Our first lighthouse . . .

Our first lighthouse visit was Yaquina Head. It was foggy...windy...and beautiful. We stopped by this lighthouse for another visit on a sunny day..but..that's another post.

Ginger. . .our little digger.

She hates to have a bath....I hate the mud. We both lose.

ahem. . . one project.

I have lived these pictures for days now...and I've only posted a very few. (It was hard to stop) I learned a TON. (sizing...grrrr) among other things...but...live and learn.....and learn I did...and most importantly... I enjoyed the journey. =)

School . . .YAY!

I'm pretty excited for school this year...yup...I have alot of projects to be done...and now I have time. However, the best part....my bff quit her job...and I have plans.

LOVE.

It's important to me that my pictures tell a story. When I look at these pictures I am reminded of what was gained...not what was lost. This is the moment the last piece of the puzzle was put into place...for me. My "ah-ha" moment if you will. My moment of understanding...and complete happiness. Thank you Josh and Mandy.

A Hero . . . .

an ordinary person...who does extraordinary things. As I write this through tear filled eyes...my heart is full. Today is a big day for you Meg...letting go....and moving forward. Wednesday was one of the best days of my life...I watched you come into the world...and I watched your first baby come into the world. I met the parents you chose for Kayden...and I love them. I continue to pray for your strength...but I think it's you who strengthens those around you. You have taught me so much. Thanks.

My cup runneth over . . . .

The Aquarium . . . .

We enjoyed an afternoon at the Aquarium...and a HUGE laugh at my expense...so...you won't find the story here.

Hangin' at the beach . . .

The Beach was beautiful...the water FREEZING...and we loved it!
