*le drumroll*

about five minutes after posting this, my mom called my sister and i downstairs. after scrambling down the steps in hope of finding a package with our new camera, my mom told us to go wash the dishes for dinner. we groaned and went about our chore. but before we reached the sink, i noticed something. my sister did, too.
it was a package.
the package.
(my mom didn't really need washed dishes. :P)
we hugged and danced and hugged s'more. (well, almost.) then we tore open the package and there lay Alexandra Marie, or Alexis for short. that, my friend, is our wonderful nikon d5100 and 35mm f/1.8G lens. we submitted the battery and memory card into their slots and switched the on button.
and on it turned. :)
now for the photos .... (we took more than 100 in an hour. *le sheepish grin*)

i took all of the above.

that's all for now! :)

fiction friday - 5

"daddy." she whispered into his wool sweater, inhaling the scent that would be gone for a long time. no matter that the wool made her itch. her tears ran over cheeks, washing away what she thought was happiness. "daddy. don't leave me, daddy ... don't go ... "

"daddy, where are you ... i need you ... they say you're gone, but i know the truth. you're somewhere out there. but where, daddy, where are you?" she screams silently.

"daddy, daddy! oh, daddy, you're here ... daddy ..." the rest was washed away with a sob as everything good was swept back into her life.

happy & sad

happy about:
-these stuff
-borrowing an old film camera (that is really awesome and works perfectly)
-BUBBLE WRAP
-air conditioning
-starting a journal

sad about:
-having to wait till early next week for the camera
-molly and emily (the AGs) moving into the archives
-change (i'll leave it at that)
-boredness
-not being able to meet up with awesome kiddos --(okay, they're not really kids, but i like that word and i'm never able to use it and sound normal.)-- cuz they're miles and miles away...

xoxo,
