Nigeria Countdown - 2 days!

Schools out, summer has begun, and only 2 more days until I leave for Africa! I am so excited! I just wanted to thank all of the wonderful people in my life who have supported me financially and prayerfully throughout this whole process... and it is finally here! Just to give you all an update, we're leaving Wednesday night and we'll be back around mid-June. I will have internet access around Friday/Saturday to send an email out letting my family know that I am safe >>> I'll try to post that letter here as well. I'm really excited slash nervous slash anxious slash stressed about the whole process so please keep me in your prayers.

p.s. I just moved to Santa Clarita and here is a polaroid of the sunset from the backyard -enjoy =)

Landon Turns 5!

So, as finals are coming to a close I have had more time to dabble in the things that I've always wanted to do... and one of those things is photoshop! I honestly have no idea what I'm doing but I have all these ideas in my head so it is a little frustrating to translate what I see in my head on the screen but its coming along =) Here is the first semi-finished product of my first project. This is a mixed media print of my littlest brother, Landon - isn't he precious?! He just turned 5 years old and this may be a bday present for him - if I ever finish! What do you think??

I'm on a boat!

Andy and I went to a 'vintage hollywood' themed banquet on the Queen Mary this weekend.
