Christmas is coming. Are you ready?

Word on the street is that Christmas is coming. Tomorrow is the 20th which will make it 5 days until Christmas. I still have no idea what to get my mom for Christmas and I’m not really satisfied with what I got for my dad. My mom recently got a book on mini farming (the … Continue reading →

Terri’s Here

Terri is visiting me and my family for Thanksgiving and her flight got in about an hour ago. I’m so happy she’s here. 🙂 We’re going to grab dinner with Camee and Cari at Chipotle and then go to Kairos (a local young adult ministry). We’ll probably hit up Sweet Cece’s afterwords. It’s going to … Continue reading →

Human Trafficking

Yesterday, we talked about human trafficking in my Global Studies class. While I was excited to learn more about it because I’m passionate about it, I was also very woeful. Let’s face it, human trafficking is not a topic that elicits many smiles (unless you’re hearing about victims being rescued). Never the less, we talked … Continue reading →

Bluebird Cafe (2)

The artists were pretty great tonight. In addition to David Newbould, Kristen Cothron, Scott Laurent and Kalisa Ewing, we also got a surprise performance by Earl Bud Lee (the songwriter behind “Friends in Low Places”). We had seats closest to the door, but the way the tables were set up, my mom was practically rubbing … Continue reading →

I’m an idiot

I had planned on taking many photos like I did yesterday, but it’s hard to take photos when you don’t have either of … Continue reading →

Franklin’s Civil War Reenactment

Halloween Decorations of Franklin, TN

My parents came home from work last week and my mom didn’t even say hi. She just said, “Where’s your camera? You need to go with Daddy to go see this house we saw on the way home.” I was reluctant to go at first, but then I got curious so I grabbed my gear … Continue reading →

American Poverty

These are some facts that I learned in my Introduction to Social Work class today. Poverty is defined as the lack of resources to achieve a reasonably comfortable standard of living. 15% of individuals in the USA are living in poverty. That’s one in seven people. College educated, former middle class, suburbanites, and home owners … Continue reading →

Sun Photos

I like to take photos of the sky whenever I’m in the car. This usually happens to be when I’m driving, but some times I’ll get lucky and my dad will be driving. Here are some scenes I’ve captured since August.
