Good Weekend...

I had a great weekend!! Finally feeling MUCH better! On Friday, Matt and I took our cousins Chloe and Katelyn to the zoo.. Chloe will be 3 in August and Katelyn just turned 1 this month. All I can say is WOW!! Two kids are alot to handle!! It was a GORGEOUS day.. and they really had a good time.. It was just hard.. We were in for a rude awakening! But here are some pictures of them.. they are too cute!!

On the way home from the Zoo I had to stop at my cousins and take a headshot of her.. she is trying out for RENT.. how cool huh?! Well anyways, she is so cute too, so I took a couple extra pictures.. so this is my favorite picture of her!

Then on Saturday I spent the whole day at my cousins dance recital.. My cousin Jenny has 5 daughters.. Now Jenny is more like an Aunt to me.. so her daughters are technically my 2nd cousins... but they are more like just regular ones :) But they are amazing.. I love them so much! They are like the 1st kids I remember from being babies until now.. I remember growing up how people would say STOP GROWING! YOUR GETTING TOO BIG! and now I catch myself saying that to them.. Rebecca, her oldest, is the first person I ever babysat.. AND NOW SHE IS ON STAGE dancing a SOLO!!! She won a scholarship and was able to do a solo dance.. Only 4 of them danced this year, but Rebecca and Rachel, the two oldest are just awesome!! The others are just still so cute because they are young.. I used to dance where they dance so it makes it that much more special :) They rock.. I don't have any pictures from that though :( They turned out to be too blurry!!

Then on Sunday, we skipped out on church... yikes... and just relaxed since I had to be at work on Monday. So we hung out at home.. Then we went to my cousin Aly's again, and took Katelyn's "1st" Birthday pictures.. they turned out SO cute!! I found a cute tutu and a big pink bow, and that is what we had her wear :) Oh I just LOVED it..She has the prettiest, longest baby eyelashes, with bright blue eyes.. She is just gorgeous.. PLUS I am her Godmother, so I just eat that up! :) Here are a few!

Alright, SO I am going to end with one of my favorite SONGS and a good quote :)

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day

Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way

It was getting late, and I was scared and alone

But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home

Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there

And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Chorus:

Oh I believe there are angels among us

Sent down to us from somewhere up above

They come to you and me in our darkest hours

To show us how to live, to teach us how to give

To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees

There's always been someone to come along and comfort me

A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand

A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand

And ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road

That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places

To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Chorus

To guide us with a light of love

A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase. ~Author Unknown

SO ready...

So... for those of you who know I have been off of work for medical reasons.. I will spare you all the horrible details, if you are family you know about it, BUT.. I AM HEALTHY NOW..THANK GOODNESS .. It has been terrible, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. I get to go back to work on Monday!! I am so ready to be back on a schedule and have normalcy! I have never been more ready to be back at work in my life.. I am also just ready for a weekend where I feel good, which will (fingers crossed) be this weekend.. who knows I may have a beer or a glass of wine! yay!

SO I shot a wedding a couple of weekends ago, Troy and Miriah were SO much fun. I have gotten some of the pictures edited..here are just a few...

There will be a million more to come, seeing as I took like 900!!!! It was a great time!

I also just edited my sisters senior grad party invite.. I can't believe that my youngest sister is graduating high school. It is pretty surreal. I am so proud of her. She is such a great girl! I really like the invite! For those of you who know her, your invited! The more the merrier!

So since I have been sick and needed something to take my mind off of what is going on in my life I have decided to start a garden. We have a townhome so it is a Patio Garden of Pots! :) It is so cute! I will post pictures of it as it grows! But anyways, we are growing Tomato's, Green Beans, Green Onions, Jalopeno, Cilantro, Basil and flowers on our front porch! The tomato plant is already growing like wildfire! It is amazing what a little bit of water, sun and Miracle Grow can do, and we just potted it on Sunday.. hopefully it will produce great veggies for us!! My main goal is to make a lot of yummy salsa!! I make it every year with my mom's veggies.. Murphy our cat keeps looking out there all the time.. too bad he is not allowed out! We don't want to lose him! Here are some pictures of the garden today!

Alright well I think that is enough for today.. I have updated you all a little on my life.. I am not sure if I will be able to update this everyday, or every other day or once a week.. But I do know that I really like this a lot so far! :)

And my quote...

"One of the greatest gifts that life can give to anyone is the very special love that families share...As years go by, it's good to know that there will always be certain people in our lives who care. For there are countless things that only families have in common and memories that no one else can make...And these precious ties that bind a family together are bonds that time and distance cannot break. How fortunate we are when we have relatives to love us, it makes the world a happy place to be...Few gifts in life will last as long or touch the heart as deeply as the very special gift of family." - Craig S. Tunks

Ahh what a week...

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey... So I decided to join this blogging world so that I can start journaling more.. Matt and I are a young married couple. He is 24 and I am 22.. We got married in August and it was amazing..and still is!

Matt works for UPS and then he also coaches Varisty Soccer for Madison Christian School...

I work for a Chiropractor and am attempting a career in photography as well.. It is my passion. When my camera is in my hand I am in my element.. :)

We together have a cat named Murphy, and I must admit he is the cutest/coolest/meanest/whiniest cat in the world. But he makes us very happy...

Ok I think that is enough for now... :)

I think I will always end with a good quote...

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."
