As Told By Snowy

Well, it came and went. Just like that. Overnight I gained another year. I can't believe how close "25" is. Only one more year. Well, here are the highlights of my day according to Snowy (my iPhone).

Of course I started proclaiming my day at midnight Central Standard Time because that's the time I was born into, and to me, its the only time that matters.

Feelin' The Gloom

From what I here, the state fair brings along with it the nice gloomy, rainy, prepare for the cold, pre-winter weather. This made me VERY sad. Fall is my favorite season, and here, surrounded by the beautiful greenery, I was anticipating the change in the leaves. I envisioned myself running through a field of vibrant reds and burnt oranges with the sun shining down and a backdrop of mountains lined with beautiful yellow trees. Well, if I were to try that i'd probably end up wet, sick and covered in mud. Unfortunately, the weather is not doing fall justice.

Since we have been tight on money, I decided to take Handsome's 1-year photo's myself. I wanted to take advantage of nature so I kept my eye on the weather to get at least one day of sunshine in before his birthday to get good pictures. I noticed one day only had a small chance of rain until 2pm so, I rounded up the Fancy Man and we headed out. We took the pics in an area called Hatcher's Pass. It's up the mountains following along a beautiful little river coming down from the mountain. 

Here's a few of our finished products.
