~My Amazing Life~

Doe has been a bad girl! It's been far too long since I posted and to you my followers, I apologize.  Have no fear, Doe is here!  Things are going to change with the blog, but just slightly.  When I started the blog I had thought that having days of the week specifically assigned to a general topic would help keep me on top of my posts.  What I found is that it makes me feel guilty for not having the time to post on a specific day and then I lose interest in 'catching up,' because doing so is exhausting.

So, Doe is back and with a new agenda!  The new plan, a minimum of one post per week and as many as I can interest myself in doing based on the amount of time I have.  I have had numerous things to post about latley but the thought of catching up just made me that much less interested in posting. 

This is the last time I neglect the blog because, I came back and have 10 new followers that are now probably wondering why in the world they followed me in the first place since, I mean its been 3 weeks since I even put up a post.

What has Doe been up to, might you ask.... well here are some of the things I have been filling my time with:
* Designing a shed for Critter & Myself
* Antiquing
* Laundry (exciting I know)
* Spending time with my nephew
* Updating my photo blog
* Watching Netflix with Critter
* Quality time with my hubby
* Trying out new recipes
* Editing photos
* Work...
* Having dinner with my sister's family
* Facebooking
* Online Scrapbooking of Critter's family tree scrapbook
* Organizing my newly inherited beadwork crafting collection
* Picking out Patterns to go with the fabric Critter's mom gave me
* Eating Healthier/Grocery Shopping
* Taking an hour walk every night after work
* Tupperware/Product Parties at friends' houses
* Dishes/Cleaning the Kitchen
* Going to church
* Spending time with friends & family
* Organizing Pantry/Cleaning out Fridge
* Donating the stuff in my Yard Sale bins in the garage to Goodwill
* Gathering design ideas and prep for a design plan for friends' gathering/meeting space in their office building

I know this all sounds so exciting, but to me, its happiness and well maybe a few of them are on your lists too but its amazing how quickly a day can go by when you are doing things you enjoy.  If only the time at work went as fast as the time off of work.  I throughly enjoy my life, I love my husband, I love our house and I love our life. 

...if I could only make a living from the happiness I get from living my life!  I need to work on that... I am sure it is possible!  If only I could earn the salary and benefits I currently earn by scrapbooking, crafting, sewing, gardening, building, designing, antiquing, refinishing, painting, cooking... oh hmmm Martha did it, and somehow I am sure there must be a way!



 Either way, I am blessed, God has guided me thru living a great life!  Amazing husband+amazing family+amazing friends+amazing home = outstanding life! Thank you God!

Thankful Thursday - Sunrise, Sunset

(Cold February 3rd Morning Sunrise)
God gives us the most amazing of gifts when we least expect them and yet exactly when we need them the most.  On my drive to work this morning I had to pull over and thank God for the unbelievable beauty he graced my morning with. I know the splendor only lasts for minutes and I didn't want to waste one more. Being the photographer that I am I always have my point n' shoot in my purse and getting images like this are exactly the reason I do it. 


Just when I was still reeling about the beautiful morning, God goes and does it again... yep, this was the sunset.  No words... I think this picture speaks for itself.  Thank you God for your awesomeness and giving us treats like this to brighten both our mornings and our evenings.
