every year my dad's side of the family gather at my aunt&uncle's for christmas eve.
usually for christmas morning&day, it is just our immediate family that get together. it is much quieter and layed back---spending time with the family i love.

december presents: troy's victorian stroll






every year in the beginning of december, trojans walk around troy checking out the local shops and eat food. it is a really fun time--especially when you periodically see people taking the word "victorian" to heart.

good food, company, laughter&finally...a nice family photo! unfortunately, we're missing one.

mom&amanda






after church one sunday we {mom,amanda&i} decided to meet up with jeff and go apple picking on a wonderful, warm, fall afternoon.

god's almighty timing











I'm going to school for physical therapy. I am infatuated&intrigued by photography and traveling, yet I have done very little traveling {out of the country only a few times--Canada} and am a complete novice at photo taking. I want to learn so bad, and am basically teaching myself through trial and error.

basically, i have so many interests going on in me that it is hard to figure out which one i should focus on for now. however, to solve this problem, i can just go to God right? of course! but as per usual, with everything else going on {school, work...} it is hard. i am slowly but surely making more time for God, and yet still just a wee-bit impatient for answers when i ask qu
estions. but the lord is faithful.. and he will let me know.

he has already let me know that the "timing" was wrong when two of my friends,sister&i wanted to plan a trip to Ireland! it was going to be my&amanda's first trip over seas. our friend lizzy went to england and our other friend nancy has been to ireland,scotland,italy,spain,alaska {nancy, if you are reading this and i missed anything, let me know! lol} we were so excited. but from the get-go i knew that i needed to seek God out for his wisdom and timing. i would pray for discernment and that he would let us know if we should continue to pursue this trip any more or wait for a later date. and surely enough, he had let us know.

so right now, i'm praying again-- Lord, please let us know if 'next' august is your timing. i want to go forth in the things that are of your timing. i pray for finances and peace in this situation. and Lord let me know that i am on the right track with you. i love you.




not the greatest picture---but a reminder for us to continue to pray about this desire in our hearts.

ohhh october... a day in the park











...the sun, the warmth, the leaves, the company..... the inability to appreciate without my camera.
