Music Monday: Issue 11

I am sitting in a hotel in Austin on my first day of domestic engireering (or unemployment as Clayton so sweetly calls it!) and this song was playing in the lobby.  I love this song!




Still lots to catch everyone up on...but now I should have the time :)

Happy Monday to you!

Music Monday: Issue 10

It snowed in Texas yesterday!  Snowed enough that I didn't have to go to work today.  Well I was supposed to go in around 10:00 but in East Texas the roads were still too bad for me to drive on.  So I worked this morning from home.  And while I was thinking of a song for Music Monday this one came to mind...it's such a pretty song, I think fitting for a white snowy day!




Enjoy :)

Maria's 365 Part Two

I've decided to start another blog to keep up with my Project 365.  You can visit it by going to http://maria365project.blogspot.com/ I do want to do a monthly update though on this site...just have to figure out what format to put it all into.  Follow along and please share any photos you have taken!

Maria's 365

I've decided to take part in Project 365.  I first heard about it here!  But once you start googling Project 365 you get a ton of amazing sites.  Basically the goal is to take a picture of a moment in your life every day for one year.  And since Clayton and I gifted each other this beauty for Christmas...I think this is the perfect project to help me learn how to use the camera!

Luckily I learned about Project 365 on January 3rd and had already taken pictures on January 1st and 2nd.  But of course you can start your Project 365 any day of the year!

I am still trying to figure out the best way to post my Project 365 pictures, I think I might set up a seperate blog and then do a monthly roundup on this blog.  Would that work?  Or is there a better way?  Regardless, here are my first few days of photos.



January 1 - Early New Years Eve with friends



January 2 - A chicken seriously crossing the road in Oak Cliff



January 3 - An evening walk with our furbabies



January 4 - Mattison waiting patiently to see if Dad will give her any stove scraps



January 5 - Handsome Turco cat

 My photography skills are not that great, yet...I really love taking photographs though!  Maybe I need to do some editing as well, the chicken might look better cropped and as the main focus.  What about you?  Will you be participating in Project 365?

Music Monday: Issue 9

I am sorry. I am a blog failure. I had such high hopes for keeping everyone updated on life and our big move to Mineola. Then, life happened! And I have HORRIBLE time management skills. I have every intention of updating you on all our busyness SOON (someone, please hold me to this!) But I wanted to get in a Music Monday for my girl Rachel....go visit her! She is super smart and her blog is full of amazing insights.





I really enjoy this song, I hope you will too. Have a great Monday!!
