Barefoot Tootsies

So lately I have been finding myself obsessed with anything WWII and 1940s...so naturally I was overly excited about dressing up for our annual Harvest Party (we don't do Halloween). After many ideas that came and went, I finally settled on "WWII agent", and ideas and grand plans started whirling around my head immediately, Goodwill here I come.      I started by combing every Goodwill store for suits that would match this particular time period. I came up with a beautifully colored pant suit, which fit me well enough.   Of course I should also mention that I don't wear pants...ugh...first road block.  The transforming of the slacks into a pencil skirt was perfect, and after many adjustings and slips to cover up unseemly lines and lumps, we did it!! The shoes...ah...the shoes...this is a very long story, but to shorten it I will just say that I had been looking for them for months, I wanted a pair that were nice, American made, non 3 inch...

Yesterday evening ended with one of the most beautiful displays of color, cloud and light I have ever seen. (earlier that evening) Hopping onto my bike, and calling my little brother Timothy to do likewise, I mentally debated on whether I should bring my camera with me, the evening was nothing special, the end of a tortuously hot day, and a breeze was finally making the weather bearable.   As I began pedaling out of the driveway, my Always Be Prepared side kept nagging, and I knew I had made a mistake the minute my Lazy/Scared to Break My Camera Side kicked in and told me it was no big deal. I shrugged, I should spend time with Timothy anyway. The bike ride started off weird. A truck was parked on the side of the road, I figured they were late fishers and would leave us alone. I glanced behind me, making sure Timothy was still on his bike and safe,  I really don't like him riding behind me. When I looked back around, the fishers were boarding their vehicle. I loo...

Discovering ones self is an exciting adventure, in which the participants are constantly being awed, intrigued, amazed, and disgusted. You find yourself liking certain things that you never even thought about as a younger child: Like what clothes to wear, or what food to eat, or what books and movies to watch. Finding how much you love something so much and don't know how you din't see it before, like a style of skirt or a kind of bread. simple things such as that that all my life until now, I have let my mother take care of for me. And now. Now I want to be in control. Now I want to express myself wholly and completely. Express my true self and what has been lying dormant for so many years. I want to be a photographer, and I want to start a business called "Barefoot Photography". I love high wasted skirts and full blouses. I love teal and other earthy colors such as green and brown. I love my fuzzy curly wild hair. I embrace my life as a simple farmgirl. A...

Thursday morning at 3:23 AM, a very dear friend of mine gave birth to a beautiful baby girl: Rosalie Elizabeth Lusk, she is 7LBs 8oz and 21in long. Jared and Rachel lovingly adoring their new little bundle of joy!! Mama holding baby Rosalie. 

So...yeah...the title says it all. I'm sixteen, and waiting for the ball to start rolling...and waiting...and waiting. You all should know, I've never been a patient person, three weeks is way to long to wait for me. I just pulled out my favorite Disney movie the other day: Sleeping Beauty. I just about chocked on my popcorn when I realized that she   is only fifteen when she is dancing and singing through the woods (I also would like to know her secret for sounding and looking like she is thirty). And I also noticed that after meeting Phillip and dancing with him for a bit, she lets him drape his arm around her shoulder like they are old lovers, it would be safe to guess that I was choking on my popcorn an awful lot as several more things became clear. In other words, the whole point of me bringing that up is that...sixteen isn't in any way how they show it in the movies (or even books for that matter). In my distant childhood daydreams, at this time in my life ...

  the Daffodils are up and blooming!! unfortunately living in the woods makes us the last people to have our flowers actually bloom.      messing with shutter speed, made it kinda look dark and mysterious with the faster shutter speed.      I love playing with aperture!!     personal favorite here!! ;P     just to show how green it is FINALLY getting!!     (A/N) All the following photos are from Easter Sunday at Church.     super fast shutter speed was popular among the younger kids!!     what I failed to catch on camera was there epic fall...darn...why do I always miss the "good stuff"     this is one of the million 'jumping off the rock wall' pictures that I took on Sunday.     when you have friends in martial arts...lol...im pretty proud of this one!!
