my daughter and food for her belly, and we have that! We love eachother and we'll get through anything and everything!
:) On from that rant...
I found an awesome park near where I live and cannot wait for the rain to stop and take a day off there. My baby girl is gonna love it and I know she misses going outside as much as we used to! Rain won't hurt her but she's been sick and still has a runny nose and cough. When it's all over and the rain goes away, she'll go outside more!
I'm going to at least take out my stroller more and even for just an hour out, she'll be happy and dandy :)
Well that's about it...
I've ranted and raved. It's time to go clean and cook.
Hope y'all have a wonderful day and weekend!!!

Moved out of Central Oregon

We made the move from Bend, Oregon to Redmond, then to Madras... Now we are finally moved in back home and settling. I have not been posting on anything or really doing much but taking care of the house and my family. Which comes first, no matter what!
Now that we have that settled, on to what has been happening.
December 7th was the worst day ever for me and my small family! My father, Joe, passed away that day. I was, and to an extant, crushed!! My dad meant the world to me and forever will. I still don't think I have fully latched on to the fact that I will never see him again. Or hear him, hold his hand... It makes me cry to think of it still. I wish he could have gotten to see my daughter grow up, our next children, and so much more! He was only 50 years old and turning 51 on January 18th. I think that's enough for now. I can barely see the screen!
January 14th, my babygirl turned 2!!
She is getting so much bigger and smarter. She continues to amaze and outshine! I love her personality and her wonder! She has a life and mind of her own and I thank the lord and angels for giving us her! She makes everything better and challenging and easier... Its hard to explain but I think you get it! :)
So that's about it for big news and events that have been happening in our lives! I have to paint all of the rooms upstairs, and will hopefully be redoing the floors through out the house! We shall see, cause that adds up and gets pretty spendy! I was thinking about trying the brown bag floor thing that I keep seeing for the extra room downstairs.
Any thoughts??
Have you done it or seen it before??
Any comments, advice, and/or help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you all so much for your support and hope you had a great read :)
