Lots of Catching Up!

According to my name tag on the blog, it would appear as though my last post was.... in early December. 
Please accept my most sincere apology for that. 
We are desperately trying to get the blog up an running again, so in my own effort to restart, I'm going to go through my flickr and show you some of the photos that I've taken in the first half of the year.  That way, I can focus all of my upcoming posts on new things that are happening :)
Do be warned, six months is a long time, and this post will be VERY long.
During the last six months I:
Molded and painted chocolates. Babysat some adorable kids.

Forced my siblings to let me take a picture of all three of us.
I would have prefered all five, but that's like asking for daytime rain in the desert.


Made myself stand in the cold for pictures in a new dress.


Turned 20 with my brother and some awesome cakes made by my mom. (Katniss: Girl on Fire for me and a little Duck Dynasty humor for my brother)





Took what will probably be my forever-favorite picture of my brother. It just demonstrates his personality perfectly.


Started learning a new language with a new alphabet.




Took some new pictures of two of my friends.








Played with black and white to learn more about color.


Tried a few new things.


Played in Photoshop a little.


Took some portraits of one of my sorority sisters.


Took some [adorable] self-portraits.


Sent a note to heaven.


Got a little sad, and took pictures of it.


Watched spring creep in slowly...


and then take over full force.




More pictures of myself. I get a little bored sometimes.


Visited my sister in NC and took some pictures of my niece.




Took photos for my photography class.






Took some pictures of my friends who wanted "family pictures"


Forced my roommate outside so that I could get a few shots before they mowed the small field behind the dorms.




Did family pictures for a friend of mine and senior pictures for her sister.





Went to the senior dance concert at school (It was Fabulous!)


Created some cheesy images for my class portfolio.


Turned water into magic.



Helped some shelter puppies get adopted.




Moved into a new house and played with the lighting in my room.


Started a new blog that features the meals I make for myself as a first-time "responsible" grownup.
You can check it out here. I took a little break memorial weekend, but I'll be starting up again on monday.



Whew! Now I believe I am ready to really get back into this blog :)
