This is a picture of me, that I took of myself (a self portrait) and also I did some editing.

Cigarette Pants!

New season — new trouser style. Peg-leg pants are big this fall. These are cropped 7/8th length versions which finish just above the ankle. Wear these if you dare — the pleated-detail and tapered legs can give the illusion of shortening the body and making waist and hips look larger. Cigarette pants teamed with a relaxed jacket or sweater dress is a more slimming look.

Top Colors Trends for Fall 2008

Think of russets and ochres, regal purples, plums and eye-popping pinks. The autumnal palette also includes earthy colors such as burnt orange and beige, with contrasting evergreens. Taking us from fall through to winter are muted metallics and soft grays, sophisticated and subtle.

Mission-Mexico

Heartbreak

Me and my church youth group are very involved in ministry. We travel to Moldavia, Russia, Germany and Mexico. Recently we made a trip to Mexico to help out the young orphaned children. We spent one hour a day at the daycare to take care of the younger children while the mothers would go out to work in the fields. There were a lot of seven to eight year olds taking care of babies, and it was really heartbreaking. We would give them toys, food, essentials for hygiene and of course their favorite, CANDY 🙂 We would wake up as early as 6 am to go pick up the kids on a really old van where they would sit in the back on cushions. At the daycare we would sing songs in spanish about Jesus to the children and show them picture books based on the bible. By the end of the week they were really sad to see us go, and it was hard to say goodbye. These children barely have anything to live on and yet they are so grateful for a piece of candy and they praise and sing songs of worship to God. They have inspired me to have a different outlook on my life.

FAMILY

Family Matters

My sisters husband is actually and amateur photographer.

During a recent family BBQ he was snapping some photos.
This is a photo of me and one of my nieces and nephews.

I have a total of 8 nieces and nephews.
That’s right 8. I love them all dearly.

This is just a quick example of beauty captured through the creativity of an aspiring photographer.
