Who I am

As the end of the year is fast approaching, I have started thinking what my project for 2012 will be. This year I have almost successfully completed a Project 365. I have enjoyed it and will begin again on January 1st. I have decided that this year I would try Blogging. I have started twice before and got to the part where I had to decide on a name and was stumped. I mean that is a big decision. If the name is lame then people may automatically decide the blog is lame. If the name is overly exciting and fantastic then the pressure of having a blog to live up to the name is overwhelming and tiresome. So as you can see I never got very far. Maybe it was a case of over thinking and a slight bit of fear as the thought of keeping up a blog would be very time consuming or maybe I would be boring. Maybe I just needed to be inspired....I have managed to take a picture every day for over 300 days now, I can do this.



This is my 4 year old daughter, Madeline. She is the sunshine in my life. Her spunk, sass and genuine kindness and sweetness amazes me. She is in K-4 3 days a week and takes gymnastics. She is very much a girly girl but enjoys everything outside also. She tolerates being my model. :)

I am a 35 year old single mommy. Best job I could ever have. Unfortunately it does not pay the bills which is where firefighting comes in. I have been in the fire service for over 13.5 years now. I have been a paid firefighter for over 10 years. I am the first female firefighter the city has had and have worked my way up to being a Lieutenant.I have been able to go on several trips out west to fight wild land fires. Amazing opportunity....I have loved photography all my life but after Madeline was born I really got into it. After doing this 365 I have found out I love it even more. I can not stress how important capturing memories forever is.

So now that all the introductions are out of the way I am glad to embark this new journey and letting you into our life. Till next time here is some sweetness...
