i'm not a photographer by any means, but i wish i was. i like to try my hand sometimes, and so here is a sample of what i've taken. this picture was shot in my front yard this spring. they are ferns that haven't opened yet. i think they are beautiful. someone once asked me what my dream job would be if i could do anything i wanted...i would be a traveling photographer for National Geographic. that is if i was a photographer, and if i wasn't married, and if i didn't want to have kids someday! i'd like to study it i think. learn more about angles and lighting and things like that. ash, i know you have an artist's eye for that...maybe you can give me some helpful hints. i never really asked you for that. but now i am! unfortunately, although autumn is my favorite season, and i had been looking forward to some fall hikes through the woods with my camera, the past 9 out of 10 days have been rain, almost non-stop! so at the peak of the season, i'm rained out. oh well...i made pumpkin pie instead. i like being domestic...i love the idea of making homemade pies and soups on cold rainy days. or making the house warm and cozy for my husband when he comes home from working outside. being a wife has been so fulfilling for me. i feel like i am living out the role designed for me. i have no desire to be a career woman. all i want is a husband and a family to raise. one down, one to go! i always joke with david whenever we hear of another friend who is pregnant, or see little babies looking so cute...i'm anxious to start our family, but david is a little more sensible and is helping me wait for the better timing.. david is the best husband i could have asked for. he is understanding and patient, loving and hilarious, gentle and strong. i was thinking today that i am more in love with him than i've ever been before. this tuesday the 18th will be the 10 month marker of our marriage. the best decision i've ever made!well, on this cool cloudy sunday afternoon, i think i will curl up with my Chronicles of Narnia. i finished The Silver Chair the other day, only one more to go! i hope you have a relaxing rest of the day!

Lar, reading your blog made me so happy! You definetely found the right one, what a special guy! And listen to you sounding all "wifey" he's a lucky guy! ;)
Love ya!
this is finally our favorite season isn't it?! remember seeing the seasons change last year at this time and wondering what the next year (married to David) would hold! what a precious time in our lives. i was just saying to joe yesterday how awesome it is to have the freedom and means to pack up the dogs, head to the dunes and race through the cold waters together...not a care in the world.
i would love to give you some tips. infact, i still have notes i can snail mail you from the class i taught last winter. there should be plenty of thoughts to get you started. you might want to consider buying some bulk film and investigating a mail-out processing company, so you can experiment with your photo skills. (i guess you could just buy a digital camera...but i won't do that yet). :)
love you, la.
if you and dave come out here in December, we'll pay for you guys to go see Chronicles with us!! :) what do ya say?
