I Saw The Sun

Hello world! I am sorry for the lack of posts this past week. I tend to work a lot (taking double shifts when I am already passed the point of physical exhaustion) so it kind of got in the way of me taking any good pictures recently. I even slacked on Instagram, my favorite social website.

Another thing that kept me from my blogging is lack of anything to post about. I lead a boring life at times and that is when I hit a roadblock with my writing. So I have been searching for something to type about and came up with a few topics to keep me going for the next few days yay!!

Lucky me, I got an off day to go to the lake with my in laws. That means I have been in a lake 4 times this year. A new freaking record. I love to swim plus its a fun work out for the arms and legs. I didn't hesitate to go under as soon as it was deep enough. I can't describe the relaxing feeling you get when you are just bobbing in the water practically weightless. Until your little 8 year old buddy comes splashing towards you snapping you back to reality. It was nice getting to hang out with her for more than a couple of hours, along with the rest of the family.

I took some pictures towards the end. As much as I wanted to snap away at everything that was happening, I also wanted to live in the moment and not have my camera in my hand at every second. Although it pained me a little every time I visualized the perfect shots while "in the moment" I am okay to miss a few. Stepping back from the lens can't possibly hurt. I will put up the pictures as soon as I can get them edited like I want them to be.

Any last words before the summer is over?

A Few Fab Photos: Pool Party

Last weekend I practiced with taking photos during sunrise/sunset. It was pretty cool learning something new, but in the midst of that my little sister and I went to a little "pool party". It was just four of us but we had a good time.

This is my bestie Sam, the owner of that cutie dog named Rex. She invited us over for the party

My little sis had some swimming fun with Aden, my besties son.

She even showed off her little plankton tattoo.

I hope this weekend is just as fun. What are you're plans for this weekend? I mean it's a holiday so you must have something big planned lol :) Happy 4th of July!

Day 1 Done

Today was a good day, I spent some time with my lil sis at the lake! That will count as a check on our bucketlist:
 1. Go to the lake
yay!!

We went around lunch time and hung out with family and got our tan on. I know I don't quite seem to need a tan but the sun felt great on the skin and I did get a wee bit darker when it was all said and done.

We even brought the doggies with us! Zeus (the great dane pictured below lol) was not too thrilled about the water at first. He is the most skiddish dog I have ever seen. But he warmed up to it and actually jumped around in the water, splashing everyone in his wake lol. It was fun watching my mom in law scream as she was hit with the cold water.

My husband took the opportunity to get a little tan too. He usually just burns. That's our little cousin Mikey with his too-cool-for-school glasses on. My husbands chest is now super pink. I can only imagine the pain he will go through in the morning. I have never burned before, so I can exactly empathize but I'm figuring it is pretty painfully.

All in all a fun day. I had a great day off. I am even slightly proud of my tan lol. Now I am suffering from heat exhaustion and am ready to hit the sack. I will show you those anticipated pictures I've taken in my next post :) You're gunna love em!!
