Homeschool Move

I pulled a homeschooler, and yes I can say that because I used to be one...

I used to do this all the time in highschool, cut and sew my clothes...I thought I was soo creative, but I think I was just weird. Irregardless (in the voice of Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls), this time it was cute.

It was a bit impulsive so I did not take a before shot, thinking I could find a picture of the dress online, but to no avail. So this will have to entice you for now until I can get a before and after photo up.

This next photo was one my mom emailed a bunch of us this morning...That is my Granddad, Grandmother, Uncle and Aunt in the photo...As a photojournalist, I love the story this photo tells. It was on the way back from WWII. I never met my Grandmother, but I have heard amazing things about her- she was a strong believer, servant hearted, silly, feminine and strong.

The camera around my Granddad's neck is now on my shelf at home. I never saw him use it, but was recently given it and immediately noticed it when I saw the photo. I can't wait to grab some film and try it out. I need to do the same with this camera from the fab Grace Potter! She is such a beautiful girl, and was so sweet and left this on my front porch for me as a Thank You for doing her senior portraits.

Had a great meeting with Mel and Ash for iYL - we're game planned and moving forward for http://iyl.onthecity.org/ ! I feel so blessed to work alonside everyone in the Young Life world...having been involved in highschool/college but not since, it's so great to be back in a more administrative capacity...I'm definetly being stretched, being forced to think outside of the box, but am ultimately being so blessed!
