today is good, I can smell it.

School starts Monday it will be my last semester I've heard from friend that this will be my most fun and most challenging semester. I'm excited but also anxious and scared that I won't live up to the work I am expected to produce. I think what I'm doing is right. I have moments of doubt. I am blessed with people that love me and hold me up. Thank you. I feel I should be diving head first into photography and not worrying about the future. I've been given this talent and gift for some reason.  
I recently moved into a new home. This place has been very good for me as far as producing ideas and using my mind...it may have something to do with having another creative around me. I've missed this feeling. 
Somedays I miss my other houses and mates but this is good. So very good. 

the call

iv'e never felt like an LDS mission was what was in my plan. sometimes i was/am confused as to why it wasn't for me....I had the desire but it's not for me and despite everything i have still had chances to share my thoughts and beliefs. which i am very grateful for. its clear that my dear sister Claire is so perfect for the work this is her way of serving...she is caring and loving and is genuinely interested and LOVES people so much.

here she is opening it.....she's been called to serve in the Nevada Reno mission!

...she leaves August 20th 

we had quite the group of cute little visitors some even google hung out and called in for it.

 the crowd of friends and fam that came in support for claire.

she is a beautiful soul and will do a great job.
