I Love Her!!

Rebecca & Deanna

This photo shoot actually happened last summer...and I just realized today that I never posted the pictures on here! These beautiful young women are my third cousins and we have been close friends for years. They are both super-photogenic.....they love being together....and altogether we had such a wonderful time!

Love you girls!

In October I photographed the wedding of my cousin Jon & his lovely wife, Mary. They had a gorgeous wedding in Colorado.....and they were so much fun to photograph! 

Congratulations, Jon & Mary! Love you guys! 

My Blog Birthday!

Yes, its true.....as of December 22, this little blog has now existed for a year! I know what you all are thinking: at times it has barely "existed" but I never intended to let the blogging world run my life and I haven't changed my mind! :)

All that said....I love to write and I love photography and I have really enjoyed this place where I can do/share both!

I also love comments, so I'm calling all lurkers (and non-lurkers, of course!) to comment and say who you are! And I would love to hear how you found out about the Daughter with a Vision blog!

Let the commenting begin..... *smile*

Congratulations, Dan & Bethany!

Be Thankful

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

Colossians 3:15

~~~~~~~~~

Today I am thankful for my Savior, the life He has given me, and the price He has paid for me on the cross. I am thankful for my wonderful family and the joy they bring me every day. I am thankful for life on the farm! I am thankful for old books, the smell of coffee, hugs, sticky fingers, wet little sister kisses, the beauty of the world I live in, dirty-and-then-later-clean piles of laundry, a godly heritage,  rich promises found in God's Word, the amazing host of cousins and uncles/aunts that I am blessed with, old journals that chronicle the story of my journey through life and all God is teaching me, letters from my grandma, rich teaching and insight from men and women of God, fresh cookies, Christmas music, freedom to worship my King whenever and wherever, my dream-come-true piano that I enjoy every day, babies, morning walks, courageous men who fought and died for the freedoms that surround me every day, sweet emails from friends across the miles, my grandparents, friends, family....and the joy of living in my Father's World!

Remember to be thankful...in all things! Treasure the small moments....and treasure life! 

Update!!!

I know I have been absent from here for quite some time, and probably will continue to be in the near future. I am working on some other commitments right now that require minimal computer time....so just so ya'll know what is going on, I thought I would explain! :) Check back in November/December!
