Adventures

Today's day started off with the adventures of new times at JRA. In the end I think all turned out fine but it was a little crazy with so many people and then I had to head off to a creative services meeting for photography.
Project Partnership is the Saturday and I am planning on trying to photograph the event even though it isn't very ideal to do so with a cast on. I don't have a photography badge yet (they are trying to make me one this week) and they were out of "photographers" badges so they gave me a press badge and told me not to worry if one of the pastors came up to me and started talking to me. Oh dear, I hope I can get my own photography badge this week. I am definitely not cut out for press.

Then after church my sister and I had to stop by Walmart to pick up a few things for our parents and we were very fascinated by all the flowers. I had a little bit of babysitting money so I splurged and bought a five dollar bouquet to use as a prop since we were planning on tacking some pictures.

It was HOT HOT HOT! outside. But we did get a couple of fun shots. So get ready for image overload. (If you click on the picture you can see it bigger)



































































My pictures aren't always perfect, but I am learning and that was our little adventure....however I dont highly recomend photographing with a fractured hand. Very sore after ever with a cast supporting.

Travel Talk

Lately there seems to be lots of talk about travel. Okay well maybe I have had travel on the mind.
I sat with two lovely ladies after church this morning and we talked about travel and places that would be fun to visit. :)
Then on the car ride home my sister and I got to talking about traveling and she mentioned a program she had heard about that she wanted to try. I don't know a lot of information about the program but it is through "People to People" which is an ambassadors program. They host trips to all over the world during the summer and provide students with the chance to grow in leadership and learn about different cultures.
She really had me interested and I could help but think of how fun it would be to do something like this together. Her dream trip would be to Australia and the New Zealand area. I think part of me of me is really excited about traveling for the photography opportunities but many of the trips are also featured around community service projects.
Oh goodness, I think I have gone off an a whim. We have never really ever gone on a family vacation and I think that is why I so desperately want to travel. I guess we will see. I believe that one day my impossible will come true. :) There are so many factors that often say 'no' to something but if it is right and meant to be then it will happen.
The funniest part of it all is I am one of those people who needs organization and routine in my life to function so the lord must be growing something in me to even consider travel...and it has been on the heart a lot lately.
Still dreaming of the beach and wishing I could take a mini vacation there with some friends.
