I am still trying to come up with some not so dorky name my photography business I am wanting to start.  I’m still in the process of learning but, I want to get some cards made and get the word out.  I would love input….or business if you need some shots done.  I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.

Maybe I have a little of my mom running through my veins.  I have had and heard of  recent conversations with some people that I hold in dear places in my life.  They told me they were voting for Obama.  Now, let me let everyone know that I am not some huge political finger pointer but, when it comes to this election, let the record show that I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.  I hear every different excuse in the book about him.  Bring home the troops, let’s have change, etc….  I am all for some change, but not the way he is wanting to change.  Let’s talk about his mentor for a second.  He is in one video stating “Not God bless America…God Damn America.”  This is Obama’s mentor!  He has been fed and bought in to this man’s lies.  He is a socialist.  He is the start of damnation for our country.  Great christians that I know are stating that they aren’t sure of his faith but its ok because we need change.  How did that become ok?  When did we as Christians decide that we can over look our leaders’ faith…especially when it could lead to harm for our country.  That’s my rant for today….opinions?

I love my family.  I got a chance to visit with some today at my parents’ house.  The 4th of July is my mom’s favorite holiday.  She goes all out!  I mean ALL OUT.  She even had patriotic hand towels in the bathroom.   We had flag plates, napkins, and cups.  I love it!  She is a member of the Republican Women’s Party.  What can I say, she loves her country.  Here are a couple of shots from today!

I got back last night from a vacation in North Carolina. My family stayed in a cabin in Franklin which is about 20 minutes from everywhere beautiful. We hiked, rode some trails on horseback, fished, slid down giant rocks into freezing cold streams, and had some great family time. The scenery in NC is absolutely beautiful and breath taking. While hiking some of the trails, I became very aware of how God is very awesome. He made these waterfalls, the rocks, the sunsets, and the mountains all to seen by me but to bring Glory to Him. I just want to thank the Lord for making such beautiful creations. I felt so close to him this week and it was amazing.

I have recently joined flickr, an on-line photography community. Please check out some of my latest photos and let me know what you think. Click here to view them.

I met two pretty amazing little people today!  My friend Mandy and her husband Lenon adopted  2 year old twins earlier this year.  I haven’t had the opportunity to meet these little ones due to distance and other crazy circumstances.  However, today was the day.  Let me just say that Mikah and Mikade are beautiful and perfect!  I fell in love with them right away.  They are two of the sweetest kids.  We had a big family reunion with two additions.  I hadn’t seen Mandy in over a year but we didn’t skip a beat!  Another friend of  ours was here too, Cristee.  These two girls are great and definitely hold a special place in my heart.  We may not get to see each other very often but its kinda like an old shoe, always fits just right and is comfortable.  I had a awesome time today and look forward to many memories with Mikah and Mikade. 

i must say that i love the move office space…just a little confession!

I would like to introduce to yall my brother, Kelly.  Most of yall see the serious side of him but I love love love this side of him.  He is a fellow blogger and is going to kill me for this.  That’s the beauty of it!  check him out at www.kellymedders.wordpress.com

As you can see, I am clumsy.  I got into a fight with a bench at work today.  I was picking up a padded bench (the ones you sit on in a kid’s playground) and as you can guess, I dropped it right across my toes.  I thought I had broken my two first toes but luckily I didn’t. I did however bruise the tendons across my toes…OUCH!  I get to wear this nice little attractive bootie shoe thing for a week.  It definitely goes with all of my outfits.  Just thought you should know how clumsy I am.   

I pretty much feel like crap.  I’ve got a huge headache, sore throat, and having some chills.  I know its partly because I haven’t been able to get much sleep lately. I’ve tried different tricks to relax and some sleep aids.  Does anyone else have any suggestions? Help me!
