<br />
i was upset i didn't think of taking pictures the whole time i was home. i guess there's always next time... <br />

<br />
i took this pictures at night with my blackberry which seriously takes better pictures than my actual camera. ohh the adventures of new & improved technology! it's sad that my camera isn't even that old and it's <strong>that </strong>out-dated. haha!<br />

<br />
<strong>bright, bold and beautiful.</strong><br />
<br />
i'm going to dedicate this blog to one of my best friends, Krista Lynn who i lost due to a tragic event when i was a junior in high school. i pray that no one goes through the experience i had to go through, but unfortunately it happens. life happens. <br />
<br />
when i visit krista's grave, i always leave sunflowers because she was a bright, bold and beautiful person. she always made me happy and she called me "sunshine" which is very often paired with the color <strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;">yellow</span></strong>. (duh) ;) <br />
<br />
everyone knows sunflowers are my favorite flower, so my sister sent these to me at work to tell me how much she appreciated me. i am so blessed to have a sister like her. i am blessed to have met krista and have the memories we shared together.<br />
<br />
In Loving Memory of KLA: Always Loved. Never Forgotten. <3 <br />

<br />
for some weird reason i enjoy the goth-like pictures. so don't judge me. haha!<br />

<br />
well my bad peeps. give me some time to adjust lol.<br />
<br />
ive always loved quotes and i feel that some of the best quotes come from a sweet little cookie you get after eating chinese food... fortune cookies. sometimes you crack open the cookie delight to be disappointed with what it has to say, but there are other times you crack it open to find a truthful fortune. im actually kind of "lucky" when it comes to fortunes especially the times i receive them.. which is weird in its own little way.<br />
<br />
during my 3pm munchie time at work, i found a stash of fortune cookies and found a great fortune that spoke so true to me especially at this point in my life. so i snapped a couple pics.<br />

sunsets are one of my favorite things and make some of the best pictures. it is ashame that most cameras dont have the capability of capturing the sunsets true beauty; however, since i moved to a new area of columbus last year, ive actually been able to capture some of the prettiest sunsets with my blackberry! i have never seen sunsets like the one i posted below, until i moved here. ever since last april, these sunsets are almost every evening. the reds, pinks and purple-ish hues are truly amazing.<br />

<br />
i started bartending at a local bar and last night was my first night. i only worked for five hours but in those five hours i would have had about two to three chapters of my first book written.. "stories of a bartender." okay, im not writing a book but that'd be a good idea huh?<br />
<br />

anyway, as i was mixing and pouring the different colored drinks into different shaped glasses, i couldn't help but to think these drinks would make great photographs. <br />

<br />
that statement is my justification for my obsession with shoes.<br />
<br />
i dont know too many ladies that arent overly obsessive with shoes. i have about three totes full, plus a hanging shoe organizer at home. i just cant seem to part ways with my shoes. when the time comes, i have seperation anxiety as if i wear the shoes that have been collecting dust the last two years all the time. dont judge me. you know you do it too.<br />
<br />
i truly believe, clothes are just accessories... not the shoes.<br />
<br />
so for all you shoe lovers out there, this blog is for you. i received this picture from a friend who is opening a new a&f in paris. yes, paris. <br />

7am: as my sister, pops and i walk from the hotel to the start line, crowds of pink fill the streets. people with pink wigs, pink tshirts, pink jackets, pink ribbons and bows. even dogs were dressed in little pink tutus. ill be honest, im not a fan of the color pink; however, you best believe i had my pink sweats on. (which are actually my sisters lol)<br />
<br />
as the crowd begins to gather around the start line and we say our good lucks and goodbyes to my sister, i began to look around at the excitement and happiness of the people im surrounded by. everyone was so proud to be there... <br />
<br />
8am: the gun goes off and my dad and i are quickly welcomed with the breeze from the 1200 some runners. as im recording the beginning of the race, it's not surprising that i finally felt what everyone else was feeling. [inspiration]<br />
<br />
8:23am: we finally see my sister coming up the last stretch, pushing as hard as she can and i couldnt help but become overwhelmed with emotion. it was mixed feelings galore so im not quite sure how to explain it... but it was amazing.<br />
<br />
she finished her race with a time of 24:18 which beat her personal best of 25:33. she came 11th in her age group and 200 something out of 1200 'timed' runners. it was awesome. <br />
<br />
i looked through my pictures that i had snapped during the event and came across my best picture yet. id be interested to hear your interpretations of this picture after you look at it.<br />
