It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

April 2010 - California knows how to party (Day 1)

One of the highlights of this past spring was my visit to California. I ventured out to the desert to visit my dear, dear friends Robert and Deana.


This is the note I left on my office door as I was leaving.


This is the Smoking Lounge in the Denver Airport. I thought this was where Deana and Robert first met but apparently there is another Smoking Lounge in a different area of the airport so I think I was mistaken. I suspect they both look the same so I'm going to pretend that this was the right one.


This was taken on the drive from the airport (Ontario, CA) to Joshua Tree. Yup. It's the desert alright. On the way we saw a guy with a donkey in his jeep.

Picking up the Thread.

Sigh. I did it again. I suck at blogging. I especially suck at daily blogging.

I keep meaning to catch up. The plan has been to go back and add photos for every day I missed…even though I didn’t take pictures for every day I missed. I would have had to cheat and as we know, cheaters never win. Unfortunately, I’m a little OCD when it comes to, well, most things. Unless I can do something perfectly (or at the very least adequately and completely) I tend not to do it. Ergo, I don’t play sports or operate power tools. Since I can’t time travel (yet!) I’m just going to pick up the thread and go forward. I will post some photos from the Spring (my trip to California, my handsome nephew, my mystery bruises, random pictures of my dogs) but then I will move on and document my life from this day foreward. As much as it pains me to have a big giant gap and nothing to fill it with, I’m going to press on. It’s probably a very healthy thing for me to do.

And I just realized the potential innuendo in the paragraph above. But I’m going to leave it there because this post does not have to be perfect (i.e. innuendo=free). New leaf, turned over.

Easter Weekend in Belleville continued.

Easter Sunday we stopped by at our friends' house to have a quick visit with them and their adorable children. Todd and Declan had fun with bubbles and then the wee men were suited up and driven to Easter dinner on a 4-wheeler. Todd was concerned and was making sure the vehicle met the current safety standards.

Easter Weekend 2010 (Belleville)

I made my very first trip to Belleville to spend Easter with Todd's parents and hang out with some  fine Bellevillians. This is a photo I like to call "Bromance".


This one is called "Men Holding Beer". I know. My artistic genius is blowing your minds. This was taken in Cara's studio which is like, a girl version of the man-cave. She has turned their garage into a girly little cavern where she creates beautiful jewellery and hangs glittery stars and angels from the ceiling. So divine.



This is just a lovely picture of Todd and I outside. Aw bless...
