Remembering

Remembering

Salty tears roll down my cheeks

But I don’t wipe them away.

Remembering.

Many nights I’ve lain awake

Remembering.

I let music sweep me away

To another place

Remembering.

I still see your smile

And long for your arms around me

Remembering.

I watch a mother and daughter pair

Shopping together

Remembering.

It used to be you and I

Inseparable.

Remembering.

Your voice used to sing

In melody with mine

Remembering.

Your hand, so gentle

Yet filled with strength

Remembering

Crying in your arms

Fear gripping my heart

Remembering

Your smile so brilliant

Remembering.

The concern on your face

When I would fall down as a child

Remembering.

The sweet smell of your embrace.

Remembering.

Clothed in wisdom and guidance

You spoke.

Remembering.

But then, lying there helpless

Thin and hairless

Remembering.

Courage shown through

In your beautiful eyes

Remembering.

Crying out to God

In the middle of a field

Remembering.

I wanted so desperately for him to save you

Remembering.

Family game nights and movie nights

You always made everything so fun.

Remembering.

Our hearts almost felt as one.

Remembering.

Saying goodbye to you

That sunny November day

Remembering.

I held my crying sister

As they drove your earthly body away.

Remembering.

The deepest sorrow

Gripped my heart

Remembering.

But peace and hope

And a little glimmer of light

Remembering.

You are still gone

So I’m caught here

Remembering.

Photobooks and Photography...

My dad is ALWAYS so hard to buy for... so this year, I decided to create a photo book of engagement photos that I took using the Shutterfly website. Luckily, they loved it!

If you want to take a peak, I linked it up below.

To view more of my photography you can go to my website EMAGES or become a fan of me on Facebook using the box I posted up at the top.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

What breaks are made of...

What are breaks made of?

Eating lots of food, sleeping until noon, and spending time with family...
That's what the best breaks are made of....

HI friends! Wow, I know it's been so long since I've updated my blog. College is done for this semester, so I'm extremely excited about that! The break has been just wonderful so far. I checked my final grades and I think I got A's all across the board... woohoo!

AND I just found out that I'm singing a solo in Cabaret at college in January - not sure about that date yet. Some of you might wonder what I'm singing... I'll give you a hint:

Yep, she sings it! Colors of the Wind is the song that I auditioned with, and apparently they thought it was good enough to sing during Cabaret. I'm really excited! But stinking nervous... I haven't done too many solos in my life. SCARY.


On a completely different note, I've been doing photography lately - trying to get my business up and running. I have an engagement session this Saturday, so that should be fun! Here are a few of my favorite shots from my dad's engagement session:

And now... I must go fill out more of an application that has been looming over my head for the past few weeks. :(

Blessings to you all! And Merry Christmas!
