I've really been slacking. Not only in my posting but in my picture taking. I felt a little overwhelmed with all that's going on and a little burnt out with the photos every day. So I took a short break...But here are the back-dated ones.
Day 35 - fog
Day 36 - More rain
Day 37 - Plastic Pony
Day 38 - Horse show, rope that cow!
Day 39 - Apples to Apples
More tomorrow!

Germany
Yep, it's Germany. Although it's not official yet so I won't completely blog about it. Except for the fact that we are totally psyched.
Before I met my husband, my plan was to finish college and go to the Peace Corps before getting a life-long job. I wanted a little adventure before being tied down somewhere. But then I met Albert and the plans changed a tad. I graduated before he did and had to get a job until he was done. When he was done this last May I sat still waiting for him to find a job. The Marshall Islands were a prospect, way far away. That didn't happen. Then Wisconsin was a choice. That didn't happen. Then Cheyenne. That didn't happen. With each hit and each possibility we were getting closer to home. Not that I don't love my family; it was just a need to be gone.
The funny thing is, he didn't even find this job. They found him. He flew out to Washington D.C. last week to interview and called me with great news the afternoon of.
"Sprechen ze deutsch?" he said.
"Yea?"
"You'll need it."
And off we go. It's not in writing yet...but let the craziness of moving begin!
So to attempt to clear out all the stuff we have...30% off on most of the items in my shop. Please check it out and spread the word.

Word of the Week
I'm going to give a hint. These items have to do with where my husband and I are headed. He got a job! So they each have a place in common. The people who know me personally already know the answer...and I'm so excited. I'll blog about it all tomorrow when I give the answer. Because of the hint I made it a little harder, I think.

Word of the Week
Well, it is officially 4:30 pm, and I just realized! My day completely disappeared without Word of the Week. Please accept my humble apologies. Word of the Week will continue next week. I had the day off today; it felt like a weekend. I look forward to seeing all of your guesses next week.
Life is hectic
So many things up in the air
Much to be done
Please forgive...

Bryan - Senior Portraits
Be kind, it's my first time. (Eww, that rhymed.)
This is my brother-in-law, weird to think that he's a senior in high school! Sure tells you how young I am though. Here are a few of my favorites. And being a boy he didn't want to do much with it. So we got it done.
Let me know what you think. They are my first senior portraits, and I'm hoping I get to do more.

Featuring my Favorites
I love to window shop on etsy and heart things. But I also wanted to share with you what I'm hearting since I love these items so much! I'll try to group a few in a common theme (that seems to be how I like it considering Word of the Week is that way). And here is my first set.
I've found quite a few things that would be a wonderful gift for a new mom. Or maybe not so new, but just a good mom gift. This is not a hint that I'm going to be one any time soon, I just love these ideas for moms.

What a great idea for a first-time mom, the EKG of your baby and their birthstone!

And here's what to get if you want your family represented in rings.

Hello
I promise I'll have some '100 photos' up soon! Lots going on, including editing wedding photos which is taking up most of my free time. But I'm nearly done.
I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me on ACEO's. Art Cards Editions and Originals. Many photographers on Etsy print them as well as artists. I can make originals or series'. I actually would like to bring my drawing into this...since I don't really feel I am talented enough to paint huge canvases, but a 2.5" by 3.5" hand-drawn picture is something I can manage. And then I would make series of certain photos. Here's a link to one of JMcGuinness' ACEO's.
Let me know what you think and pass on any ideas!

The Outlaws of Sherwood
Since I shared with you all what I'm reading on the side of the blog...I might as well tell you about it when I'm done!
The Outlaws of Sherwood, hmmm. I absolutely love Robin McKinley's storytelling. Her book Beauty is one of my favorites, and I could read it constantly and never get bored. But Outlaws kind of bored me. It felt thick and sluggish. It's a fun story, but I wanted more. More action, more romance, more something. It seemed as though the outlaws of Sherwood just sat around waiting for things to happen and the best part came in the last 20 pages. I wouldn't have minded more back story as she has Robin and Marian being childhood friends. And I wouldn't mind a kiss or two between them. It lacked spark. But on the other hand she still has a beautiful way with words, and I won't stop reading her books because of this one. It really made me want to watch the Disney version of Robin Hood!

Today
I'm taking it day by day this weekend.
This morning I was at the county fair to help out with the ranch sorting...cows in other words. It was a blast, and the hamburgers are soooo good.
This afternoon I'm headed to the local coffee shop to hang up my prints. Crowfoot Valley Coffee
Stop by this month and take a look if you're in Castle Rock, Colorado.
I will update again tomorrow...too much going on to type it all at once. Must get changed out of my horse-back riding jeans and into something a little easier to climb on chairs and bang nails into the wall with. Have a good one, until tomorrow!
