A day in the sun!

This past week I was able to go out and take some more photos of my friends! We had a blast going on a field trip trying to find old places and crops! Stefanie, Keslie and I went one day together and we had so much fun looking for some old nasty places! We found some fields and we had to go and explore on them! We were laughing so hard because Keslie and I have a farm on facebook and we totally feel how farmers feel when they have to go and harvest and plow now!



For my graduation, my wonderful daddy and mom bought me a new lens for my camera! Its a 12-124mm F4! So much fun!!!! Here are two of my favorites that I took with it!!! Kayla and Greg are amazing models huh?!

Why I love Texas...

I just got back from Florida and BOY, it was fun!!! While I was there, I figured out that I never want to live anywhere else but Texas! Don't get me wrong...I really enjoy going to other places around the world but I just can't wait to get back to the West Texas where I have lived my whole life! The other day my friend, Mike, and I went exploring to try to find some really cool old nasty shacks! He already told me of a few that he has found and I had no clue of what kind of field trip he was taking me on! These are just a few reasons why I love Texas!



I know that cows are gross and dirty but aren't they cute! I have never been this close to a cow and I was able to take photos of some of them!



In Florida, you can't find old red barns anywhere! We have them everywhere you turn around!



SHACKS! In Florida, I saw only trees when we went driving! Trees are amazing but seeing old shacks are better...maybe because I love shooting them with my camera!





Mike took me off roading! It was so much fun! Most of the places we went, I know my little car wouldn't be able to live through it!



Florida is not known for Cactus!









Well....I could live without scorpions in Texas! This is a baby mama and she is carrying her babies on her back! Don't worry, Mike killed it for me!





Halfmann's General Store where you can go get drinks and food! (I loved the name because it's almost like Hoffman...)



In Texas, you can find some real good country men! Country men are different from city folks! They open your door for you, call you sug, and shoot guns!











Windmills are famous in Texas! Love them!





Before



During!



After....This is what happens when you go exploring!!!! Now all I need to finish my Texas photos is a pump jack and a pretty sunset!!!! That will be next time! Until...gnight ya'll!!!!

Bianca+Izzy

Izzy and Bianca are getting married in August and I am so excited for them! I have known Izzy for about 3-4 years now and he has been searching for that one perfect girl for a long time. He has had patience and he wasn't going to take any kind of girl to be his wife. When he met Bianca he knew that she was the one and he didn't wait long to ask her to be his wife. Aren't they cute together?

summer...

Life has been extremely busy for me!!!! 1. I started summer school and I will be done in 5 DAYS!!!! I will be done with school FOREVER in 5 days! (I will post some of my amazing paintings I have been doing in class shortly!) I graduate August 8th and you better come to my party! 2. I found a JOB! Its amazing! I work for Joni and Keith who are brother and sister at JoniKeithCo. The cutest little gift store in Lubbock. Located on 98th and Quaker. So far I have been making mosaic crosses everyday. (Will show photos very soon.) COME BUY ONE! You will love them. 3. I have been swimming a lot and so that has also slowed down the blogging a little. 4. I am in Midland right now and I am bored! That is why I am able to blog right now without photos. Sorry kids! 5. I am shooting an awesome engagement couple tomorrow and I am super pumped! Those photos will come shortly when I shoot them. 6. I am done!

Hows your summer treating you?

scrap booking!

Here are my new scrap book pages that I did in my summer class! I had a blast and I still have 4 more to do!!!! Never ending fun!!!! School starts back up for me tomorrow and its my last one hopefully forever. I am taking a painting class. I'm excited. It ends at 12 and when I walk back to my car from class, I walk right by the new leisure pool that opened and so I am going to wear my swimsuit everyday to class...fun stuff huh?

Creative journaling

So, I am taking this three day summer online class with Molly Swanson and she is teaching us how to make a creative journal. This is what Molly says about it...

"So, what exactly is creative journaling, (sometimes called "art journaling")?

It is keeping a journal of everyday events and adding creative or artistic elements including collage, painting, photographs, scraps or your very own handwriting!

Why keep a creative journal?

To experiment with your art work, to work through life's lemons, and to remember the journey you're on! How encouraging is it to look back and remember how GOOD God is in our lives-faithful, consistent, and loving! It's time to let go of fears about not being a good artist or writer."

So this is my first page that I made today!!! I love it! It looks a lot like Molly's but its what I am going through. She told us to write about our dreams, goals, and feelings that we are going through right now. Good way to start the summer off! Here is her blog (www.specsandwings.blogspot.com) if you would like to try out one of her summer classes! So much fun!!!! I'll show you more when I get done!

Thats just part of my mess I made in two hours!
