Back in NC (November 5)

Remember Remember the 5th of November. I will definitely remember this day, although not at all for the same reasons. This was the day of my return to NC, the day my family got together to celebrate me!

Only one thing stood in the way of it being a perfect day. I was greeted at my bedroom door by this....

Dinner with the family was crazy as always but that's why restaurants love us!

Good Start to the 365 project!

Aren't I supposed to write stuff on here?

I have come to the realization that I am the world’s worst blogger. I started this blog when I went on an ‘adventure.’ Kenya was definitely an adventure. I found great joy in blogging about my time there and providing my small base of readers with pictures. I have not however been able to bring myself to write about the everyday mundane things that happen to me. I have never felt that my everyday life was worth reading about… it’s pretty normal.

So now, I’m going to fix that. I am making a new resolution. Yes, I know that’s something you usually wait until the beginning of the year to do, but since I’m making my way back to North Carolina, I think it would be appropriate to start now. The resolution is this: take a picture each day of my adventures.

I’m hoping this resolution with do three things for me. First, I’m hoping it will make me blog more about my life, get my creative juices flowing. Second, I’m hoping that it will help me to find the adventure of everyday life. Third, I’m kind of hoping it will make me a better photographer.

Start looking for my new posts!

New And Improved

New Look...  Same old content... Hey Britt, you haven't posted on here in over a month...

Anyways... who has two thumbs and updated the look of this blog?

What if I move to Canada?

Another delayed post about my adventures in the Northwest...

Don't worry, I'm not planning on it any time soon. But I really liked the sights! So, I spent the better part of Friday listening to funny accents and taking lots of pictures in Vancouver, British Columbia (that's Canada in case you didn't know that). Since it's January, most of the sights were closed, but we did get to cross the Capilano Suspension Bridge and walk around the treetops of the forest. We also headed into downtown Vancouver and walked around historic Gastown which is one of the oldest cities in Canada. Since then it has been absorbed into Vancouver and is mostly just a spot for sightseeing and souvenir shopping.

Check out the pictures below and drool...

Another very delayed post of my adventures on the west coast.

Despite their attempts, I haven't stopped saying y'all yet. Nor have I forgotten how to say WELL DANG! But my southern accent isn't the point of this post, the point is that y'all should get some horses. While mucking out their stalls is really not the high point of my day, horses are pretty cool. And I think Ugg would agree.

This past Sunday, I attended a horse show in Spanaway, Washington. Some of our neighbors were showing their horses and wanted us (my stepmom and myself) to come along for moral support. Since I had never been to a horse show before, I thought it would be neat to check it out. There were parts of it that weren't really for me, but I really enjoyed watching our neighbors show their horses. We had a few mishaps with misbehaving horses, but our 10 year old neighbor came away with quite a few ribbons and prizes.

Anyway... Ugg had a good time at the horse show as well! Check out his photo-ops below!
