I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a wife, mom, photographer.
Check out my photography... click here
and check out my husbands work... click here
I am not perfect by any means, but i pretend to be because it is hard to be transparent...i hate feeling judged. but transparent i will be. i struggle with jealousy, bitterness, envy and laziness. i want to hate other girls that i think are beautiful, i have a hard time trusting my husband - not for anything he has done, but just all the crap i have swirling around in my head and i sometimes wish i wasn't a mom. i complain a lot more than i am grateful and if i had the money i would probably be able to spend a thousand dollars on clothes that make me look good instead of feed someone who is starving to death(horrible i know), i am not a perfect person, BUT I AM A CHANGING PERSON. THERE IS A LOVE THAT INSPIRES ME TO LOVE.
I WANT TO LOVE.
i want to love you... and i don't want to merely tell you i love you, i want to show you with my life. i aspire to be compassionate, loving, true, genuine, humble, accepting, honest, encouraging, kind... a servant, a friend, a mother, and a mentor. daily. i have big dreams, and i have big things trying to hold me back. but i have something even bigger that's going to push me ahead. NOT FOR MYSELF, NOT FOR EYES, NOT FOR GLORY, NOT FOR POPULARITY, AND NOT FOR FAME. BUT FOR LOVE, FOR CHANGE, FOR HOPE, AND FOR PEOPLE.

My Interests

Jesus + my husband and daughter + Photography + Art +languages

Traveling- meeting people all over the world and learning so much from them... and i hope that i left them with even just a little of what they give me

Sweden and Norway + panda bears or polar bears

Orange fanta from a glass bottle with a straw(particularly somewhere in southamerica) + reading a magazine back to front + snowboarding + icecream + walking barefoot on green grass + tropical weather

Dancing and singing to great music in my apartment(even though i can't do either very well-except i'm a mean hip hop dancer and i never knew i had it in me)

Being in love + giving love + being loved back + making love + growing in love + choosing to love + love is good.

Ninjas + spray paint junkies

Sushi + salads + i do enjoy white russians..mmm + working out + hiking + camping +tennis + snorkeling(now if i could only figure out how to breathe under water)

Did i mention photography? PHOTOGRAPHY! there's something about capturing a mere second in time and it being able to tell a whole story. my favorite is capturing the real beauty of a person, a picture that tells of their soul and heart.

"CAN A PHOTOGRAPH STOP A WAR? CAN IT SAVE A LIFE? CAN IT LEAD TO UNDERSTANDING, INSPIRE SOMEONE TO HELP, PROVIDE COMFORT AND OPEN THE DOOR TO COMPASSION? HOPE THAT IT CAN. PRAY THAT IT CAN"
