Day 13

Today was a typical work day.  Afterwards, I came home to read.  I really do love my nook like nothing else. :) I think it’s probably one of my Top 5 gifts…ever. :) Seriously love! :)

Day 12

This is all that’s left of our snow.  Which means I had to go to work today, however, I did get a 2 hour delay, which was wonderful. :) I even left a little early, to ensure that I didn’t hit any slick spots on the way home.  It was a nice, low-key day at work, and then just hanging out with Marc at home. :)

Day 11

I know this photo is really dark, but that’s my Paisley running around in the snow.  It’s a picture of pure joy!  We woke up this morning to white roads…not so much snow-covered everything, but it did keep us home from work.  Which I was overjoyed with! :) We slept in, then went for a walk with the dogs over to my Mama and Daddy’s house so they could play with Elixer and Roxy.  They had so much fun running around.  Then, I spent the afternoon taking down most of my Christmas decorations.  Sad to see them go…

Day 10

This is snow falling.  This is also well past noon, which is when the weather people said we would be getting snow.  This is much closer to 7:00-8:00.  But that’s okay.  It was pretty as it was coming down, and I thought this was a neat photo. :) I love snow!! :)

Day 9

That’s how cold it was when I drove to church today.  Seriously – too cold for my preference! :) I worked the multi-media at church this morning.  After church, Marc and I spent the afternoon just relaxing around the house.  Perfect Sunday. :)

Day 8

This is the exhaust from a Chevrolet truck in my hometown.  Yep – they were in the shape of the Chevrolet “bowtie.”  And they were seriously awful.  As you can tell, it’s bent.  Both of them were, this one just wasn’t as bad.  This was the first time I’d ever seen exhaust pipes that looked like this, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a picture. :) Other than that, Marc and I went to Wal-Mart to stock our kitchen.  Then, we went to dinner & a movie with friends. ;) Fun day!

Day 7

Okay, I couldn’t pick just one photo from this day.  Marc’s friends from high school do this every year.  They collect Christmas trees after they’ve been thrown out from friends and family and then they have a huge Christmas tree fire.  The first picture is from right after the whole pile caught on fire.  It was MASSIVE.  I mean, I can’t even try to do it justice.  The second photo – I just think it’s cool. :) It’s a close up of the trees as they’re burning.  You can see their skeletons.

Day 6

We had such a lovely evening!  It was great!! :) I spent my evening watching television (watching Big Bang Theory) and reading American Wife on my nook.  My nook is probably one of my favorite presents I’ve ever received. LOVE it! :)

Day 5

Doesn’t this just look yummy?  One of our Christmas gatherings was cancelled because it snowed Christmas and the day after.  So, my Mama had all this food that she needed to use before it went bad.  Lucky for Marc and myself, we got to enjoy some of it! :) She made this great twice baked potato casserole, so Marc and I added rotisserie chicken and broccoli and cheese. :) It was sooo good! :)

Day 4

Today was a typical work day for me.  Spent the majority of the day at work, then I went to dinner with March.  After that, I came home to fold a mountain of laundry.  This is the finished product…it’s MUCH more appealing than the pile it was before. :)

Day 3

This is what my day consisted of…getting back into work.  I had a hard time getting my brain to transition into work-mode after the holidays.  The day was definitely long, but that’s okay.  However, I did decide over Christmas that I would rather enjoy being a stay at home mom.  I know it’s hard work, but oh, the joy of being able to do crafts and clean and cook throughout the day, instead of trying to stuff all of those activities into the evening and weekend hours.  Oh, well…I can dream! :)

Day 2

We drove home from Beaufort, and this is the view on the way out.  It was a gray, overcast, foggy afternoon…kind of matched my mood.  I didn’t want to leave!  I love this little boat, though…braving the weather to be on the water.  I’m already longing to return to this little piece of heaven on earth. :)

Day 1

We spent New Years in Beaufort, NC with our friends.  This is Marc and I at the New Year’s Party. We had a great time dancing, playing corn hole, watching the Ball in NYC drop, toasting to friends, and a kiss from my love at midnight. :) It was our second year to celebrate in Beaufort, and it was nice to get away for a few days to relax before the new year starts. :)

Welcome!

Hi, everyone!  Since about the middle of 2010, I have really wanted to participate in Project 365, but I wanted a concrete date to use. So, one of my goals for 2011 is to make sure I document a year of my life in photos.  Those photos will be published here.  While I may not actually publish them daily, I will make sure to take photos daily. :)

Here’s the concept:

"Project 365 is the act of taking or using a picture every day for a year, forcing an individual to slow down and take a different look at the world around them."
Basic Rules/Tips:
1. Bring Your Camera Everywhere
2. Try to capture the day’s events in a single photo.
3. Tell a Story
4. Don’t Stop, No Matter What!

Start date: January 1, 2011

End date: December 31, 2011

So, I hope you enjoy my journey! :)
