new idea i had. each month, through my iphone. another little way of sharing my life, with you. another little way of remembering the moments that make up my days, for me. this month, i reflected on 2010 and the new year to come, re-capped my favourite 2010 weddings, drove to bellingham to spend the day with friends, my favourite 2010 details, said goodbye to my friends kaitlyn & makaela, blogged about my inspiration in films, basic tips & hints for beginner photographers, showcased heidi & bryce’s guestbook, photographed two engagement sessions i adore: shandelle & britton [who i ran into today on main street!] and laura & kyle, my new music finds i’m loving & my newest baby cousin sierra.

one. over seventy-five pairs of shoes in our hallway. the biggest party [a goodbye for kait&mak] we’ve ever hosted at our house. LOVED every minute. people are great.
two. salmon for lunch, grandma turns ninety-five and we celebrate at horizons restaurant.
three. my art [refer to #4] on leanne’s family’s fridge. I MADE THE FRIDGE!
four. leanne‘s family moved this month; they had some serious organization to do before they moved. i came over and kept leanne & her mother company while they organized. i was given the job of testing pens from the pen drawer. i’m so artsy i made an art piece. tested the pens while writing whatever word came to mind. some included, jamie, leanne, sam [her bf], lawn mowers [obviously], joy, full, page, etc.
five. a morning in bellingham alone with my bible and an amazing americano. [i'm a quarter of the way through mandatory 35-days without coffee and a huge list of other stuff. it's killing me slowly. i love americanos.] i read through 2 corinthians that morning. brilliant.

six. little cousin caleb [sierra's older brother] chilling at tim horton’s with us.
