Day 29

Up & Up:




Definitely one of my favorites so far in this challenge!
Taken in Phoenix at my family Christmas party!  Just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Day 28

PV Cityscape:


This is a view of PV!
This is one of those pictures that does not adequately describe what is actually being photographed.  Oh well, it was worth a shot (no pun intended)

Day 27

Kramer Clause:



Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
Kramer taking a little nap right on top of my presents on Christmas morning!!!  He just wanted to be a part of all the action!

Day 26

The ginger bread houses:



Every year the resorts hosts a ginger bread making contest for whoever wants to enter!  Some of the houses are incredible!!!  It's a fun Christmas tradition to go visit them.  (I have seen them 3 times in the past 3 days!)

Day 25

Heidi:



My aunt got a new German Shepard puppy named Heidi!  She is the most calm puppy I think I have ever seen.

Day 24

Green:




Can you tell what this is?
I really enjoy pictures of things that you aren't really sure of what it is.  They can be very creative and you have to use your imagination.  Hopefully you can figure this one out.

Day 16

Happy Birthday Dad:








A delayed birthday gift for my Dad!  As you would guess, George W. is a big deal in TX so I thought it would be a good present!  He is such a big deal that apparently the day the book came out, a principle at a local high school let kids ditch school to go buy the book.

Day 14 & 15

(I forgot to take a pic on day 14, but day 15 was epic so here are two for that day)

Take pleasure in the simple personal wins!
This was not a very artsy fartsy photo for me but it was a big accomplishment of my day!  I am almost finished looking over 120 Spanish transcripts that I have been working on for a Professor all semester long!  It was a huge feat for me so I thought it was photo worthy!

Day 1

Hello World!


Attempt at writing a blog #3!  But this time I really have to stick to it!


A dear friend of mine, who I like to call Boss Betty, started her very own picture challenge a few days ago and asked me to do it with her...but I said no.  Then last night after having a long, late night conversation with another dear friend of mine, who I like to call Nessy. told me that her life was boring.  I then decided that she needed to know about the 365 picture challenge because then she would see that her life really is not boring and that it would challenge her to be more creative in her everyday.  Thus I inspired myself to take part of this hopefully insightful, creative, invigorating challenge to spice up my life a little bit!


So for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about here is my spiel...  The 365 day picture challenge was started by some guy (sadly I don't have a fun name for him) who decided to take a picture everyday in hopes of becoming a better photographer and a year later remember parts of his life through pictures.  So now my challenge is to do the same, along with 2 of my great friends!  I will be taking photos of my life everyday for the next year, even if my day has seemed boring I will be forced to capture something and then blog a little bit about it each day.  This next year I have so much to look forward to and I am really excited about this experience.


So here it goes...DAY ONE!!!


Pumpkin Pie and Christmas Lights:  
Today when I got home from school I was tired, opened up the fridge, found some left over pumpkin pie from Thanksgiving and decided that it was the perfect picture op for the start of my challenge.  Its the end of November, stuck right between 2 holidays!
