mornings

Until recently I have not been much of a morning person. Weekends rarely saw me up before 9 or 10. Not sure what happened but in the last year or so if I sleep til 8 it is very rare. I am usually up by 6:30 or 7. I love the mornings -

The morning sky is so clear and blue.

I love the dew on the grass

And the colors are beautiful in the morning light

I love watching and listening to swallows - this morning when I stepped out my front door they were buzzing around and a little annoyed at me for interupting them. I spotted a couple on the electrical wire across the street, they made me laugh. I think he was trying to get her attention but she was having none of it -

God does some amazing work - especially in the morning quiet -

Some of the Pictures

whats new?

I started a challenge in Feb, to take one picture everyday and post it to a group on flickr. I tried recently to put some of the pics here also, but could not get them to load. I will try agaon soon. But you can peek at them on flick (Bevland2010) or on my facebook page.

It has been very fun and quite a challenge sometimes, but I am getting more comfortable with my camera, and with taking pictures in odd places.

At the end of the year I should have at least 365 shots - now to figure out the best way to put them into print.

These are just a few of my favorite scrapping sites. Almost all of them have free stuff and some tutorials. Photoshop is my choice of programs but Photoshop Elements works pretty well too.

I really like being able to scrap digitally, partly because the cost is so much less, and I can pic up my computer and take a project any where. 

Have fun!

Horrible

So - I am horrible at updating this blog. : )

Life is good right now, I love being married. I love all of it.

I love waking in the night and finding Tim holding my hand, I love the sound of his snore. I love the warmth of his side of the bed. I love the extra snooze in the morning for 5 minutes of cuddling before the day starts. I love that the car is warm every morning before I even get out to it. I love that my english muffin is toasted and waiting for my when I get to the kitchen in the morning. I love cooking dinner for Tim. I love the quietness we share. I love the conversation we share. I love the competiveness of the Wii every day. I love doing his laundry and the smell of him on the clothes. I love rubbing the top of his head. I love the way he puts his arm around me and cups my shoulder in his hand. I love the way he teases me out of a bad mood.

I just love him so much, and feel so loved by him.
