FINALLY! Some pictures...

Well, even though I've had my camera for two weeks now, I haven't been able to take as many pictures as I want. I've been really busy with babysitting and working outside when I'm home. And then I'm trying to find time to actually LEARN how to use it properly. So, I finally did a photoshoot with rachel (haha... she knew that was coming). The one thing that would have been nice was if my reflector had come in... but they still turned out ok. The really annoying part is that she doesn't want me to post almost HALF of my favorites. =/ Bad Rachel. lol. If you want to see them I'll have to e-mail them to you. So, anyway, here are a few that she didn't mind. (I can't wait to get photoshop back!! Hopefully I'll be buying my macbook within the next month or so.) *crosses fingers*


Ok... well, this isn't reeeally a picture of Rachel... but close enough right? =P LoL, I was messing around with different angles on Stephen's car and somehow his shoe got in the veiwfinder instead... so i thought it looked cool and took a picture! (Josh's shoe is in the background in the picture below) Bet they never knew they were such good foot models! lol.

Ok, that looks a little bit more like rachel i guess.

Friends Forever

Friends are such a blessing! Recently we just had a formal Proverbs Brunch for the girls at our church. We all memorized a chapter in Proverbs and then recited it to everyone. It was really a great way to study Proverbs as well as fellowship together. After the food and recitation we all had a good time talking, taking pictures, and making memories.

Every time I think about my friends I realize how lucky I am to have them. Friends are such a blessing from God. I know I can count on them to be there for me no matter what. They help remind what a friend I have in Jesus. He's always there for me even when I feel like no one could forgive me for the things I've done. I can always look up to Him for comfort and support. But I praise Him every day for giving me extra helps in my life: my garden of friends.
