Sweepstakes
I just entered another contest. This one, if I win, will get me tons of goodies, plus a two night stay at a Marriott. That would be so sweet. Joel and I didn't even stay in a hotel after we got married. We've never stayed in a hotel. I would swim, relax, eat chocolates, roll around on the bed...it would be great. A night away from the house would be perfect for us.

Letter From My Father
My dear Daughter,
I know your value; I see your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that I am in control and I have a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you’d hoped, but My Word says that My ways are better and higher than your ways, and even when everybody else rejects you, remember, I stand before you with My arms open wide. I always accept you. I always confirm your value. I see your good moves! You are My prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in My eyes always remain the same. You will always be the apple of My eye. I will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.
Your Loving Father,
God

Showing the World Through My Eyes
Photography. It has become one of my favorite pastimes...to capture a grouping or image that stirs something within me...something that inspires. This has become my art. There is a brilliant world out there and if I am patient enough, I will find it. I have some pictures I'm already proud of and would love to have prints made of them...will have to get moving on that.
This barn is located about two miles from where Joel and I call home. It's an example of the style of picture I love...old, abandoned, broken down. Places like this speak to me. They call out to me...they scream, "Don't forget me!" and I have to stop and remember that they were once vibrant places...useful and meaningful.

New Things
I have now joined Vocalpoint, a site where I give opinions on products I use (I think). I'm not quite sure how it all works yet, but am excited to try it out. Here's the link:

We'll see what happens. Of course, I'll let you know what I find out as it unfolds for me, too. Exciting! I love surprises!

2013, already???
Well, we managed to survive the "end of the world". Way to go, Mayans! I have to admit, I was a bit intrigued. A little curious. But here we are. I almost wish the world would've ended so we wouldn't have to live through the mess the government is causing us right now. I have a new respect for those who fought in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War...I think it may come to that for us.
Where did those men and women find the courage and the grace to face their adversaries? They grabbed their guns and fought for their freedoms without question. I never really understood that concept until now. I've always taken my freedoms for granted, probably because they were never threatened as they are now. We used to take pride in our America, pride in the flag, pride in the Pledge of Allegiance. I'm not sure if our children even know what those things stand for anymore.
