Story time~

Today was very awesome because I hung out with my "wife" Amanda. We talked mostly about how old we are getting, how time flies, and her daughter is starting kindergarten! (we've known each other for 13 years now.. whoa.) She told me some exciting news. I trimmed her hair than we decided to go to a bar and she talked me into something I've NEVER done before. Karaoke. It was awesome! lol I didn't even get nervous and mind you this was once one of biggest fears, singing in front of people. I love singing so this was a issue. So today I leveled up in life! I conquered a small fear. :D I feel very accomplished.

Now on to why Amanda is amazing. First she is Heather's(my soul mate & best friend) sister. Or as she would say, Heather is her sister. :) The last day I spent with my mom, at the hospital dying in front of my eyes, Amanda sat by my side. She helped me function when I couldn't, she tried to to trick me into sleeping and eating for my own good. I was a mess. I was destroyed. she kept the pieces together. She is such a amazing person and I never feel like I will ever be able to repay her for such a amazing task and I'm bad with expressing feelings. So I will shout it to the internet world.  :)

I hope everyone of you has someone like that, that will stand with you when you can't stand. Those are amazing people. Be one of those people for your loved ones if you can. I'm so blessed and lucky to have that kind of love in my life.

August Break Day 15 - Books

This is the best book shelf ever because my boyfriend made custom made it. It started as two short book shelves. He screwed into the wall for extra support, since I have a book collecting problem.. lol There are three more tubs of books in the attic.

Share your favorite books here. :) I'm always looking for new ones to read. I love pretty much every thing except the mushy gushy romances.

August Break Day 07 - Skyline

I am some what late on this, its getting late and I have to be up early, which I'm terrible at. lol
Since I'm late I checked out the skylines others people in the August Break posted on the Flickr Group. Wow I'm just blown away! Amazing pictures! I encourage you to check it out. I'm also meeting some awesome people because of August Break, and I'm falling for flickr.com. lol So many amazing pictures and inspiration. I defiantly recommend trying it out.

I have a plethora of sky line pictures. I think everyone should try to capture one. Its a good reminder of how big life is.

This is the skyline comes from sitting on my dad's boat, and that is a crazy big cloud!

Skyline from Port Hope, MI <3 Lake Huron holds a permanent spot in my heart.

Detroit skyline, as seen from Belle Isle. I really really recommend you visit Belle isle, so much that I will being writing a post about it soon. lol

Walking to what felt like the skyline, in Port Sanilac, MI :D

This skyline fills me with joy because it means I am very close to my best friends home. <3

August break Day 05 - Close Up!

This one was fun and I learned a couple new things with my camera. :)

This one is my favorite because I didn't edit the photo at all. I figured out the zoom, and I feel I made this weed look very beautiful. :)

These are my bracelets I never take off, until they fall off. They all have a meaning behind them.

I have always loved the patterns of animal fur. Wood was my subject today.

More weeds made beautiful...

People are usually shocked by my palms. that's too many lines for such a young hand. I think I have just lived many lives. I want to go to a palm reader some day soon, just trying to find a legit one. If you know one, let me know. 

I call my hands the palm readers nightmare.

August Break Day 04 - Love

My favorite thing ever. I have so much of it. Im allowed to post 5 pictures.. only 5! <3 

This picture was taken on my 25th birthday, the day she moved away. It represents love because its my Best friend, soul mate, and true love of my life, Heather. Best kiss ever. I don't know what I'd do with out this girl.

 This is love because the dog, Bizket is now gone. The cat Lokii is still snuggling by my side, but we mis our love puppy. <3

 This lil' love is my niece, who is named after me, Mara.

This is my happiness love, kissing in Port Hope, MI. <3

This is my dad's backyard. and why its love, is because I can go there whenever I want, Its a hour drive, and we go for a boat ride, swim , swing on tire swing, or just relax outside. I can JUST BE. and I can bring whoever wants to go!

Love.

August Break day 03 - Yellow

I've really fallen in love with the August Break picture challenge. Its reminding me how much I love taking photos. I've learned three, new to me, photo editing and uploading programs, in three days. I am already learning so much and I just started this new adventure! <3

Usually I'm not a fan of the color yellow unless it's in a rainbow. But in the summer I sleep with this amazing quilt that was my mom's. It is mostly yellow on one side. But it's beautiful because it reminds me of my mother. :) It's handmade, one if a kind. :D

Do you have any yellow in your life?

So the only circles I saw today were the O's in the name!
