30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: Clouds

Today was a gorgeous, clear day with absolutely no clouds. I had to pull this pic (one of my firsts and favorites with my iPhone 4) from my camera roll. It was a gorgeous morning for volleyball that day.

Day 2: What I Wore

Nothing too fancy, went to coffee with a friend (and her new baby!) who I haven't seen in a while. Jeans, black top, black sweater and my blue hawaiian flower flip flops.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 1

Day 1: Self Portrait

I took this photo after getting my hair cut and straightened by the amazing Evelyn Drake. Like most people, I'm not a huge fan of photos of myself, but this one isn't bad ;)

30 Day Photo Challenge

Like I said, I'm trying to get better about blogging regularly. One of the things I've been wanting to try is a 30 day photo challenge. I think it would be fun to document specific things in our lives. For this challenge I'm going to use the inspiration below, as a specific challenge to my self, I'm going to try to do 99% of the photos with my cell phone. Maybe later down the road I'll do another challenge using mostly our fancy pants SLR

I'm Still Alive

Forgive me internet, it's been 3 months since my last blog post. I really am a horrible blogger. Thankfully, I'm pretty sure Randy is the only one who reads this anyway. If there is anyone out there, here's what you've missed:

• The end of kindergarten has come and gone for A, he's a big first grader starting in 14 days.
• My brother got married in May
• I celebrated my 2 year kidneyversary in July and hoping for 30+ more.
• Spent an awesome weekend with Staci and Angel on the lake
• A finished up a great season of tball and took a variety of small summer camps (baseball, cooking, rock climbing)
• I've been playing a decent amount of beach volleyball and looking forward to a tournament in September
• I was asked to talk to members of hospital clergy staff to share my transplant story and am on "hold" to speak at high schools this coming school year

Our family is heading to Tahoe this weekend with some newer friends of ours, definitely looking forward to relaxing and some time away from Santa Cruz. Also excited, nervous, unsure for some possibilities for the future, but all great adventures start out that way, right? Just gotta leave it to God.

So here's to another promise to try to get on this thing more often. I'm going to start out easy with a 30 day photo challenge which I'll describe in my next post.

Test post using mobile phone settings

Testing an app

Obviously it's been a long, long time since I last blogged. Part of my slacking can be blamed on just being lazy, the other part on never using a computer. A year ago R and A gave me an iPad for Mother's Day and it truly has become my primary "computer". I later found out Blogger just doesn't work with iPads. I could type it out in notes then copy and paste, but as I mentioned earlier, I was lazy. I finally bit the bullet and purchased an app called BloggerPlus. I'm hoping the ease of the app will get ne in to regular blogging... We'll see!
