A Year in Pictures...

My YEAR in PICTURES, as promised...

WELCOME, 2011...

July 14, 2010

Well, I've been slacking. I've been enjoying running from here to there while in Chicago, and frankly haven't given too much thought to my blog. It's funny how when I am on vacation, it's like I escape to an alternate reality. In this alternate reality, everyone wants to spend time with me. I have no bills. I can eat delicious food without consequences. I have no real responsibilities. And it doesn't matter that I'm single. In my reality it doesn't matter that I'm single either, but it really doesn't matter in my alternate reality. Why? I've got family to care for me, I'm so busy I don't even think about it, and I'm not surrounded by happy couples. So... all that to say, I haven't thought too much about my blog in the last few days. But I've taken a lot of pictures. I haven't had a chance to doctor these up, as I am wont to do, but they make me smile:

That's all for now. I have some deeper thoughts brewing, but they'll have to wait, as I have an alternate reality to enjoy. :)

Images of Independence...

Sitting in the back of a red pickup truck, I let the breeze mess up my hair as I watched the fireworks all around me. "Walking in Memphis" came from the speakers, and I smiled. Independence Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Deeply patriotic, I tear up when I hear the National Anthem. Pair that or other equally as patriotic songs with firecrackers, and suddenly there are waterworks to go with the fireworks. I smiled and teared up as I looked around me: friends sitting on the tailgate, parents holding their children, children staring in wonder, pyrotechnics everywhere from right above me to across the water... these were images of independence.

Every morning we wake up blessed by God to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of our country's leadership and shortcomings. Enjoy some glimpses of my Independence Day and count your blessings as well. :)
