Did this for one of my all time bestest girlfriends, who is expecting a girl soon...</div>

It matches the bedding they picked out - kudos to them for not hopping on the PINK PRINCESS bandwagon that has been shoved out there for lil girls recently...

As we sat there watching, we couldn't help but wonder WHO was behind doing SUCH an amazing and awesome job! All we could say was hats off to everyone that worked on this project and the History channel for always doing such a wonderful job on everything they do.<br />
<br />
Then yesterday our son's youth pastor (<i>Thanks J!</i>) let the hubs know that there was a story in this month's <a href="http://www.guideposts.org/" target="_blank">Guideposts</a> about the folks that worked to make this project come even further to life...<br />
<br />
Here is the article:<br />
<a href="http://www.guideposts.org/faith/stories-of-faith/the-bible-brought-to-life#.UTYD1sBmoPw.blogger">The Bible Brought to Life</a><br />
<br />
And here I sit today, after reading that article realizing that ultimately GOD was behind this project - The Holy Spirit is very much ALIVE and WELL and working in people EVERY DAY just like Roma Downey and her husband and all of the super folks that have been involved with The Bible Movie.<br />
<br />
I hope that millions of people - believers and non-believers alike will take the time to watch all of the installments of this movie and that it will impact each and every one of them in a positive way. All it takes is a mustard seed's worth of faith...For folks that don't enjoy reading, for folks that find the Bible hard to understand or translate, or for visual folks, or even for people that have known and studied the Bible their entire lives, this movie puts words to pictures and brings them to life in the RIGHT way.<br />
<br />
Being able to actually see the expressions on these actors faces actually brings us closer to putting ourselves in their sandals, which in turn should bring us closer to GOD. I also feel like, for many - myself included - that some of the emotions and feelings in this movie can help us to put sights and sounds behind what we read in the Bible in the future.<br />

I decided that it was time to make all my picture takin' start workin' just a lil for me...<br />
<br />
For months and months, I have been consumed with WHAT TO DO with my photography dabblings. I have folks ready for family portrait sessions, but the weather is WAY to crazy right now to do anything outside and everything is pretty gray and drab. I've got a few buddies with buns in the ovens, but they aren't far along enough yet for a session AND I don't have any weddings in sight.<br />
<br />
In efforts to manage my <a href="http://breakingthemonotonyoftime.blogspot.com/2012/01/creativity-add.html" target="_blank">CREATIVITY ADD</a> I decided to put some of my work out there on a stock image site. In a nutshell, this lets me upload stock photography for other folks to buy/download and I get compensated for it.<br />
<br />
After doing some research, <a href="http://www.dreamstime.com/" target="_blank">DREAMSTIME</a> was the winner. <br />
<br />
I'm really excited about this and super motivated...Everything is in God's hands and I'm praying that this step is one of many that I take to move my photography forward in a productive, positive way.Abigaylemaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12163982529409174677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1267129386621195829.post-22721664035444888752013-02-15T13:55:00.000-08:002013-02-15T13:55:10.751-08:00It's KELLER!

Keller is one of my absolute FAVES because he is all over the place musically...Bluegrass, Folk, Dub-Step, Jam, Alternative, Jazz, Funk, Electronica...(The list could keep on going). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He even just released a bunch of Grateful Dead covers solo on the piano for the Rex Foundation! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each Keller show is unique, FUN, and a guaranteed awesome experience that will leave you smiling for weeks. We had the pleasure of catching Keller at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem about a year ago and have been hooked ever since.</div>

YAY!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CHRISTmas is finally here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My blogs have been few and far in between here lately...Wedding photography gigs and home made Christmas gifts like this lil guy have consumed a ton of my time (but in a very good way).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of my son's teachers received these this morning:</div>

My very own original single crochet snowman ornament! In real life, the ornament is about the size of your hand and is incredibly friggin' cute! Each teacher also rec'd the above poem with their ornament.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope that everyone can experience the TRUE peace and joy that was meant to be experienced during this time of year and all year long in the new year to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merry CHRISTmas and God bless everyone :O)</div>

Last Sunday, I was BLESSED with the opportunity to take engagement pictures for some close friends of ours, Amelia and Jonathan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blessed, not only because this was my first actual engagement photo shoot, but because I was able to help Amelia and Jonathan capture a part of this very special time in their lives!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In less than one hour, I snapped over 160 shots...Here are some of my faves...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ENJOY! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a sun child all of my life and have always scoffed at the use of sunscreen (except for on my nose and cheeks). Who knows how many technical sunburns I had before I even turned 16...Definitely at least one good one a year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I turned 16, I started tanning...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the realization hit me...Holy SHIT you've been tanning for like 14 YEARS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And very heavily for like the past 5 because, let's face it (skin cancer concerns aside) a lunch time trip to the tanning bed is the BEST EVER. It has done WONDERS for my stress and attitude levels at work, not to mention the tanning bed has always seemed to CLEAR my skin up and gave me a nice caramel color to my otherwise white blandness. Ironically enough though, what has seemed to be helping me might have actually been HURTING me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah, that's a tough lump to swallow...Here's the nice little graphic that's making it even harder for me to swallow...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Pinterest...You really do have ALL kinds of shiz to look at...</div>

We LOVE camping and we LOVE the mountains.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After learning in early February that the Midtown Lodge (our FAVE hotel in Gatlinburg) had closed down, we decided that we couldn't cheat on the MTL by just picking another hotel. I mean aside from the Gatlinburg Inn (where Rocky Top was written) and the chairlift, the MTL was one of the last old Gatlinburg trademarks on that tiny little block. Everything else right there is new, bright, loud and flashy...I get it, but for some of us, sometimes progress isn't always such a grand thing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, to remain faithful to the MTL even in it's absence, we figured that since we love camping so much and we love the mountains so much, that we would just say skrew the whole hotel and staying in town deal and camp the ENTIRE week of our yearly mountain trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enter <a href="http://www.abcamping.com/abgatlinburg/" target="_blank">Adventure Bound Campground</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place seriously rocked...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It rocked so much, that we stayed THERE for 4 days before going into town. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only small trip out we made was to the Food City for groceries. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Literally on the side of the mountain, you have to trek up like 60-some stairs (Hud counted at one point) but it's totally worth the ride down. FUN for adults too, because the heavier you are, the faster you go...</div>

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY! </div>

Sooo happy that we had the trails and river to hike on at ABC - The weather was pretty rainy the week we were there, so my MUCH anticipated trip to Cades Cove got cancelled. It all worked out though, because the two sunniest days we had were spent on the water slide and whitewater rafting at <a href="http://www.smokymountainrafting.com/" target="_blank">Smoky Mountain Rafting!</a></div>

I would recommend ABC to anyone, any age, from anywhere. The staff are super nice and helpful and the facility itself just can't be beat. If the fact that a super-active on-the-go family of three can stay at the same place for FOUR days without leaving and have a BLAST doesn't say it all, I don't know what does...</div>

<br />
When life smacks you around from time to time, ya gotta do what ya gotta do...There's no since in being ill, miserable or sad. MAKE THE BEST of the situation...Life is WAY too short to spend it being an arse.<br />
<br />
Sooo, since we arrived in NMB at 11:30 pm and went straight to bed, I got up at the crack of dawn (before any work had to be done and we had to hit the road), I hit the beach for an inspirational sunrise....<br />

There is nothing more awesome than hearing a rooster crow at sunrise while sitting on your front porch early in the morning with a good cup of coffee and someone special! I really can't think of a better way to start the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have this pleasure every Saturday and Sunday thanks to Chris and Jorge (yes, that's pronounced "hor-hey" just like the name in Espanol). His name comes from a funny combination of his lineage and a Keller Williams song :O)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Jorge the rooster came to live with us at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/abby.faulkner.9#!/pages/Roads-En-Farm/207804762621966" target="_blank">REF</a> a few weeks ago. In a nutshell, we have eight hens and after a few months with no rooster around, they became depressed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>Enter Jorge...</em></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yep, he's the cock of the walk at REF. He is VERY protective of his ladies, but nice to people at the same time...My son can pet him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we have had chickens, nearly EVERY random conversation we've had with people always comes to....Don't yall have problems with snakes? Yall better watch it going and getting those eggs...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We live on a small farm...we have TONS of places for snakes WITHOUT chickens or eggs. Barns, sheds, ponds, woods, creeks and a river on our property. In ten years, I can count on one hand the number of snakes that I have actually SEEN on our property. NONE of those have been around the barns (knock on wood). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, YES...We are well aware that we have somewhat of a Club-Med for snakes. Hopefully they won't start realizing that...Then we will have more of an Auschwitz for snakes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Taking into consideration the fact that the area where our chickens are is VERY active almost around the clock is enough assurance that any random snakes won't come around. Goats, cows and a mule are around that coop 24/7...People, including kids are around that area everyday - sometimes multiple times a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Yeah, we're all still carefull, but when you have Jorge on patrol, the snake issue really doesn't bother me. Jorge averages killing a squirrel at least once a month. Yep...a squirrel a month. We have a ton of squirrels around too and we all know that squirrels are scavengers...Let me just say that both of the squirrels that attempted to snatch up some scratch corn were laid to rest in the floor of the chicken coop - They looked like they had been sprayed with some kind of pellet shot. Needless to say, Jorge proudly hovered over each one until it was removed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going forward, if anyone else wants to know, NO we haven't had snake issues and as long as Jorge is around I'm not going to stress too hard. If one rooster can take on and finish a friggin squirrel by himself, then I really don't think he would have a problem pecking the ever lovin daylights out of a snake.</div>

Wonder how many hot pots and pans these babies have held over the years...Think about all the meals that would have been cooked around them and all of the hands that prepared the meals. Also - these were brand spanking new at one time...Way back in the day someone treasured having these items in their kitchen...</div>

This isn't just a tribute to the "champagne of beers"...This is my Granny Miller's shelf! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See the smaller picture on the left? Yep that's her way back in the day (probably late 40s early 50s) on the side of the road in front of a MILLER beer billboard :O) The tin isn't vintage - its a remake I snagged at Buckhorn for like 2 bucks. It fit my lil shelf idea so well, I couldn't pass it up. The vintage Miller goblet to the left was a gift from one of my fave cousins by marriage...Thanks Lauren!</div>

Mmkay Buddy, no more Yoo-Hoo for you. That was Chris' sock monkey whom we rescued from his mother's attic a few months ago. If you have kids, you prolly recognize that hat...yep, Woody from Toy Story is letting Buddy the sock monkey borrow it for a while. Chris picked up the vintage Yoo-Hoo bottle at a yard sale and the chair too. The adorable older gentleman that we bought the chair from said he really couldn't remember how old it was, but it was really old because it has been around since he has.<br />

See - what if that chair could talk??<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Would it talk about all the arses that plopped down in it? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Would it talk about all the conversations it heard? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">What would it say about it's life?</span></div>

Long story short, I took care of <b>MAN </b>work on the farm a few weeks ago <b>ALONE </b>(all the menfolk were at their normal day jobs) and since Chris knew I'd been hot for an antique trunk of some sort, he randomly stumbled across this one at a flea market one Saturday and scooped it up to <b>THANK </b>me for my work :O)<br />

It's a turn of the century steamer trunk with the caster wheels on the bottom...The lock is broken, but that's okay it only adds character. I instantly wiped it off when he brought it in the house and put it to work! All of those albums are Chris' (he collects cool vinyl) and the red throw I lined the trunk with belonged to my Great-Grandmother Annie.</div>

He loves it so much, that it was displayed over our kitchen cabinets the day he brought it in.</div>
