Photography

I am so happy and so incredibly nervous at the same time. I've been getting compliments and offers of shooting pictures of friends with their families. I did my photography page not because I was trying to get people to let me take their pictures but because I was just finally getting enough courage to show them to people. This is something that I love to do. God knows what's going to happen and where he is going to take me. I have so many ideas of the different thugs that I want to do with my photography. I'm just glad that I'm took my first step. Thanks be to God for providing me with a gift I can share with everyone. 

Zoo lights

Bill and I went to the Oregon Zoo Lights yesterday for our date night. It was so much fun. The traffic was crazy and their were so many people but the lights were amazing to see. We walked around with hot chocolate and felt very much like it was finally the Christmas season. Merry Christmas!!!

Breakthrough...New Beginnings

I have finally decided to break through and put myself out there.  I am by far always so so self conscious but I have talked about wanting to be a photographer for so long that I needed to stop making excuses.  My pictures are by far amateur but there mine.  I will always love photography and I will always love taking pictures.  It is by far time to share them with people.

I have a new blog... http://nyssacardwellphotography.blogspot.com

Thinking Again

I've been thinking a lot recently since my grandpas decline and eventual passing that this thought has slowly been pressing on my mind. 

I want to move back to the valley. 

You might know or maybe not Bill's dad unfortunately has ALS.  He will pass sometime in the future hopefully many years from now.  When that time comes Bill's mom will be moving out to McMinnville to live with her sister leaving Bill and I truly alone. I'm tired of being on the coast.  

I miss my family and friends.

All of my good friends have moved away already over the last couple of years leaving me feeling more alone then before. 

So my dream/thoughts will hopefully be coming true sometime in the future.  We will see though what actually happens.  It is all in God's timing and wants.

A little late

I know that this is a little late, ok only by a month but still at least I'm talking about it now.  

MY WALKING GOAL OF 2012-2013

I finished it in a way.  I was actually short 15 miles.  

Now the story behind that...I slacked off throughout the entire summer.  I know not usually the time that you slack off but for me apparently it was.  By the end of the year time frame I was walking at least 3 to 6 miles everyday.  I walked so incredibly much that it came down to having 3 days left and having to walk 15 miles.  I was completely going to do it but then the nasty infection called a "cold" took it's hold of me and I wasn't able to finish and walk the 15 miles.  So slight failure.

However the silver lining is I know for a hundred percent fact that I walked 15 miles (unaccounted for) throughout the year that I'm still saying that I finished my goal of walking 365 miles in a year!!

Onto the next years goal walking 730 miles in a year.  

2 miles per day

14 miles per week 

Nov - Nov 

IT BEGINS
