It has been raining like crazy around here.  Somehow I've been fortunate to not get caught in anything heavier than a mist, despite a three mile walk on Thursday with my 8th graders. (We walked to a...

Today I am happy to be a teacher. It's hard a lot of the time. I know last year it was hard because the group of students I had were just... not nice most of the time. Not all of them. But the...

It's Friday night. I've been laying in bed since around 5pm, relishing in the fact that it is indeed Friday, and I can officially be sick. Got hit with some kind of weird sore throat in the middle...

No, seriously. Somehow I've found myself with a "free" night.On a Wednesday.That's in the middle of the week, if you're counting.So technically, I would't call it a free night. I should use it to...

We returned to our engagement shoot spot, this time as photographers ourselves. Just over three years ago, we were engaged and standing in front of that old barn. It's been an adventure for sure. 🙂
