one. three. six.

something else I did a lot of last week.

thrifting.

I had some things I was looking for:  a kitchen table, fruit crates, dishes, etc.

so this is just a nod to my thrifting adventures.

I did, by the way, find all those things:)

nifty thrifty.






































I really liked the window and sign together.  lots of lines and colors.  magnifique.

135.

sorry sorry sorry!

moving out is a lot of work.  and after painting for three hours, I don't really feel like blogging.  but it gave me chance to read some of my friends' blogs and I started feeling really guilty.  I think people like this blog, so I'm going to try to get better.  october has just been nuts for me.

thus the picture for this day.  it encompasses what I've been doing for the past week and a half...projects.  this is just one of many.  a magazine rack that my grandma gave me.  I spray painted it and braided some ribbon to tie on the sides.

anyways, here's a nice picture for you!  boring, maybe, but nice.

by the gallon.


























it's interesting to me.  lots of things going on.

one hundred thirty four.

today, I got lucky.

although I don't know if I'd call it luck when God just gave us the most perfect fall day ever.  it smelled like leaves, and rain, and love.

my g.p.s. took me on farmdale road which is my new favorite place.  the whole entire road.  holy wow.  its full of picture taking opportunities.  I will be going back.  fo real.

but today I didn't have but ten minutes, so I stopped at an easier spot.  the farmdale reservoir.  oh la la.  so pretty.  beautiful.  amazing.  let me just go ahead and reveal this...there will be more posted to the site.

fall on me.






































AHHGHGHHGHHHHH!!!!!

one hundred 33.

here we go.

pretty excited about this one.  it was an effort of sorts but I've always wanted to go shoot to this area.  get ready for it...

...the closed morton pool.

it looks so dark and creepy and strangely inviting.  so I went there.

I really really like this, its so cool looking and once I spotted this, it was so visually attractive.  it looked like art.  fo real.

shadow pull.






































so so cool.

132.

beautiful beautiful day.  imago dei had its last service at the gateway.  sad, bittersweet, exciting, lots of things.

it was our last service and I just had to take some pictures to capture the joy and great times that happened in this place.  and some great things happened here for the kingdom of God.  so I think this picture is beautiful just like everything about this church is beautiful.

I just really like the angle and the colors.

endless stories.






































play on words.  props to my imagos.

baby oren is on his way!

today was jessey's baby shower.  full of owls, fallness, and love.  we celebrated, ate, and gifted.  this little baby is already spoiled rotten.

helping out was really fun and it felt good to make my sweet friend so happy.

some of the favors we had were little bags of peanuts and candy corn.

I couldn't resist settting this shot up and the momma-to-be just made it thee picture of the day.  it encompasses jessey in many ways:)  so excited to see her become a mom!

little peanut.






































pretty sweet.  maybe it'll make it to the baby book!

day one hundred thirty.

I might be behind the next couple weeks.  cause all I can concentrate on doing at the moment is packing and painting.  packing, painting, painting, packing.  oh and also thrifting.  I need stuff.

well I have a lot of good pictures to share.

the first one being from our big game against metamora...which ended...cough...poorly.  but that's ok.  it was still a good night for football with perfect weather and red everywhere.

this picture was an accident.  I had it on manual focus, instead of auto, and this resulted.  it was a nice surprise.

show your spirit.


























yo yo potters.  love my little pommers - represent!
