A picture is worth a thousand words... so here's a few...

When I think about photography I think about...


















and all of the 69,599 photos I have taken and the places those photos have taken me. This is who I am.

Writing? What the heck?

I was just looking at my blog and thinking... why on earth is there so much writing and so few pictures? Granted, I may have more pictures than the average person... but to have several posts that have a couple pages of just writing? I think I may have just discovered something new about myself. Actually, I knew it all along I've just never done anything about it. I really do like writing, but only when I can do it like this. Just ramble on and not care if I am making complete sentences, if it makes sense or if I am going to get an A or if I am covering the right topic and sticking to my thesis. I just like writing.

Right along that line is that I love handwriting. I love copying other people's handwriting and making mine look cuter or neater or crazier depending on the day. There are some days I have a craving to just write, not to actually write sentences and stories, but to put my pen (not pencil) to paper and make beautiful letters. Our Bishop's wife, in one of her lessons, told us that if we had any free time we should write the phrase "It is better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent" a hundred times. So... I did. I wrote it 100 times in many different handwriting styles. It was so much fun!

I think this blog has been very good for me, in that I can write when I want to and I can just show off gorgeous or unique pictures when I want to. It really doesn't matter.

Actually, tonight I was going to write about a ridiculous 2 hour meeting I went to at work today and how I think people should just learn to be adults and work when they are at work. But, I was looking at other people's blogs and looking at mine and I changed my mind. It was probably a good thing because that would have been really boring and probably would have made me even more frustrated about it, but now that I have made a self-discovery or re-discovery I am a lot happier and I won't weigh down anyone who reads this with my thoughts about work ethic.

Looking back at this post I realize I have completely proven my point that I really like to write and ramble. Even now, I really don't have much more to say but I am still writing just because it is fun to write out what I am thinking. Then I think it is kind of scary when people can literally read your thoughts... Oh well!

In contrast to the above, I will let you know that you should be expecting a photo post coming soon. I am going to see if I can tell the story of my thoughts through photos I have already taken... we'll see how it goes. Good Night!
