Our Anniversay...

This was a pic I took last year on Joe and I's (not sure if that is proper english) anniversary. We celebrated 11 years of marriage. You know it's funny, when you meet and fall in love and first get married you feel like you know everything there is to know about this person and you love every bit of them and you could never love them anymore than you love them right in that moment. But to be honest, I love Joe even more now than I ever did then. I mean there are times when I may not 'like' him (lol, and I know he could say the same for me), but one thing is for sure, no matter what, I will always, always love him. Just like I have said in the past, marriage is work, it is a daily grind for real, and I know that as long as I have breath this is one job I will never quit. We have literally grown up together and I wouldn't choose anyone else to go the rest of the way with. I love you man...

Love,

jaime

The usual....212-214/365

Me playing catch up. I haven't given up yet. I am not sure if this 365 is encouraging me or discouraging me. I am still trucking along I have just lost a little steam in posting. It seems like the more I try to devote time to this project and its components the more I feel like it is a burden and I am struggling to find things to take pictures of. I really think I am just in the thick of it and I can't see anything. Pray for me ya'll. I need it, on alot of things....


Happy Birthday to my little cousin Asa! This was over a month ago now, but hey it always fun to look at the memories. Right?

This picture has a lot of blue. I don't remember now if it was my camera's settings, or if there was really that much blue around. Well at least for Asa's sake it's not pink.

It's about a thing...208-210/365

Sometimes its all about the texture of a thing.



Other times its about the placement, and of course the color of a thing.

But most times, its just about whatever catches my eye.

Whatever that may be! hahahahaha. ;)

love,

205-207/365

We went to MOCA over the summer (Museum of Contemporary Art) and they had a graffitti exhibit that was off the chain! I loved every mintue of it.

For Lara...198/365

Color, I love you. I see you in my dreams. You speak to me in whispers that always shout so loud. I want to hold you in between the palm of my hands, cupped ever so tightly, so that I can peek at you through out the day with only one eye. Of course when my other eye gets jealous of what the one has seen, I will open my hands and let you free so that all of me can sing.




...you inspire me....

xoxo

Love lists...195/365

Things I love about him:

His obsession with pirates.
That while still obsessed with pirates he has become involved with Spiderman.
The way he calls Special K cereal "chocwate" cereal.
How every morning he ends up in my bed on my pillow taking in all of my oxygen.
How every night we still need to have his "binti" (blankie) before we go to bed.
How when I am in their room saying their prayers with them, he has to lay his head in my lap.
That milk is still his drink of choice.
That he still wants me to pick him up sometimes, just so that he can be held.
That he randomly says "mom, I love you" for no reason at all.
The fact that he can sing the entire Spider man theme song in tandem with me.
That he LOVES old school cartoons like Inspector gadget and He-Man.


Things I love about her:

The freckles on her nose.
How quiet and baby like she is first thing in the morning.
The way she still ends up in my bed by the morning.
How it is taking forever for her front teeth to grow back in ( I love the empty spaces).
That she finally figured out how to comb her hair.
The way she dances when she thinks no one is looking.
How she takes care of her little brother.
How when I told her that she was not going to be one of the little kids on the playground anymore "your a second grader now, you have to help the little ones" she thought about it and then took it in seriously as one of her upcoming duties. ( I couldn't help but smile).
That she is so sensitive to others feelings.
That she still wants to hug me, and is not embarrassed by me yet.
That she is the electronic guru of the family


I love you both for these reasons and so much more....

Love mama.

Etsy...192/365

You may have noticed that there has been a little sumthin, sumthin new added to the sidebar over there to the right towards the top. What you are seeing is part of my Esty store. My Etsy store ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/jmariephoto?ref=pr_shop&view_type=gallery )is the place where you can go to purchase j.Marie artwork. I don't have everything listed yet, but I do have some things there. Actually, if you ever see a photograph that you absolutely must have, but don't see it in my store just shoot me an email either here, on facebook or thru my Etsy store and I am more than happy to get something ordered for you. Also, all my photographs can be ordered in various sizes, get at me about that too if you need to. The sidebar at the right will change peridiocally depending on what is new in my store. I am pretty excited to have a store finally up and running, I have already made a few sales too! So, if you've ever loved what you've seen on my blog and are interested in making a purchase head on over to Etsy and give me a shout!



My first etsy sale! Yay! I loved it big too (24x36). In my perfect world I would have all of my stuff huge all over my house framed beautifully.... ;)

Stay cool,
love,

Love is the flower...191/365

Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
