Lilies
My favorite flower is the Tiger Lily, but for the most part I love all lilies! The apartment where Brad was staying had these gorgeous Calla Lilies right out the front door and I just loved them so much I had to take some pictures. So here they are for you enjoyement.

Eclipse!
NO, not the book, the literal happening of an eclipse. If you missed the one that happened on December 20th, then you're in luck because Brad got some pretty amazing shots of this pretty spectacular phenomenon! He is just so handy and talented when it comes to taking pictures! I feel so blessed to have him in my life that I get to benefit from his talents!
It truly was an amazing experience! I'm glad I stayed up to witness it first hand. We thought the cloud cover was going to be too dense to see the eclipse but we kept getting little clearings in the fog and clouds and were able to get these amazing shots!

My Grandma
In December my Grandma turned 80! My aunt planned a surprise party in her honor and it was a very nice event. I personally love to see pictures of all my grandparents as they were growing up. It's so neat to see who they were as children and young adults. I took pictures of some of the pictures at the party and it is so neat to look at them and imagine or hear stories about life during that time!
It was also nice to be able to see my dad's side of the family and meet some of my Grandma's friends that I hear about but had never put a face to the name. She really is a loved and appreciated person in her community and her family. I loved the poem that her friends wrote for her, someday I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a copy. I really love and appreciate my Grandma. She is so talented in multiple trades. And I love how dedicated she is to finding out about our family history. She has so many stories and so much knowledge. I think she should write a book! I hope someday to grow into as talented of a woman as she.
The party was held at the church my Grandma attends. I was really excited while roaming the halls to find little pieces of my Grandpa's handiwork. Both my Grandma and my Grandpa are and were extremely gifted in the arts. My Grandpa was an excellent wood-worker and my Grandma is an excellent painter (among other things), which both go hand in hand. I never knew that they had made items for the church and I was really touched and excited to see pieces of their legacy that will last and have lasted many many years.
On a side note, this picture of me and my mom was taken at the party and I just really love it!
