I don't typically do this... I don't vent alot to anyone other than God, my husband, my mom, my best friend, and my sister-in-law. Bless their sweet hearts for always listening. But tonight - I'm frustrated, hurt, and a little angry. And since this is my blog- I'm going to vent. I realize that none of it will probably make much sense because I'm not going to "air" the situation...unless you are one of the people listed above because I've already used my lifelines for some support, then you have already heard my thoughts.
I just for the life of me sit here tonight and wonder why some people do what they do??? I really honestly do not get it- at all! Do they just not think? Do they not care? I've put my heart and time into something so many times to turn around and feel like its unappreciated and not valued by others. I don't like that. It stings.
I certainly don't feel like I'm in the wrong in this situation, but, maybe God is trying to teach me a lesson from this regardless of my position in it all? I don't know, yet. Maybe I've just reached a breaking point of feeling like I'm being walked on.
I do know that I need to go to bed, pray, refresh my mind set and work through this at a later time. Nothing good will become of me sharing my thoughts right now in the midst of being angry.

{wordless wednesday:: }
This photo of my girls says something to me. It shows me that life is simple, sweet and fun. It spells happiness. Life is crazy and life is busy... and this photo tells me to smile, relax and simply continue to love my babies!

{i don't know how ya'll do it...}
I want to be a good blogger. I think of a million things to share with whoever happens to read my blog, BUT-- I just don't know where ya'll find the time!
For crying out loud, the last blog I posted resulted in my walls being colored with red sharpie marker by baby sissy as I blogged her birthday post... I don't know if my house can handle much more of that!! Shhhh, right now she is sleeping!!
Paint suggestions?? :)
I'll be back sooner than later, hopefully!

{two years}
Avery Kate,
Two years ago at 2:06 p.m. we were finally face to face with you, our 7lb 1oz baby girl. You were perfect, beautiful, bright eyed and quiet. You still are three of those four things!
Your sister says that you are the silliest girl she knows.
Yes, you really do make us laugh that much.
You two are the best of friends.
You look to her for help often.
You keep us on our toes and we love you for it.
You are non-stop from the time you wake up until the moment I kiss your sweet little face goodnight.
If you are awake and you are quiet, you are up to something...
...you climb, you hide, you disturb your sisters things.
You are our little monkey.
Your talking up a storm these days and I love hearing your sweet little voice.
You love to dress yourself and love to follow your big sister trying to do everything she does.
You still smile more than you cry and talk even if no one is listening.
You keep our house entertained at all times.
You are a little bundle of personality!
You love putting on a show, and you love to make people laugh - Grandma says you get that from your daddy! So when you are the class clown we'll let "Daddy" handle it. You are independent and know what you want - I love those qualities about you.
You may be small but you are feisty. :)
You are a pure cuddle bug.
You love to sing.
And you love to dance.
You don't like dogs, but you love Sally.
You love to take a shower.
You give the tightest and sweetest hugs.
You bring us so much joy and laughter.
I am forever grateful to God that he blessed us with you.
Love, Mama

{new york!}
It's about time I share with you all a little of New York.
We woke up early Thursday morning. Of course, I woke up a little earlier than B because I am the type of girl who can't shower the night before and get up, get dressed, and feel good all day long. I need that hot shower to wake up and get moving. Our flight was an early one! I quickly got dressed in my excitement. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little nervous about boarding the plane. I'm also a girl who likes to know what to expect. So new experiences usually make me a little antsy. I'd also be lying if I said I didn't almost cry as I went and kissed my girls in the middle of their comfortable sleep. But, we were quickly on our way.
We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to check in and get through security checkpoints. There was a little delay at baggage check in due to some flight changes that had taken place, but after a few minutes that was all figured out as well.
We didn't have a window seat on the flight up. I was a little anxious about that.. I really wanted a window seat.. I needed to see what was going on! When we boarded I was excited to see that the window seat was still vacant. I quickly plopped down in it and prepared to have to beg to stay there. Much to my surprisethe guy frequent flier who held the ticket to that seat could have cared less.
Our flight was great. I didn't even panic like I expected myself to. Well maybe once, when we almost had a delay on the runway because of air traffic in Atlanta, which would have meant we would miss our connection to New York. Instead we had 15 minutes to change planes and had to run through the airport to make our next flight. Have to keep things exciting right? Up above the clouds...
Our landing in New York was a little bumpy. I didn't have much to compare it to, but much rougher than the first... so I was excited to just get off and make our way into the city!!
We jumped in a cab and took off.. Just like we had planned. We had no agenda on this trip. Just to get there and go where the city took us and to enjoy every minute of it!
Just a FEW of my thoughts on NY:
*we are already planning our next visit!
*you must be ready to walk - and walk fast!
*visiting ground zero will give you a totally different feeling about 9/11...
*cab rides are more scary than flying
*you won't lack a starbucks - there is one on every corner - and there is a reason they are there... you need the coffee to keep up!
*NY style pizza is delicious!
*it is the place to shop
*the subway is confusing!
*the city never sleeps!
*there really are food vendors lined up and down the streets
*it is noisy- cab horns really do honk 24/7... ok maybe just 22/7.
*don't talk on your cell phone and try to cross the street.. you will almost be hit.
*if you walk past a "statue" on the ferry.. chances are it's a live statue.
*a picture with elmo will cost you $1.
*dancing on the big piano will make you feel like a big kid!
*the city at night is... breathtaking!
*central park is beautiful.. you need a full day just to spend there!
*times square= fun.. even if you just sit and people watch
*Chinatown is just something you have to experience. you come away with great purses, too!
Many of you had asked was there a special occasion for this trip and the answer is no. We've both always wanted to visit New York and we as mommy and daddy were much overdue for an "us" vacation. We've never gone anywhere without the girls and we rarely even leave them anywhere overnight. We had decided that the city would be the perfect destination for our get-a-way.
I can't even begin to post all the photo's I took on this trip so I created a slideshow. (It's fairly long - I'm sorry - I couldn't help myself). And this is only a portion, but it hits the highlights of our trip! May have to post more later!

About Me
- Kari
- I am an aspiring photographer focused on infant, child, family, maternity, couples and senior photography. I shoot on location, at the location of your choice, in natural light.
I have loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember - anyone who knows me can tell you that. There is just something about it that makes me smile. After the birth of my first daugther, Delaney, my passion for photography ignited. 33 months later came her baby sister, Avery. I have had my camera in my hand every day since. There isn't a moment I want to miss... the tiny toes, the drool, the smiles, the simple things. My girls are my inspiration for everything. You will often find me in the background snapping those natural moments in life that I don't want to see people forget. Sometimes the best photographs are the ones that are unposed and candid. I love the feeling of capturing such sweet moments and will strive to bring your memories to life in a way that you love.
