We Won!!!

My Volleyball Team Won the Championship! this is a little late since the championship game was last week! We went into the tournament in the third seed and we were up against two teams we couldn't beat during the season, but we pulled through and managed to win EVERY GAME in the tournaments! some games we won by alot, one game we only won by two points! But it was a great experience and one that I'll remember!

Tim and Matthew keeping life interesting

Well according to my big sister I need to update my blog! Life's been crazy!

Here's some of my latest shots/edits. In most of these pictures I messed with the colors, lightened areas, darkened areas, removed objects! I LOVE editing my photography!

First Game of the Season

My first Volleyball game was last night! Champ vs. Nampa Calvary, We played best 3 out of 5
game 1 Champ won
game 2 Champ won
game 3 Nampa Calvary won
game 4 Nampa won
game 5 Nampa took it home
MATCH Nampa won the match by 3 points!!

I'm really not that upset though we all worked very hard and we're still working out the kinks! But this team has always been our biggest challenge in the past and we always pulled through and managed to win it! last night was kinda tough! That's OK it'll make us want the next one even more! :)

Volleyball

Volleyball started last week and we had our first scrimmage yesterday! This was my first game being setter for varsity! I could barely eat breakfast and I only snacked for lunch because I was soooo nervous! I didn't know what to expect. While me and a couple of other team mates were watching the jv game one of them was trying to reassure me that it was easy and I was gonna do fine, and the other one says " no it's not easy and I'm really glad YOUR doing it and not me, but You'll do fine! ..... " Thanks Hannah I feel much better now".:) she just laughed.
Since it was just a scrimmage we didn't actually finish the game cause we ran out of time! So It ended up being a Tie!
They won two matches we won two matches! ohh well :)

A Wedding

This was my first official photography job :) not really, it was really low-key but she did pay me so I guess it counts. This was a couple that actually got married in Florida and wanted to have a wedding reception back home where all their friends and Family could make it. It was beautiful! It was held in the Bride's mom's backyard which is gorgeous! It was really good experience for me!

your look!!

These pictures crack me up because these were all taken the same day and each person seems to be giving "their look" just meaning they make that face alot! :) just thought I'd share these!

At Girls Sr. High camp this month I was in a discussion group with three other girls. We basically just talked about what God revealed to each of us individually, and one particular time we had just gotten done with a session and we were talking. We realized that God really spoke the same message to all of us through that passage and that was that nothing is too small for God! sometimes people struggle with thinking things are too BIG for God and after hearing over and over again that NOTHING is too big for God we start to believe the opposite. That God doesn't care about the little things in our life like if we're feeling angry or upset we figure God is too busy dealing with "the big stuff" And God told each one of us girls that if we want to have a good relationship with God we have to let him into every aspect of our lives! That encouraged me so much! how wonderful that we have a God so loving and caring!

These are some of my latest edits. They're kinda weird but hey so am I! Volleyball started yesterday morning at 7:00 AM yeah! and again this morning at the same time so I can barely move I'm so sore:)don't have any pictures of that yet though :)

Girls Camp

We had a girls camp this week it was Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning and it was so fun and encouraging! The biggest things I pulled out of it was: nothing is too small for God, God is our first love and the Bible is our first love letter!and We allow the world to tell us tons of stupid lies.
It was absolutely amazing how we all bonded so fast there wasn't one trouble maker in the lot of us! Everyone was patient, Loving, including :) We also played tons of games that were a blast we had a huge scavenger hunt outside and we played a game called "the HA game" and "the crazy Bible game" which Deisha made up and we played moffia and we had the most beautiful lodge/cabin we stayed. The view was incredible and we had a big pond right in front of it(which we caught frogs in) overall it was amazing. The ride back was a little hectic because Ann was driving us and her daughter jesse had an emergency c-section and had a baby almost a month early we all prayed alot in the car. Mommy and Baby are both fine and everything turned out well. :)

tonight we found out what pictures placed what. The one under Abstract placed second the one under other(the food one) didn't place at all. The one under flowers ( the purple flower one) placed second. The one under people birth to two years ( the one of Livy) placed second. The one under close up ( the rose) placed third. The one under architecture ( the umbrella one) placed second. The one under Nature ( the water mist one) didn't place at all. The one under seascape didn't place at all. The one under Historical ( the car) placed third. The one under sunset placed second. So there you have it. :)

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, things have been really hectic. We got back from our vacation last friday. It was sooo good to be home. Me and Tim made this video last sunday I think. We got kinda bored so.....

Day 6 of our vacation

Today was day 6. another traveling day we traveled what was supposed to be and 5 1/2 hour drive that turned into a nine hour drive just because of traffic and because we ended up having to go through hollywood. By the time we got to our RV park I was car sick which wasn't fun. Everyone can always tell when somethings wrong with me because The car is actually quiet.:)

This was the fifth day of our vacation and we basically traveled and slept the whole time. We went from Fortuna CA to Madesto CA (I think thats how you spell it) anyway these pictures are just me and Tim goofing off.
