There is a Plan

I've been doing a lot of thinking this past week and I have came to the harsh realization that life is not easy and there are things that will happen that will break our hearts. Yet through it all we can learn to love more than we ever thought possible. Sometimes it is very hard to trust in the Lord's plan for us, because it might not seem fair or it isn't what we wanted. But as we trust in Him, He can and will make us stronger and we can know that He is in charge and there is a plan. I can't say I'm glad to have gone through what I did last week, but I believe Viddy and I will be made stronger for it. There is a plan and just because we don't know why things happen, doesn't mean the Lord doesn't love us.

Photography Class

A few months ago Viddy bought me a sweet camera. The only stipulation was that I had to take a photography class. So in order to hold up my end of the deal I registered for the class and am now a couple months into it. The first critique was 2 weeks ago and out of the 200+ pictures that I took I only really liked 1. Tomorrow is the 2nd critique and this time I have pictures that I am actually proud of!

The one picture last time

My three favorites from this time around

I had to save the best for last! This is my all time favorite

I know it's been a few months since we went to Hawaii, but I thought I would post about it just so everyone can know how incredibly amazing it was. We had the greatest time!!!

Snorkeling
Para-sailing
Hiking
Swimming
Eating
Shopping
Watching Fireworks
Waikiki
Pearl Harbor

Sharks Cove
Pali Lookout

and lots more!

Here are some pictures just to show you how awesome it was! I know there's a lot, but it was just so incredible, and there are lots to choose from.
