PICTURES

Okay, so it's 10:30 am, I am awake, but bored out of my mind! So I have explored the sight, and decided that I want to add some pictures to this little blog of mine to spice it up a bit! First, I love taking pictures and I almost always have my camera with me anywhere I go. Over the summer I got a new camera, and it's the Olympus camera that is freeze-proof, shock-proof (up to 5 feet), crush-proof (up to 220 lbs)...and the best feature of all....it's WATERPROOF (up to 32 feet or some random number like that)!!! It is my favorite thing ever, and basically it means that nothing can stop me from taking a picture! I have taken it underwater, and it works amazing well and the pictures are very clear! It's probably my favorite thing that I own! So...onto some of my favorite people, and one of my favorite places....!

Right here are two of my very favorite people in life! My brother, who is one of my best friends ever, and Peyton Manning after he won the superbowl for my Colts! :) We have been born and raised Colts fans, so don't think we just jumped on when they were playing well...we've supported them through all of the bad years! (Oh...and I LOVE photoshop...so I edited this photo just to make it a little more fun!)

This picture is from my trip to Israel that I took in December of 2006. I was there for 11 days, and it was an awesome, and life changing trip for me. This was when our group went and got baptized in the Jordan River. (My pastor, Tyler, is the one on the right, I'm so glad he was there with me in this moment) Talk about an emotional experience...I can't even put into words how incredible it was. I think that if anyone gets the chance to go, you definately should!

These two lovely ladies with me are my roommates, Megan and Jessica! We just moved into a beautiful house together in August, and it's been fun times so far! They are wonderful for my life and I cherish them dearly!

This is Natalie. She is one of my best friends, and a huge inspiration to me! She started out as my youth pastor's (Tyler) wife, then we became friends, and now Tyler is the pastor at LaOtto Wesleyan Church, and I attend there. They are both wonderful people and I love them both!

Your Lady Cougars Women's Soccer Team!!!! Need I say more? I think not....! (Except...come out and support us at our games!)

This is my wonderful family! I love them all! My parents were my inspiration to become a teacher. My mother is a high school principal, while my father is a third grade teacher. I am very much like my dad, and we both act like 3rd graders. I hope that I can be as amazing of a teacher as he is when I get my own classroom!

Well, I think that is enough for now! I'll probably add more as time goes on, but we'll see! Just playing around with this thing to see how it goes and what fun stuff I can do!
