Welcome 2014

2014 is in full swing and I haven't stopped long enough to just sit down and get some thoughts together for the year..so here goes.  It happens to be my one year of blogging mark! I started blogging this time last year, but was pretty lousy at it and had to completely redo my blog half way through the year. I'm going to try to be better at taking time to really enjoy my blog this year. I love the little community i've found through doing swaps and links.  I didn't really make any resolutions this year. I did however bookmark some thoughts and ideas on Pinterest that reflect the way I want to look at this year...
                                                                     So Welcome 2014
I know there will be some good and some bad, but mostly I hope that through whatever this year brings I remember to truly LIVE this life and make wonderful memories.

 Not always my first instinct so I want to embrace this more in 2014

This year I want to take time for all of those little things that sometimes get pushed aside

 I want to travel to atleast one new place.

 I want to make memories and capture them in photos and record them here, but yet at the same time not focus on that so much that I actually miss the moment itself. Sometimes enjoying a moment means putting the cellphone down. Every good moment doesn't have to be on Instagram.

I want to take more time for reading. I'm currently reading the Divergent series....I'm only a few chapters in, but it's great so far!


Here are a few shots of the start of my 2014! 

 "Greens picking" with my grandmother one saturday and of course I couldn't resist snapping a few blog worth photos
