I'm a little obsessed with the moon. Can you tell? I plan on getting a tattoo of the moon and a star soon. I love the couple days out of the month that it looks like this.

School started today.

I am so behind because of school. I just need to edit and post them. I will catch up soon! 

I didn't edit the colors in this. The sunset was really pretty that day.

This project has basically become my self-portrait experiment with photography and photoshop. Oh well. 

I start school tomorrow. Crap.

This is my Sunday evening. So much laundry to do before school starts on Tuesday.

I wish I had enough time to take photos like this more often. It's a lot of fun. And starting Tuesday, I'm going to have even less time. Oh well. Here you go. I am tired. Goodnight. :)

I found this on the ground in front of my apartment. How cute.

Long day today. I'm tired. Hence the crappy photo. I wish there was more time in the day.

He loves being in the bed. And I just can't say no. :)

Wonderful day off today. Recently, I have found myself lounging around and being lazy on my days off. I usually hate when I do that but school is about to start so I don't mind. They day wasn't completely useless, however. We ran some errands then took Lupin to the park to let him run wild. It was nice. :)

I don't want summer to end. I'm not ready.

Self Portrait Sunday? Sort of an extension of my anxiety photo. Apparently I'm in a creepy mood.

This is for my mom and Hailey who hate black eyes.

Today is our 4 year anniversary. Tomas had to work so we didn't really do anything special. We just ended up being lazy with our puppy then dressing up and going to dinner. 

It was perfect. I love him.

I have anxiety. All the time. I always think something bad is going to happen.. When Hailey was here it was really bad. I was afraid she was going to get kidnapped. Everywhere we went I would have my pepper spray at the ready and I would be death-gripping her hand. I had horrible, horrible nightmares every night. I couldn't sleep. Every noise I heard I thought it was someone in my apartment. It was as if I thought someone was just going to apparate into my apartment and kill us. I need meds or something...

I love me some macro in my life.

I am 23 today!

I had SO much fun today. Brenda and Sean decided like a month ago that it would be fun to take us wine tasting for our first time on my birthday and it was fun! It was a beautiful day and the scenery was amazing. It was a good birthday. :)

THANK YOU to my wonderful boyfriend for part of my (early) birthday present. :) This is what we're currently doing right now. :D

I didn't take this picture today, and it's not a self portrait. But this photo deserves to be on the blog. This is Rio, Jesse's dog. I remember when they got Rio. We had just come back from church camp and we found out that their dog Chris died. :( I went with them to get Rio. He was a fluffy, orange little puppy. He recently had a tumor in his mouth and they had to put him down last night. I grew up with this dog. He was such a good dog. If anyone has had a dog that has been part of the family pass away, you know how it is. You know that it feels like a human has passed. It was really hard when I heard the news and I can't imagine how they are feeling.

I had a really good day today. It was one of those days when you're in a really good mood and you don't know why. Which was weird because I slept through my alarm and woken up 15 minutes before I had to leave. Not the best way to start the day. But oh well. :)

Here is the second installment of my Disney inspired photos. Snow White.

Macro!

Let me just tell you that my dog is a spaz and it took many shots to get one in focus.

Today was amazing. Seriously. I sometimes just need to do nothing on my days off. I lounged around with my puppy and my boyfriend, napped, didn't change out of my pajamas until 4. It was wonderful. I needed today. For my mental health. Of course, we did have errands to run, but we saved those for later. :)

We didn't want Lupin to be cooped up all day (like we were), so we took him to the park. I thought of this concept as I was falling asleep for my nap. Didn't quite turn out as I wanted it to. Oh well. 

Sometimes it's healthy to act like a kid and swing on the swings. :)

I had a wonderful day off today. :)

The only way he'll let me take a photo is if he's in it.

Self portrait today. Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday! :)

Don't hurry. Don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So don't forget to stop and smell the flowers along the way. -Walter Hagen

I should take this advice sometimes...

Hailey left today. This trip went by so fast. I was sad all day. I cried. A lot. Even after she left and I was at work. Randomly, I would get teary eyed. I wish we lived closer and I could see her and be with her all the time. I miss her so much and I hate always having to say goodbye without knowing the next time I'll see her. It's so hard.. It's going to be different without her here now.

So today, after all of my crying (and after my headache finally went away) I felt calm, tranquil, and mostly just drained. I decided to turn my feelings into a photo. This is what came of it. I love the feeling in this photo. It might be the loneliness or the vastness, I don't know. But I like it. I realize that I've been rambling on about nothing. I'm not even sure if any of this makes sense. So, goodnight.

My mom spent the day with us. This was honestly the only picture I took all day. So here you go. She is obsessed with goggles.

It's almost time for my sister to go home. The past month has gone by way too fast. I really can't believe it. I don't think I'm ready for her to go. I am happy, though, that she was able to come and visit. We had a lot of fun. Tomorrow my mom and grandparents will be here. Hailey has no idea they're coming. I told her she'll be here for another month. Heh.

Having her here made me realize how fast she's growing up.

Is anyone else freaking out over the fact that it's August? Where the heck did summer go? I really can't believe it. This entire year is flying by. Sort of depressing. Anyway, August IS my birthday month so we can all start celebrating now! :)

Lupin did not cooperate one bit while we were taking pictures. So this was a quick shot. I accidentally lost two balloons in the making of this photo, and Hailey made sure to let me know she was mad about it.
