All I want is one of those little name badges...

They are coming in by the herds. And they all carry something in common. A name badge. This is it. They are different colors, sorts, and hold different definitions. It means something though. They are all in the same group...and they are all getting a paycheck. Now while those vary as well, I want one!

Just a job. A simple Job. I am honestly losing my brains. I am working full time to find a full time job and I am getting nowhere! I am getting frustrated and down. This is not my personality and it is killin me!

But after reading "The Noticer," by Andy Andrews I have to keep remembering something. In his book there were some amazing quotes, but a few of my favorite say...

"Whatever you focus on, increases!" ...Therefore my focus shall be on living life to the fullest in any circumstance. As my dad reminded me...I am eating a great sea food feast while watching the amazing sunset!

And the other one that I know is going to totally butcher right now...says something like:

"The painting never became a masterpiece without the little brushstrokes"

Oh man so good. These are the times...the journey and the hardships that build the beautiful painting. It is when we are struggling and not understanding tomorrows outcome that we build upon the painting of life. While there are moments when I just want to give up and go back home, I realize that these are the moments that are going to define who I am. I am a survivor and I going to be okay. I know that God's plan is so much bigger than mine, so in this moment I am going to smile and keep going!

Just a little fun with the camera:)

Talk about a different experience! NC does the 4th a little differently. We headed into Cary for a little family celebration...didn't realize how funny the observations would be! People get cut throat when it comes to doughnut eating competitions, watermelon eating competitions, sack races, and all the other random games! Some of these pictures brought to light all the fun!

So as a few of you know...i just started getting interested in photography. I NEED to take a class...but until i have a job and some sort of income, I will have to just wait:)

Yesterday, my roomie and I went out in search of some fun places to snap some shots. Here are a few:)

Oh man, I really need some lessons...but i sure do love it!
