I don't think people up north realize how blessed they are to be surrounded by so much beauty, I am getting my fall fix for sure. It has been my favorite season since I can remember. I love the cool crisp air, the bare trees and not feeling like you're going to have a hot flash when you drink your coffee. It's been a lazy couple of days, but at the same time it's nice to just relax. I've got to walk around the neighborhood and just enjoy everything that autumn has to bring and since I forgot my camera cord to upload my pictures my iphone will do just fine. I hope everyone enjoyed their black friday. I didn't go out this year and fight my way through the crowds and I think I won't for a couple more years, I enjoyed sleeping until 10 if you ask me. Remember to continue the season of thankfulness. Lets make it more then just one day! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We had a friend who knew some missionary's from costa coming into town and they were doing tattoo's to help raise money for back there. I couldn't pass up such an awesome way to get a tattoo. You can check out the couples blog <a href="http://blalockmissionaries.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Their names are Amanda and Brian and they are both extremely talented and incredibly sweet and loving people. <div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few pictures. My friend Amanda got a tattoo as well (I know so many Amanda's!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My tattoo says boundless, meaning I have no limits on my life. I am not bound to this world, and the fears and doubts that go along with it, but I have a freedom in Christ making anything possible. It is to remind me daily that I am a boundless women and I don't have to let fear and insecurity control my life. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I enjoy picking up my produce for the week and also walking around to the different booths they have. They had tons of animals this week! And because it's been a bit chilly we started our day off picking up some coffee. When we got down there we realized that there was other things going as well and we came across veggie fest where we picked up a vegan lunch. Over all it was a great day spent. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I needed something new to liven up the room a bit so I thought I would share my little DIY project here.<br />
<br />
First this is what you'll need:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LJEawsQUBc4/Tm1N-bTuldI/AAAAAAAAAW0/9qIHhccO85M/s1600/_MG_8994.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LJEawsQUBc4/Tm1N-bTuldI/AAAAAAAAAW0/9qIHhccO85M/s640/_MG_8994.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll also need a blank canvas to paper måché your map pieces too. I got mine from goodwill but you can also get them at any craft store.<br />
<br />
First:<br />
Cut out each state you want to use. I went for the states I've lived in but you can randomly choose them as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DGdAZR-Lo0/Tm1PRypR5jI/AAAAAAAAAW4/U1kT_evLrVg/s1600/_MG_8996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DGdAZR-Lo0/Tm1PRypR5jI/AAAAAAAAAW4/U1kT_evLrVg/s640/_MG_8996.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yc5nVpB-OMA/Tm1PVpEcS2I/AAAAAAAAAW8/xFZVkojytu4/s1600/_MG_9001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yc5nVpB-OMA/Tm1PVpEcS2I/AAAAAAAAAW8/xFZVkojytu4/s640/_MG_9001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgkd_msKeaA/Tm1PbZmmXPI/AAAAAAAAAXA/mRRmHjC5F-k/s1600/_MG_9013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgkd_msKeaA/Tm1PbZmmXPI/AAAAAAAAAXA/mRRmHjC5F-k/s640/_MG_9013.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next:<br />
Organize the pieces how you would like.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IR-7p2QUvFc/Tm1QYdTbbeI/AAAAAAAAAXE/8vD0A8I4FiE/s1600/_MG_9014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IR-7p2QUvFc/Tm1QYdTbbeI/AAAAAAAAAXE/8vD0A8I4FiE/s640/_MG_9014.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Last:<br />
Mix your glue and water together to glue down your pieces on your canvas!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EShITUoK-V4/Tm1RDjxN-1I/AAAAAAAAAXI/N6-KpBZ4RUE/s1600/_MG_9020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EShITUoK-V4/Tm1RDjxN-1I/AAAAAAAAAXI/N6-KpBZ4RUE/s640/_MG_9020.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And You're done! You have a cute new picture to hang to your liking.<br />

Being extremely broke this summer has meant that my diet has been flushed down the toilet, with everything I can buy with coupons or that is on sale. This usually means food that is not good for me in anyway. Anyone have any tips for eating healthy but inexpensive?<br />
<br />
I would love some watermelon right now, the only food I could eat none stop.<br />

I am done and finished with my crazy schedule of 19 credits, and live has slowed down this week to where I don't feel like I'm in the middle of chaos anymore.<br />
<br />
I enjoy telling stories and sharing more of who I am and what goes on in my life so I thought I would share with you all what has happened the first few weeks of summer. My first week I enjoyed a lovely trip up to DC with my boyfriend to visit my dad and brother. It was great to see my family, to spend my first week of summer away from Jacksonville where I had busted my butt off that semester. We spent our time sight-seeing and trying to find hidden gems to go eat at. Somehow I had consumed four burgers by the end of the week! I guess my cravings had kicked in after being a vegetarian for five months. We rapped up our week when the chaos began to happen.<br />
<br />
On our way home we decided we would drive through charlotte, SC so we could stop at Ikea. It was Dustin's first time wandering through the land of cheap furniture and three (maybe four) hours later we made our way out of the store and back onto the road. Time went on and we were about three hours from home. Just about to pass over the South Carolina boarder into Georgia when the one thing no one wants to see behind them happened. The dreaded police lights began flashing, a panic came across both of our faces as we took a few deep breathes and hoped that they would give us a warning and let us on our way. Well it turns out that Dustin had a suspended license for a ticket he had payed a couple of days late. I guess what had happened was that when he went to pay it, they had told him he would not have to reinstate his license because it wasn't that late, but of course he did. So to try to make a long story short they arrested him, took him to jail and I had to bail him out the next morning. I had to stay in the worst hotel imaginable (bug invested and everything) and this will be a story we will forever share with our families.<br />
<br />
Life began to change and Dustin had hit his final straw. God had been working with him these last few months how his life was about to change, which he thought would be a better job... but God always has something different in store for us. Dustin had made the decision to sell everything, including his car. Pay off his debts and fully dedicate his life and rely on God for everything. Within a week his whole life had changed, he had sold his car, following God in every way. His family did not have his back and to put it simply making it very difficult to follow God's calling, but he made it and God calmed the seas. He showed him the benefit of following him through everything.<br />
<br />
This is were I get emotional and so proud of him. God has placed a very special man in my life, he has respected me and loved me through everything. His heart is on fire for the Lord, and his kindness is so attractive to everyone. He's one of those people that no one minds being around and watching his obedience to the Lord is such a wonderful sight to see. After the chaos had settled, the car was sold, his family had calmed down, we were at church sunday. It was beach baptism that day at he asked if anyone wanted to get baptized at the end of the service. I looked over at him and he looked over at me, and we just knew that this was the day he would get baptized. Such a joyous day! I watched the love of my life proclaim his faith in front of a crowded beach. These were some of the pictures from it.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">The overwhelming feeling of being back in the States has yet to settle. And constantly revisiting what I felt and saw on this trip through questions from the ones I love leaves me feeling overwhelmed again, and again. So in an attempt to explain what I saw and felt on this trip I am creating this blog post. Because no matter how much I love my friends, it’s too much to handle the questions or even explain a glimpse of what happened on my trip to Haiti. So here’s my attempt.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Every story starts with a beginning and mine starts about six months before I journeyed over to Haiti. Sitting in the middle of a church service and thinking about how my spring break was not going to be spent with family since they had moved 100’s of miles away from me. I was thinking about how I would love to take a mission trip anywhere over my break and within those few moments they announced a Haiti mission trip over UNF’s spring break. I rushed to sign up and put my deposit down. Now lets fast-forward to this past week. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We left for Haiti last Sunday with each one of us not knowing what to expect and not knowing how God placed us in that group for a reason and how we each had our own purpose. The 20 of us made our way down to Fort Lauderdale where we waited in anticipation for our flight to leave bright and early the next morning. The anxiety rushed through me no matter how much I reminded myself to be calm; I was just excited and anxious to see what was going to happen that week. We made our way to the airport that morning on two hours of sleep, our relationships were not as built up as they would be, and more sleep was not far from our mind. I remember those first few moments when we could finally see Haiti from the air. Seeing the beautiful and the messy, the rolling hills and the flattened houses. I’m not sure if those were the moments when I knew that this trip would be incredible, or if I was still in shock that I was actually going to be in Haiti for a week, but either way those were the starting moments that lead into a trip that was unforgettable. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We landed at a little airport where the language was unfamiliar to most of us and our eyes bounced back and forth trying to take in everything we were seeing. Nothing like America; that’s for sure. We made it through customs and were greeted by a man name Carlos who we would come to love very quickly over the trip. We gathered our things and began the walk to the vehicles. Fencing surrounded us with a few people lined up by it from the other side, asking for money, and things of that sort. We loaded up the car’s and pilled in which would come to be one of the scariest drives of my life. The lack of lines on the road, the over amount of cars and bikes and the extreme use of honking horns flooded the city. We made our way out of the craziness and stayed on the bumpy roads to Love a Child Village. Two hours later we pulled into what would be our home for the next week. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We were welcomed and loved by the people of Love a Child. Of our group that had not been there before we weren’t expecting how incredibly nice the facilities were. We slept in tents, but they were not just any tents. We were blessed with air conditioning and cots to sleep on. We had a running toilet and showers to use. These may seem like small things, but in Haiti even the smallest things are like huge blessings. They gave us a tour of everything. We were shown the school, the warehouses, and the rest of what was there to see. Another group from Georgia joined us soon after and we ate together before we would start our day working. The first day was probably the most exhausting and overwhelming day for me. We were going off two hours of sleep, and being so new to everything I didn’t know where to start with taking it all in. I was on the paint team and our first day we were given the wrong paint to use. The frustration kicked in when we discovered that our sprayers didn’t work and the smell was enough to give everyone a headache. Trying to push through without falling sleep we made it and the right paint was found for our second day of painting. When we all wandered into the warehouse for dinner, a million thoughts were still going through my head and the realization that I was actually in Haiti had not kicked in. Everything felt so surreal; I still couldn’t believe I was there. There was no problem falling asleep, but staying asleep with the AC that ran all night long kept me curled up in a ball to try to keep warm. Now that I look back at the situation and how the enemy tried as hard as he could from God working through these first few situations. He did not defeat any of us, God kept us strong and showed us the realization of every situation through that week. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Day two we got started bright and early. We all gathered for breakfast at 5:30 ready to go work hard. I had still not caught up on any sleep but I was ready for whatever the day had in store for me. We started on painting and as time went on I ended up working alone. Everyone else had someone with them and here I was working alone, I was upset that I didn’t have anyone to talk to when God placed a conviction on my heart. He said, “Why can’t you talk to me.” In that moment I realized that I was focusing so much on what I didn’t have that I missed what I did have, alone time with God. From there on out my attitude changed and every moment out there spent alone or with others was a treat from God. The workday began to come to a close around 6:00, 6:30 and we headed back to Love a Child for dinner. We were in for a treat that evening when a group of us made our way over to the orphanage. What a joy those children were. You sit down and within seconds you are greeted with a little one sitting on your lap. I had a sweet little girl who didn’t say much but she was just darling. Even with the language barrier, I have never seen children worship God that way before. Their whole hearts were in it, their arms raised their eyes closed. Tears in some of their eyes as they prayed. How I so desperately wanted to know everything that they were saying, but just observing was enough to see the love of Christ that shown through their little hearts. It was in these beginning days that I started to realize how much of a blessing it was to have nothing. They rely solely on God; there are no distractions from all this stuff we have here in America. There wasn’t an attitude that I need more or want more, but that I have enough in Christ. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Day three was the middle of the week and probably one of the most humbling and peaceful days of my life. It was just enough time for everything to settle from the first couple of days and just have some time to process them and see how blessed we are as a nation in America. The chapter I read that morning before we started working was Philippians 4, and the verse I held on to that day was Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice.” I started my day off working alone again, but this time with a whole different attitude. I spent that morning praying, singing songs of praise, and just being reminded that the same power that conquered the grave lives in me. That God gave us the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and He is the one that has the patience, and the joy and the love that we could never have. Being reminded of that as I worked and praying about it and just feeling such a peace and a joy throughout the day showed how amazing it is that God can reveal so much on the most simple days.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There’s something about starting your day off with watching the sunrise. Just being reminded of how God created everything, and how beautiful his creation is. Thursday we did just that. We made our way up to the helicopter pad that morning and witnessed God’s beauty through a sunrise. We went out to work soon after and I decided to make the switch from painting to pushing gravel. I wanted to spend some time with girls on my team and I enjoyed having that time to be encouraged and get to know such lovely ladies. We had our laughs and our times of serious conversation and even accomplished catching a goat; which was an experience in itself. We had some of the Haitians help us with the catching. It was that evening that God blessed me with such an opportunity and I experienced one of the greatest moments in my life. We wanted to do some sort of worship thing that evening, but were lacking intstruments and music so we just went with it and boy it’s amazing what God can do. We did worship at the church there at Love a Child and found an old out of tune piano and the Georgia group brought a guitar with them. A guy on our team named Tom played guitar and God moved through everything that night. We didn’t have one song planned and I sang notes I’ve never sung before in my life. God has full credit for everything that happened that night. It’s amazing how when you let go of everything and rely on so little that God’s glory is shown the most. He is able to take full credit for everything that night and just to be apart of it was such an honor and a blessing. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The last day was bittersweet. I could not believe how fast the week went by. It was here and gone in what felt like seconds. The last day was packed full of what would be the most eye opening and life changing moments in my life. We first journeyed over to one of the mud hunt villages. Such a difference, nothing felt real and I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. Most of the children lacked clothing, and they were living in little tiny huts. To see the drastic difference from how we live to how they live really changes everything you ever thought mattered in life. We then went to camp hope, which is one of the tent cities there. My heart broke walking through there; words can’t even describe how I was feeling in those moments. No matter how much I write about this hour of my life it will not do justice to the actual situation. I will be forever changed by all of this. That evening when we were blessed by a visit from all the lovely children. We sang songs, and danced in celebration of four of our team members that were getting baptized. It was such a special moment for everyone and I was able to lead two more worship songs with the Haitians. All in all this was one of the greatest nights of my life on one of the greatest trips of my life. God blessed me with such a great opportunity that left my life forever changed. I have made such wonderful friendships, and learned so much in only a week. I can’t wait to head back hopefully sooner then later. </div><!--EndFragment-->Amanda Lenhardthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01722663525826921254noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247029054080143.post-84732057621104315462011-03-03T13:52:00.000-08:002011-03-03T13:52:01.514-08:00Attempted Film ShotsSo I've been trying to get a hang of this holga film camera I have, but I just haven't seemed to grasp it yet. I just got a role developed and even though some of them look kind of cool, it's just not want I was hoping for. Not one of them came out clear which is a problem. If anyone could give me some tips on getting good shots with it that would be awesome!<br />

We couldn't celebrate this Monday so we had an all day event Saturday full of little surprise and tasty treats.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed lunch first and then ventured around 5points where we got bubble tea, went in a few vintage and antique stores and then we drove over to another shopping area where he surprised me with a little painting at a shop called doing dishes. From there we ended our day at a very tasty restaurant called bonefish.<br />

TGIF thats for sure. Today is a relaxing day, probably take a stab at cooking up some stuff bell peppers and rent a couple of movies. The weeks are busy, the weekends are busy so I'm ready just to put my pj's on by five and sit around the house. Today I've got a crush on some lovely topshop clothes! If I hit my weight goal by june I will be splurging on some of the adorable clothes. I've lost 15 pounds this month, it's craziness. And the awesome, awesome thing about topshop is that they have a tall section! A girl being 6 feet tall getting things to be long enough is a challenge.<br />

Me and the boy thought we would try our take at ice skating and we didn't do to bad if I say so myself. We didn't fall which was a plus! The rink was crazy busy and there was almost a scare that we were not going to get skates but we did and I had a grand ol' time! We documented our day in little Iphone photos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTusszeiBgI/AAAAAAAAAJY/m4ZY998zVKM/s1600/IMG_1121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTusszeiBgI/AAAAAAAAAJY/m4ZY998zVKM/s400/IMG_1121.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTusszeiBgI/AAAAAAAAAJY/m4ZY998zVKM/s1600/IMG_1121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTusshRF-yI/AAAAAAAAAJU/_Si9EQbxc0s/s1600/IMG_1120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTusshRF-yI/AAAAAAAAAJU/_Si9EQbxc0s/s400/IMG_1120.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTussdsB9UI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/rix9YYDaJf4/s1600/IMG_1119.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeXO2xeRrjw/TTussdsB9UI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/rix9YYDaJf4/s400/IMG_1119.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I can take a few deep breaths before I get back to work with school and everything else in life. This friday I have baby fever! Noo, I'm not having a baby but I have a lovely friend who is expecting her first little one in April. I've been searching out a few things for her baby shower next month and it's all so adorable! She's having a little boy and is decorating her nursery in a pond theme with turtles and frogs and little critters like that. This is what I found that is too cute!<br />

My second Crush is the lovely, lovely sound of JJ Heller's CD <i>When I'm With You. </i>Her voice is lovely, the lyrics are thought filled and adorable. A couple duo of her husband and herself the music is incredible. I recommend picking up her CD on itunes our any store. She also has a blog herself: http://thelovelylittlethings.blogspot.com Here is one of her pretty songs.<br />

First we stopped by our local farmers market to pick up some fruit for the day where I acquired the larger piece of citrus fruit I have ever seen in my life.<br />

Weather it be a photographer, a season, a musician, clothes, and number of other things. This is my first I've got a Crush Friday! So here we go.<br />
<br />
My first crush is on these lovely lovely photos, by this lovely photographer. Recently I came across a photographer by the name of <a href="http://kylehale.net/">Kyle Hale</a>, and boy does he take beautiful photos. Here are some of my favorites<br />

If I could I would put ever picture of his up but these are a few of my favorite. I highly recommend going to his <a href="http://kylehale.net/">website</a> and <a href="http://kylehale.net/blog/">blog</a> and just looking through his photos. You will not be disappointed and how great he is at capturing the moment and emotion in his events. I wasn't even there and I can feel the love!<br />
Happy Friday you all. Enjoy the weekend and keep coming back from I've got a crush fridays.<br />
<br />
Love you all,<br />

I have seen the pattern though of setting new years resolutions and never sticking to them, but what better time to change that habit with this little blog of mine to keep me motivated and document the adventures and progress of goals and new starts.<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>learn to sew. I can't tell you how frustrating it is that I have yet to learn to do this. To be able to hem and sew things that they fit perfectly would be charming. I must first invest in a little sewing machine though!<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> Get healthy, get fit! Oh yes, the famous get in shape new years resolution and the one so easily dismissed and failed at but not this time! This is something me and the boy are going to try to accomplish together. Something that will be documented weekly here hopefully to keep us motivated and going strong. And we'll be sharing our weights... *gasp!* I'm excited to actually do this this year.<br />
<br />
<b>3. </b>Blog at least twice a week. As much fun as I'm having already I don't think this will be a problem. Look out blogging world, here comes Mandah!<br />
<br />
<b>4. </b>Get organized, and stay organized. Not having a whole house to myself means that everything is in my room. My craft stuff, my paints, my photography equipment, and everything in between. I want to make my room functional, clean and organized + making it a cute and creative place. Right now it's an array of stuff scattered everywhere in different plastics bins and so-forth.<br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> Make all A's and B's in my courses. This next semester I'm taking 19 credit hours, yikes! So I'll be a busy, busy bee working hard to keep this goal up.<br />
<br />
<b>6. </b>Photoshoots, photoshoots, and more photoshoots. My goal would be able to get in my first wedding the year of 2011 and put to use the new camera I just acquired. Updates will always be happening on new photoshoots that I get to be a part of and projects that I just want to do on my own<br />
<br />
<b>7.</b> Finishing a painting at least once a month. Painting is one of my loves and passions, but I never seem to stick to it enough or I put it last on my list so it never gets done. It's actually a huge stress reliever for me though so a little painting each month should be a great thing for other areas of my life.<br />
<br />
<b>8. </b>Giving up Caffeine or most of it. This will be a toughie because I do enjoy a little to much coffee, but I want to not rely so much of a cup of joe to get me going in the morning.<br />
<br />
<b>9. </b>Get a new tattoo. This isn't a much of a goal but more of a reward if I accomplish some of these goals up above. I've had a little idea in mind of a new tattoo this past year, something small but I've had my mind on it and would love to get it done one day<br />
<br />
<b>10.</b> Road trip some. I've got a few short day trips in mind and hopefully will be able to throw in a longer time in there sometime in 2011. This is more of a reward too for accomplishing my new years resolutions.<br />
<br />
Well hello new year, be nice. I am excited to start 2011 and see what is to come.<br />
<br />
I love you all my darling dears.<br />

It's a new year which means new starts, new goals, and new year resolutions. My heart has been set on starting a blog and what better time to start one then on a new year!<br />
<br />
Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Mandah, I'm at the old age of 19 and enjoy all things lovely. I'm a college student studying photography/fine arts and in the beginning stages of starting a photography company called Hey, I love you Photography Hence the blog title. Life has been changing quite a bit lately, living on my own with my parents hundreds of miles away. A new, but extremely darling boy that has decided to embark on my life and all the fun things life throws you on the journey of growing up. Why would I want to keep all this to myself?! Here will be my work, my stories, and everything in between. I don't plan on holding back and can't wait to keep blogging more! (I'm jumping in my skin with excitement as I type this)<br />

This was a special event. Getting to hear my lovely father sing the nation anthem at a local baseball game. And what's baseball without popcorn, yelling fans, and maybe the occasional fireworks.<br />

August 2010<br />
As I searched through my photos, August was a month that had very few and none really worthy of putting up, what a shame.<br />

These are just some of the pictures from over this year. I didn't want to bombard you with to many for the first post. I'm so excited to keep blogging and look forward to this new adventure.<br />
<br />
Love you all,<br />
