Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in GOD's sight.

50 MM

001

A couple days ago I bought my moms 50 millimeter lens! I was so happy!! I’ve wanted a new lens for a long, long time and finally my dreams came true. ;)

004

I love the focus on this thing! Especially on the picture above, how you can clearly see the tape but everything else is a blur.

014

And this one! Don’t even get me started… It’s amazing!! I did absoltely no editing to this (or any of this pictures for that matter) and it just, I don’t know. I want to take pictures all the time now!

008

I love this one too! How it blurs my phone but focuses on my school planner. Ah-maz-ing.

016

And this one.. How my camera strap is so clear but our floors just look like a brown back round.

Lovin’ this! What’s your favorite picture? What lens do you use the most?

Thanks for reading!!

Computer pictures- Post 2

The other day I did a post with some pictures that I found on our laptops. Well, I didn’t finish with all the pictures I wanted to but needed to post so thought I would do this in two or three posts (we have a lot of pictures!).


The very last picture I said that I was not a very serious person

It’s true. PS: Don’t mind my Einstein hair going on here… Not sure what was happening. Anywho, I haven’t done one photo shoot with my mom without taking one weird faced picture… It’s just, me!


Another thing I can almost guarantee you have read about on my blog is my sister.


Although sometimes she can get on my nerves.

“Peeing myself”

That’s literally how I felt today when I was looking threw some of our old pictures! Let’s share shall we? :)

Some things have never changed with me.. I have always had brown hair, blue eyes, and

Easter 2005 018

Tried to be the center of attention, Easter 2005.

My sister, London, has been and will always be

Easter 2005 021

The cutie with the big smile, Easter 2005.

Another thing about me, I’m not always the most stylish

Easter 2005 007

This picture was so funny. Im not sure what I was thinking with the half-fake wig thing there… Jacob’s birthday 2005.

Center of attention, no problem!

Intermission of cuteness, even with a Dora band-aid on her head.

I danced for 7 years, but rather have been the candy thrower.

And because I have to get off the computer, I’ll end this post with this,

I have never been a very serious person. :) Also a HUGE thank you to Kiley and my new blog design!!!

And then I thought I’d share a picture of me today just for the fun of it..

Picture 10

Please ignore the fact that I only took about 10 minutes to get ready today and since nobody other than my family is going to see me today, I didn’t really care what I looked like..

And to prove that I am not going bald,

John

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14.1 NIV

This was part of my bible study a couple days ago. How special is that! He has a room for everyone who believe's in him in his house. Is that not cool?! Just thought I would share with you these break taking words.

Wednesday night church

Last night we had church, like every Wednesday night.

097

I brought my camera but didn’t take any pictures during class. But did take some when London and I were waiting for mom to get done at Rehearsal (for Sunday church).

099

We walked around the church and I snapped random pictures. Of course, the cross <3

 

102

London wanted to be the “photographer” but I wasn’t really into smiling and I kinda preferred to be behind the camera instead sense I like could not be natural for some reason… Awkward face.

103

American Flag. Go USA! lol

106

This is her, “do I REALLY have to get another picture taken!” face :)

 

107

A couple self-timed ones…

109

 

111

Haha!! I showed my mom this one and she could not stop laughing!!!

121

Another one of London’s shots. My sad looking Uggs.

125

I’m in love with this mirror!! SO fun!

126

128

Comfy chat chairs :)

129

I’m in love with this one. I just can figure out why though..

 

130

Bathroom sink… That’s always fun… Haha

133

And it wouldn’t be a blog post with out something embarrassing, right? How about some stunning pictures…

134

135

Ahh…

What’s your favorite shot?? How was your Wednesday night? I’m proud to say that I started my photo challenge today!!! <3 I’ll put the pic on tomorrow because it would be a crime if I posted twice in one day now wouldn’t it!!!

Photo Challange

 192317846557066478_4S8aeR9n_c

Here we go guys... My first photo challange! Actually thats a lie, I did one a looong time ago but then couldn't find what I had to do next and stopped.. So! Here is the list of things that I have to do and realistically, I probably won't be right on target but I'll be close. I'll try to do it where I post weekly but I might get it day-to-day as it goes on... Well see :) So, my inspiration? This girl and this girl! Girl #1 has started it and put it on Pinterest (my newest love) and girl #2 hasn't started yet but she has done the 365 photo thing... Also Ali has taken some fantastic pictures lately and has made me want to take my camera everywhere with me!! So, here goes nothing.. I will most likely post them on my pinterest but I'll try to get them up here as well... Here is the link to my pinterest, just click on any of the letters in this sentence. So, here goes nothing :) I will start soon so keep checkin back, or just become a follower so you automatically can see my posts :)

Thanks for being a follower/reader!

New year, new beginnings

It is now 2012. The 4th day in actually... I apologize for not blogging in so long, I just haven't had much to say...

This year I am hoping to attend more weddings that funnerals, and go farther in my walk with Christ.

I have a bucket list up top that I wrote when first creating this blog, one year ago, and haven't edited much sense... I hope to get some of those done and make a blog bucket list like Kiley (clickandcapturephoto.blogspot.com) did, and following threw with it.

I also am going to be more active this year, and not just in the summer. I would like to stay fit and enjoy life. In the summer never stop using my new golf clubs I got for Christmas!

I am pretty good with my money but this year I want to spend minimal!!! After all, I'll be getting a car in just a year and then I have to pay for gas and the other little things and so why not save?

I would also like to try to do that picture 365 thing where you take a picture every day, so well see how that goes... Haha!

Some people say a new year means a new start. Why? I don't want to start over, and either should you! Although my last year was the worst so far, the things that happened changed me. Here are some of my goals for the next 365 days and I WILL go threw with them! I hope to have you followers come with me on my journey! Thank you, thank you for being a follower!!

Today is a good day

Today I slept in until 11:13 and loved every single second of it.

Today I didn't have school, so I got to just hang out and chill.

Today was Gerard's surgery and everything went wonderful! They got all of his tumor out and didn't even have to take his kidney out!

Today I went ice skating with Bill and London at the local ice arena. Pictures to come

Today I am writing the 1st post of the year and don't have much to say.

I praise my Savior for this day. A day full of wonderful memories and a life saved. Thank you Jesus for another day on your beautiful earth. And thank you for praying for Gerard. It means so, so much! For more information on him go to Caring bridge and go to his site, gerardschucard. Thank you!
