Not so slick
I tried to be money wise and make myself a smoothie for breakfast. Oh, the smoothie came out great…but when i got in my car the whole thing spilled on the seat and that place in between the seat and the center consol where you can’t reach. Thank the Lord a family friend was working on our garage and he helped me…friggin ridiculous.
On a lighter note: Im helping shoot photos at...
March 2011
Started using my flash attachment today and I totally love it! I must confess...
Turning 4 is a milestone I'd say..
Ireland turns four today, the 23rd. Oh how this grieves my heart. She is getting so big and all her babyness is gone! Gone i tell ya!
As you can plainly see, i am not ok with this. I fully believe this child was born into our family to cause change in the lives around her. I am so so so so very blessed to be her aunt.
It is unbelievable how fast those first four years of her life sped by. I...
You know those days when you’re annoyed by 95% of the people you come in...
Day 14-Your earliest memory
i was laying in my crib, started crying, and then my mom picked me up and started rocking me. i’m not sure how old i was, maybe two or so. i was probably crying because i was hungry, because let’s face it: when am i not hungry?
Day 13-Somewhere you'd like to move or visit
let’s do both.
i’d love to visit as much of europe as i can, but for sure spain, france, italy and ireland. i want to see the rest of latin america. i have 4 countries down, so i’d say i’m off to a good start for a 19 year old. but of course, as bizzare and crazy and insane this may sound, the journalist in me wants to go to all the places that are breaking headlines as we...

Day 10-Discuss your love and first kiss
…cricket cricket…..yeah, if you read the “30 interesting facts about me” post, you would know i have never been kissed and therefore, don’t have a first love. well, i love Jesus, but i still haven’t kissed anyone.
yes, freak out because there is a 19 year old out there who has still not swapped spit with someone.
i really hope fatnotpregnant doesn’t think i’m a creep for liking...
– so, fatnotpregnant, thank you for the never ending source of entertainment.
Lipstick malfunction on american idol: HILARIOUS
update
in the process of making a new blog strictly for my photography. i know this one was supposed to be just that, but it has def turned into my online journal, if you will.
so the new blog i am making is for the purpose of my photos, no reblogs or anything like that.
it’s totally in construction still (if tumblr would just get it’s act together), so i will definitely give you the info...
Got my nose repierced.
Lovin it.
Day 09- How you hope your future will be like
Isn’t this like the one in 10 years?
Anyway, I just want to be in the Lord’s will, and I’m hoping that includes living in a different country.
Just doin my 30 day challenge updates…im not cheating i swear.
Day 08- A moment you felt most satisfied with your...
Hmm…this is hard. I’d like to think I’ve been pretty satisfied for most of my life. Sure I’ve gone through some shady circumstances but I’ve gotten through them totally by the grace of God. But one of my most proudest moments was when I got the editor in chief position at school.
But I’ve deff been pretty satisfied with my life thus far. :)
Day 07- Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits...
Im sagetaries (don’t know the spelling). And i don’t really know, since i think it’s just a little bogus. Fun to read, but bogus.
I hope people don’t think I’m a cynical old hag from reading all these posts.
Day 06- Write 30 interesting facts about yourself
Here goes nothin:
1. I like eating more than sleeping
2. I hate talking in front of people, but i dont mind dancing in front of them
3. I love shopping for school supplies
4. Dumb and Dumber is my favorite movie…of all time
5. I was homeschooled, but i crack jokes on homeschooled kids
6. I can’t go to libraries anymore because my last late fee was $51.61
7. It’s hard for me to...
Just updating my 31 day challenge…sorry for the dash spam!
Day 05-A time you though about ending your own...
Can’t say i ever have…I’ve had a close relative try and it was the most brutal thing. But, the thought has never crossed my mind.
Day 04-Your views on religion
It is deff a common misconception that christianity is a religion. It’s not. I think religion lies mostly with tradition and following certain steps to attain an everlasting peace. You may be say well duh, that’s what christianity is. Not so much. My walk is different from any other christian because i have my own relationship with God.
I’m not bashing in any way on religion,...
Day 03-Your views on drugs and alcohol
Ha! Oh Lord, we all know that i would not drink alcohol if it were the last thing on earth…we also know i would not do drugs to up my “A” game, feel like I’m in the moon, or try to ease my pain.
If that’s your thing, each to there own…this is my view.
Day 02-Where you'd like to be in 10 years
hmm…ten years. i’ll be 29 (what?), and who knows if ill be married yet. i’m in no rush. but i want to be in another country other than the U.S., shooting some pics or writing a story for a publication. i want to be employed by either nat geo, getty images, or any place that will take me….but i seriously would love love love love love to be shooting pics on the mission...
looking at clothes online is lethal, especially since my check is less than a...
Day 01-Your current relationship, if single...
pff, i’ve been single since day one, and quite frankly, it’s been working out just great. call me inexperienced in the dating world (which, i am), but i’m so happy with where i’m at right now. i love not having to check with someone, i’m happy i don’t have to worry about hurting some dang boy’s feelings, i’m happy i can just hangout with friends and...
going to san fran real soon
we’ll be there for about 4 days only, but can you suggest some must do’s???
Sometimes moms and dads have to go to work so they can buy stuff.
– Ireland.
Glad she knows what needs to be done.
These people aren’t the brightest people in the tanning beds!
– Rhiannon, speaking of the paparazzi. Gotta love the P.R. majors.
Lord, thank you for dailyjunkla and her widom and insane encouragement....
– On that same note, thanks for all the friends that have been encouraging me and totally supporting me these last few days.
Pretty much blown away and owe it all to You.
Amen
It’s deff been one of those days.
