Springtime Is When...

Reason #2 why I love Springtime...

Springtime:
is when you pull out your garden tools and gloves and break the solid ground in your garden-bed. Watching the light brown dirt become dark and earthy brown the more you dig and the more you fuss...

Oh! And btw! Check out my freshly new page called "Elsewhere".

Alive.

Reason #1 why I love spring.

Spring...
When it rains causing the dead brown ground and trees to burst with sudden green color...dead through the winter. Then suddenly! In a blink of an eye, ALIVE!

The Will of God.

"And we urge you brothers, astonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18.

Ben & Martha: Wedding | | Wedding Photographer

Hello there! I know it has taken awhile, and I promised you all ages ago that I would share a few of the wedding photos I took at the wedding I photographed. My personal laptop is still down, but it just so happens the wedding pictures are on one of my siblings laptop, too! (Booyah!)
So I thought I would share just a few with you. Now, most of these I will be sharing are unedited because I do not have the time to edit them on this laptop, plus upload them to blogger AND post them. It takes wayyy to long. But here are JUST a few of the many. Don't freak out because they are so raw and unedited...I know...I know...It bugs me too...just enjoy them!

The beautiful bride's dress and shoes.

Her gorgeous bouquet!

It was freezing when we went and did pictures, so I felt bad for the little Flower Girl, but she did so well and didn't complain <3 p="">

 

Little feet...too cute not to snap.

She was so stunning...

Her dress was amazing!

{THE RECEPTION}

Forgive me for the horrible quality of this picture. The lighting stunk in this room and it was hard to capture in the dark without a good flash. But I had to show this picture anyway, because I love their happiness in it! It's a priceless picture beyond the bad quality.

And we shall end with a yummy bowl of addicting M&M's that sat at each table tempting everyone :)

I have to say, I haven't had such good M&M's as these were.

 

I have to apologize these pictures have not the best quality. I'm sorry I had to show most of them raw, and without edit. It frustrates me I can't show the edited ones :((( Oh, laptop of mine, why dont' you work?

 

Anyway, another thing I would like to bring to your attention before you click off my blog asking yourself "Why didn't she show any of the actual ceremony?! What about the groom and groomsmen getting ready? What about the photo shoot with the whole gang? Why didn't she show more of just people in general in the wedding???" Questions flood your mind I'm sure. So let me explain.

#1.Why I didn't take more of the wedding party people: I was practically the "detail photographer" and took mostly of detail that the main photographer didn't have time taking because she was taking of the big stuff (photo shoots, people, ect).

#2. Why I didn't take many of the groom, & groomsmen: I was in charge of taking of the bridesmaids and Bride. Not the groom and groomsmen.

#3. Why there is none showing of the ceremony: because I have already overloaded you all with billions of other pictures from the wedding day, and it was bad lighting in the church, and I didn't have time to edit them for you :)

#4. No reception pictures: again, baddd lighting and didn't have time to edit them for you guyzzz.

Sooooooooooo. Now that you got a list of why's and what-nots, I think I should probably stop rambling and call it a post. So! I apologize once more that these are not edited and don't look their very best. I was debating to just can the post and not show any at all, but I hope I have done the right thing in showing them and you guys enjoyed them overall.

Tell me what you guys think. I adore comments! It would brighten my day! :)

Glory to God, forever!

Water

Today I thought I would take a picture of my lovely Coca Cola glass :) no, I wish I had coke actually in the cup for this picture. But sadly I don't, but water looked very inviting in my favorite cup, so I took a picture to share with you all (: my laptop is sadly still down, so photo credit goes to this iPod once again :/

anyway! I hope as you look at this picture you would remember and thank God for what He has given you. Fresh clean water to drink whenever you want. Something to not take for granted, for there are others out there with no clean water to drink. People who are desperate for water and drink dirty water that they get very sick from. And there are even others who have NO water to drink...it breaks my heart...so thank God for all that He has given you, and please don't complain or take for granted the fresh water you easily get from your sinks.
All glory to God, forever.

The Half Full Jar.

Hello everyone!
I thought I would share an update on how my "jar of blessings" is coming a long. Yep, I'm actually doing it and have kept up with it quite well I think.
(If you're wondering what my "jar of blessings" is, you can look at a past post on it here)

As you can see from my pictures (off my iPod, so not the best quality) that it is filling up slowly but surely. I've really been enjoying this little idea, and have fun writing little special notes of simple things that put a smile on my face that day.
The best part is after folding the little paper, screwing off the top and dropping the note into the half full jar of dozens of small notes.
It's been enjoyable! And I thought I would bring you all up to date in how it's been going :) and show you that I'm actually doing it!

How has your week been going? What has put a smile on your face this week?

Pussy Willow

The Pussy Willow are back in the forest!! I'm over-joyed! Pussy Willow is my favorite Spring item (if I can call it that). There is something about Pussy Willow that makes me so delighted I jump around for joy!

 It's so soft and fluffy. You can see it's silvery figure from far away. It's beautiful and awesome to decorate with! And always when it starts blooming you know Spring is officially on its way. Pussy Willow is the first hint of Spring! I love it!!! And the other day, I believe it was Easter Sunday, I was walking back there and I spotted another HUGE tree of it that I've not noticed before!!!! The one tree I always go to every year isn't very big and doesn't have huge buds. And this year there isn't much of it. And it's all WAYYYY up on the top of the tree making it impossible to pick or even touch. But this year I found a whole another biggg tree mounding with beautiful silvery pussy willow. I was sooo excited!!!!
What is your favorite thing about Spring? Write me a comment and make my day brighter! :)
All glory to God!

P.S. Btw, that's not my picture (I wish it was). Got it off of Pinterest. As of my last post, my laptop is still not working and so I can't pull my own pictures off and post them. So...until then! See ya later and make sure to comment ;)
