Fire: Day 22/366

I was burning some old bills today and thought it would be cool to capture some pictures of the fire.

Focus: Day 21/366

A friend and I took a basic photography class today. I wish it would have been more hands on. I did get a lot from it and I hope to keep practicing and get better at taking pictures.

Frosty: 20/366

This was my windshield this morning.

Making it Count: Day 19/366

Since we are moving in a few months, I thought we should count all the coins in our change jar. We had just over $300!!

Sky View: Day 18/366

The sky as I was headed to town this afternoon.

Swamp: Day 17/366

I took this picture in November when I went down to Louisiana to visit family. I want to spend an entire day just taking pics of all the things I love about Louisiana. It seems all my trips are usually rushed and I don't get time to do the touristy things as I'm trying to spend as much time with family as I can.

Tile: Day 16/366

House repairs and cleaning continue around here. Tonight I scrubbed the grout under the kitchen table. The grout is chipped in a few places and needs some attention. I figured I should clean it before trying to match the color for the repairs.

Too Pink: Day 15/366

We painted the kids bathroom and hallway today. The color we choose as a neutral was just a little too much on the pink side. Luckily I had paint left over from when we remodeled our bathroom last spring. This picture shows the difference in the two colors.

Angry Bird: Day 14/366

Still working on the house. This is one of our Angry Bird pumpkins Matthew painted for Halloween.

Tree: Day 13/366

We are busy getting the house ready to sell. Here is a picture I took at my Mother-in-law's house over Christmas. I love her tree!!

Hash Browns: Day 12/366

A few weeks ago we ate breakfast at Waffle House. The boys all got the hash browns and loved them. I made my own version this morning and they were a hit!!

Storage: Day 11/366

Along with painting, we are also putting excess stuff into a storage unit to stage the house. I made two trips this morning... I think I'll have a couple more boxes ready to go tonight as well. I can't wait to done with this phase. I really hope the house sells quickly so that we don't have to stress over possibly renting it.

Wrong Color: Day 10/366

I've been working really hard to get the house ready to be put on the market. I was painting the wall in my room earlier where some drywall had been repaired. Only after I was finished did I notice I used the wrong shade! Doh!!

Crashing: Day 9/366

This picture was taken two years ago. Matthew built a snowman and decided to plow himself through it! We haven't had any snow yet this yet, though they are forecasting a little for later this week.

Scruffy: 8/366

Mike headed back to Ft. Campbell today. Only about 4.5 months until we get to live together full time!!I can't wait!

Foggy: Day 7/366

I took this picture last January. The neighbor's street light cast an eerie glow through the fog.

We spent most of the day boxing us stuff for storage in anticipation of our move this summer, so I didn't take any pictures.

Cross Pistols: 6/366

Mike and I were on post running errands today. He wanted to stop at the Military Police Memorial Park to see the new statue that was installed in September. The picture above it the cross pistols above the entrance to the park.

Twisted: 5/366

Lauren wanted me to braid her hair last night so that she would have wavy hair today.

Turkey: Day 4/366

We received a turkey fryer from my Dad a few years ago. It has become our favorite way to prepare a turkey. It's fast and the meat is so juicy and tender.

Stacked: Day 3/366

Jacob started stacking the left over red cups after our New Years Eve party. The next day I was out running errands and he asked me to pick up more cups for him. He keeps stacking and restacking the cups into different shapes. He has even taken to timing himself to see how fast he can stack them. Who knew it could be so cheap to entertain this kid!!

Bookworm: Day 2/366

I love reading. Trying to finish a couple of books before my next semester starts.

Revival: Day 1/366

I'm going to try to revive this blog. I intend to post a photo a day for this entire year. It's a leap year, so there will be a bonus day! The picture below was taken shortly after midnight last night. We had friends over to celebrate the New Year. The picture was taken with my iPhone 4.



I plan to use this photo-a-day exercise as a way to improve my photography skills. I know the above picture won't win any awards, but it's the only picture I've taken today.
