birthday, birthday!! and official grand opening of my blog!!

it is official! welcome to my blog! i hope you like it!

today is also my 29th birthday. if you love me, you should thank my mom and dad today, they are pretty good parents. especially my mom. her labor was short, but i was born at 3:30 am, so she didn't get much sleep that night and i'm sure for the next few months too. i cried a lot as a baby (sorry mom!) so she spent the next year holding me almost constantly. i don't cry as much now, although i do like being held still....hey, blame my mom, she spoiled me early!

i was trying to think of a good picture to post today and its kind of hard to decide...for my birthday hans' dad is giving me an online photo class, which i am very excited to sign up for. and hans gave me a speedlight (woot!) i guess he really wants me to take those inside pictures at the bull sale! i have no idea how to use it, yet, but i'm excited and i've already played around with it. so there should be many, many more photos posted on here!

so my christmas cacti bloomed right at christmas this year (like magic!) i really like these photos and i played around in photoshop a little bit....

here's the sooc (straight out of camera) i like it, my camera just shoots a little on the cool side.

so i warmed it up a bit...so bright and beautiful...

then i did this...not as bright, but i think it is a neat...

here's the next on sooc, i like this one a lot, just the way it is.

but i played with it too, just for fun.

so, there's a few more things on here for everyone to check out. i really hope you like it and please come back often! leave comments!! (i love comments!!)
