//about time//

I guess it's about time I took the time to post again...

my sister keeps nagging reminding me to post...

so- I'm posting. 

2015 has been pretty busy, it's hard to believe we are nearing the end of the month already. 

I have a hard time finding a happy-medium when posting...

meaning I try to keep it exciting and not become a boring, run-of-the- mill blogger, while at the same time try not to go on and on about //life// around here.

I guess I'll start with most likely my newest "adventure"

//geocaching// 

I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but just kept putting it off for a warmer day. My brother and I finally decided to do it-- and the sun was bright, cheery, and warm. Hidden behind the clouds. In other words by the time we were done, I was freezing and unable to feel my fingers. I found it though!! I am definitely looking forward to doing this again when it is {hopefully} warmer! 

While thinking about the cold, there is one thing that I love about the cold winter days, and that is the lovely, picturesque //sunrises// and //sunsets//...

I was just reading this, this morning in my devotions-- The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalm 19:1 

On Saturday we had a //birthday party// for my Grandma, who turned 87 today. Of course we had a "party" before the party- doing some shooting...

...this gives you a glimpse of what my family and I are like. Let's just say our roots run deep in the hills of the south. For those of you wondering if I shot or not, of course I did... I shot lots of pictures :) 

Finally we all gathered together-- family from around the state, some who I haven't seen for years-- and we celebrated this womans life:

An amazing wife, mom, grandma. Leaving a godly legacy for us all. God is so amazingly good and I am so //blessed// to call her my grandma. 

Our party in the garage...lots and lots of food, noise, and people!! 

Grandma with 6 of her 9 children. 

I could go on, but...

my cup of tea has been long gone and there are other things to do. Before I go though, I'll tell you about this tea cup. My sister {Olivia} gave me a whole set of this toile print china. They're made in England. Here is a dialogue about my other sisters {Anna} thoughts on me drinking out of a tea cup:

A- "Never really took you for a China type person. Mason jars and China...hmmm." 

{Because if you know me well enough you know that I always drink out of a mason jar instead of a glass.} 

E- "I was thinking that elegance in the morning and hick the rest of the time." 

A- " There you go...New blog title: the elegant hick ;)" 

For now though, I've decided to keep my blog title the same :) Be watching for some change on here soon. Also I have yet to post the pictures of my first photo-shoot of 2015. Hopefully soon!!
