Watch me grow!

I am back after a few days of . . . well, I guess kind of forgetting I even had a blog.  No, I'm kidding, I didn't forget about you guys!  :-]  I have been a little busy this weekend.  It's been so rainy and humid that napping is the best thing to do.  Anyway, I have two cool things to share with you: 1) I know what my best friend, Errika is having . . . still a secret!  She found out today (cute story to follow); and 2) my photography blog is officially up and running!  As I told you before, she agreed to sharing the gender with her family and friends through my blog and the photos that we are going to take today.  :-]  Now, my goal is to get those photos taken, edited, and posted by tonight; that's got to be one hard secret to keep!  :-]

Oh, and a random thought of mine:  I never finish anything I start.  It sucks!  I was thinking about how I started my nephew's 1 year scrapbook, P90X, Weight Watchers . . . umm, there's gotta be more, but I can't remember.  Haha, but I never finish!  I need some discipline!  One thing that I promise to grasp on to and actually grow in is photography!  :-]  Watch me grow!

Chime in!

So, I have begun making my photography blog although I will not make it public until I have it all finished; I just have to add a few more things.  Don't get me wrong, there is going to be nothing special about it by any means, just a place for people to go and see only photos.  I'm actually debating whether I want to make it a second blog that is solely for photography or if I should just add photos?  I'm at a fork in the road!  What do you think?  I have also made a watermark for my photos . . . which requires a name.  Wanna know my name?  Can't tell you yet!  It won't be long, promise.  :-]  I do know that I love how it looks!  I am pretty impressed with myself!  ;-]  I am also debating whether or not I want to add the watermark to photos now or wait until they actually look as good as they possibly can.  Oh, boy these are tough decisions!  Come on, chime in!  What do you like?

Solo circumnavigation inspiration!

I just came across a new blog that I'm really excited about following!  It's about this 16-year old girl named Abby that is attempting to be the youngest ever to solo circumnavigate (in other words, sail around the world by herself).  I was just browsing through her past blog posts and I have to admit that I've become inspired to try and do the same thing!  No, I'm totally kidding, but she really is inspirational.  From the looks of it, she is a Christian, too so that makes her even cooler!  ;-] 
Today is day 35 for her and she blogs pretty regularly about her experiences, struggles, and everything in between.  I guess the average time it takes to complete something like this is between 120-170 days.  I am definitely going to be following her blog and wishing her the best.  Maybe you should check her out too!
