We attend church on Saturday afternoon…and I am normally ready before my husband. As I waited downstairs on the couch, I realized I hadn’t taken my “this is me” shot. Then, I saw my reflection in the tv so I picked up the camera. I’m sitting in “my spot” (referencing Big Bang Theory) on the couch. This reflection gives you a hint of our kitchen and dining room. This is also where you can find me editing pictures and blogging.


I don’t really make resolutions (I prefer to work towards realistic goals), but I wrote about how I want to live my life in a post just before Christmas: I Want MORE for Christmas. One of my favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I’ve kept this verse locked in focus for years and I know that as long as God is in charge, then those plans will succeed.

I mentioned earlier that I am typically ready before my husband. However, when he walked downstairs, I was pleasantly surprised by how handsome he looked. Not that he isn’t always handsome, but you know how it is when you dress up for work all week long…it’s nice to dress down during the weekend (thus, I usually see him in sweatpants and a t-shirt…same with me). After complimenting him, he asked me to take a picture of him to show Nanny (since we know that my mother-in-law reads my blog almost daily and shares with his grandmother that we call Nanny) how sharp he looked. Nanny gave him this sweater for Christmas.

I really treasure the time that he’s at home.

This shot was technically not taken in the past week (it was taken the week before), but I wanted to illustrate the innocence of a child. I was chasing Carter around my mother/father-in-law’s house. Clearly, my focus is a bit off and I had my ISO raised pretty high, but I’m embracing the noise!


The term “primitive” had me lost. However, I do have one piece of artwork in our living room that I would consider rather primitive (alright, this is totally a stretch). My mom bought it for me when I was still single – I actually have two pieces by the same designer. However, my husband thinks they look ridiculous – we compromised by leaving one piece out. I think it looks cool.
