Winter

It's here already! Wasn't it just yesterday that it was August? This year has flown by so quickly! The year was filled with so many things. New additions, second jobs, adventures, and self discovery to name a few things this year. Not all the changes have been good, however, and I want to get back into the swing of things.

My photography has been left behind. I don't know why something that gives me such joy has suddenly taken the back burner.I'm sadly taking other priorities. Though I do need to take some time for myself and do what I love to do. The plan now is to read more, drink more coffee (and tea!), and take time to take some photos. even if its just snapshots of the family. I have so few pictures of the twins! Good gravy!

I've also been feeling like I need a big change. I've recently found a few friends I haven't seen in years on facebook and they're all over the place! Dakota moved to Arizona and then somehow ended up living in Chicago! My friend Jenn (whom I haven't seen since I was 12) moved to Nebraska then down to Arizona! She loves it and we talked about the possibility of a visit. I just feel that maybe I haven't gone far enough yet. There are just so many places to see and things to experience. Where will I find the time? Though the bigger question is: When will I find the courage?
