A Special Gift

I know this is a late post. Been trying to think of what to write about. The other day I received a priceless gift from my mother. Something that I will never lose or even trade for anything in this world. 

Growing up my Grandmother (my mom's mom) was literally my best friend along side my grandfather (mom's father) these two were always there for me. I could always count on them for anything. Being a young kid and on to being an adult my grandmother would always say this one phrase to express her love to me and my younger sister. She would always say " I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck" this was always a special thing to hear from her all the time. 

When my grandmother passed away  May 22nd 2016, I thought I would never hear that phrase ever again. Until my mom received a package in the mail on Wednesday the 6th of May. I thought nothing of it, that it was just a simple ring or necklace. I was wrong. She handed me the pendant upside down, when I flipped it over and read the saying I started to cry. It was the phrase my grandmother always said to me to express how she loves me and my sister. I absolutely love this gift and will make sure it stays safe no matter what. It was not just a gift from my loving mother but a gift from my grandmother in heaven. I love and miss her everyday and now I have a perfect reminder that she watches over me and shows her love.

God is in Control

As we all go back to normal regarding everything with Covid. Things are changing in many different ways as well. So I have my own job, car and getting to be more independent. Yesterday I was told there is a probability of my family moving to a different home. Its scary to think of leaving the home we're in now and then going somewhere else. But God is in control and I have faith that we will get thru it together. Its been a struggle with everything else in my world. But I am 100% curtain that God will give us what we need and provide us with everything. He is in control and He is good in all things!

First Solo Couples Session!!

Image
I am so excited and proud of myself regarding what I got to do this last Monday!! I have always wanted to be a photographer and I'm slowly learning the ropes and hopefully in the future being a locally known photographer here in Rio/ABQ. Its been so much fun learning and being apart of an amazing way to show creativity and memories.  This last Monday was my very first solo session. I took a friend of mine and her boyfriend to the Alameda Open Space to take some cute and amazing couple photos. I was so nervous regarding I always assisted on sessions never actually taken photos. So when we got there I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction but that wasn't anything I couldn't handle.  After fixing that little situation we went into the bosque.. I was so nervous and slightly unprepared for the poses I wanted to do. I looked slightly like an idiot but once I got into things it just flowed the rest of the afternoon. It was fun being able to capture some goofy/romantic moments betwee...

Got a Job!!!

Image
I can't believe I actually have a job! I mean I always knew someday I would but I never thought it would happen because of a pandemic happened in the country!  Let me explain a bit more if you're new to reading my lovely blog. First sorry for not posting for like I think two weeks I've been well bored, nothing interesting has happened and I don't wanna bring too much negative to this.  So a bit of a side note really quick here.... All lives matter and Black lives are the ones that are targeted the most. Even though its not like it was in past history but they still have to live differently than I do a young 22yr old white woman. I have many friends that are of color and are amazing humans. I also have friends who are amazing and wonderful cops also. Do we have some corrupt people in uniform of course but we have corrupt people almost everywhere. So be kind to each other and love each other like God loves us.  Now on to the real topic of the post. So since things have be...
