Its been exactly one month since I've blogged..  We've got a lot to say, we've got a lot to share and we hope you had a wonderful holiday!!


SO!

We did some amazing family mini-sessions. It was held at Jack Stones Barn in Lemoore. We had different "stations" set up for each family to enjoy and had 1/2 hour sessions. Kellen and I wanted to something different, something exciting. I think we achieved our goal. We had almost a full day of families and almost got rained out. So thank you to each of the families that joined us for our mini-sessions! We love your support, and we hope that next year we can shoot even more families and do an even cooler shoot! 














Then it was time for Christmas, and time to get a tree, and time to enjoy family. As some of you might know my mum has been battling cancer for a year in November. Its been a long journey of ups and downs, of good and bad. So for us to spend Christmas with her, especially since its the last Christmas I'll ever have with her was very important to Kellen and I. So, we stayed here. We decorated, we got a tree, we used all my mums amazing decorations that I loved so much as a kid and got s%%*t done! I have to say, after trying to decorate, I give it up to my mum. I always thought it was semi easy. NOPE! It was so difficult, things were broken, and there was so much stuff, and where to put this, and where to put that. She defiantly has an amazing gift! After our Christmas here with the family Kellen and I jetted off to Wisconsin for 10 whole days! We had yet another Christmas, enjoyed his family, enjoyed some snow and spend lots of time with family. I got to go ice fishing, experience a "real" up north adventure and new years and got to see an amazing friend in Madison.

//January//


After 10 days of eating constantly, we came back to California. To real life... I turned 25 on 8th! Its a big milestone for me. I always thought at 25 I'd feel and be so old. Although, I do feel like an adult I don't feel old. I still feel like me. Kellen and I got to spend the day together, he got me a tattoo! Yup! a tattoo!

and here we are. the 14th of January.


I woke up this morning to adult things like cleaning the house, making some tea, doing some dishes, and make sure my mum was okay. Its another day that we get to enjoy our family, possibly one of the last days I'll get to enjoy my sweet mothers amazing sky blue eyes. She is declining and declining quickly. Last night Kellen and I prayed for her, and not that God would heal her, but that God would give her so much peace, and so much love and so much joy. We thanked God that He has given me the best mum there ever was, and a mum that was perfect for me. So in the next month I hope you will forgive my absence, and my tardiness. I hope you understand. I ask that maybe you can say a little prayer. A little something... and give your mum a call, give your mum a kiss, and tell her how much you love her!
