Pictures

Hey I've got some pics of Olivia on snapfish but I dont have you guys emails! So if you want to see my adorable niece, gimme your email and I will send em!!!

that's all i've got of my sweetie neice...I am sure April will surface with some when she is feeling up to! I am sure me calling her and keep begging for pics isn't helping.

I put up new photos on mi otro blog.

SHE'S HERE!!

Olivia Grace Hawbaker is here!!

8 pounds 11 ounces and 20 1/2 inches.
Joel said she's the exact same weight and height as Carly, but she has less hair on her head than Carly did. It's still dark. And everybody says she looks JUST LIKE Carly when Carly was born.

YAY for the Miracle of Birth!!!!

Yay!!!

This time next week I will have another niece!!

I am SOOO EXCITED!!!!

Oooh how I wish I could hold her, but I will Carly do it instead. :) She's gonna be such a good helper, Apes. I am praying that she can adjust well to another person getting attention. And if not, send her here and I will stuff her with swiss cake rolls. :)

Friends are friends forever...

Wayull...We've lived here 2 years and I am finally making some girl friends!!

Camera shy

I can't explain how I feel when I am behind a camera, but I love it. It's something so personal to me. When I am behind a camera I am able to capture the world as I see it. I think I see things a little differently than a majority of the people. I look at my homework spread out across the table and I think "wow, that's a cool composition", so I take a picture of it. I like the way my sandwich looks when I have taken a bite out of it...so I snap a picture. I think I see things differently. I also feel sort of vulnerable behind a camera. I don't want people to see me behind it. I feel embarrassed. Like somebody is reading my journal and gathering all my most precious thoughts. I don't like it. But I love it. Make sense?

I think I am going to try and find a photography school instead of pursuing psychology. Jojo, Dad, Maclaren, Mattie and the rest of my fam talked me into it. If taking pics is what I love, then why am I kidding myself by trying something else?

And then at the same time I try and talk myself out of this...why? I don't think I can capture photos of people very well.

But so what? WHo says I have to take pics of people? And who says I can' improve?

I'm just talking to myself here.

I thought I had lost one of my most favorite cd's and today after MONTHS of looking for it, I found it. I am ecstatic.
