Wow!

Sorry that I've been M.I.A. for so long. I haven't felt much like taking any 'real' photos for a long time, but I'm going to try to get back into it and posting regularly here on my blog :) Last night, I spent a looooooooooooong time doing a blog makeover here. I'm still not finished yet but I do have to say it looks a LOT better than what I had on here previously!

Here's a small photo collage to hopefully hold you over until I'm able to edit/add some more. I promise it won't be *too* long of a wait <3

Even MORE.... I know you're excited!

Here are some from when our electric came back on and we returned home. My camera's battery died and I couldn't find the charger (found it yesterday though, yay!) so I had to use my S3 IS. Which is nice because I could zoom in a lot farther since I don't have a long zoom for my dslr YET (!!), but you can notice the quality is much different from one camera to the other.

I couldn't get the memory card to load the photos onto my computer so I plugged it into my husband's laptop and they worked there. So these are all SOOC because I don't have Photoshop on his computer. I had to resize and watermark in Paint *ha, ha*

And please remember that all of these (and most of the others) were taken from inside. I'm battling a cold and wasn't able to venture out like I wanted, but did take a few from my husband's papaw's porch.

Oh yeah, and before I stop rambling on and on.. the majority of the following images are going to be HUGE because I couldn't resize right with Paint! Man, I love Photoshop *sigh*

A few more from the storm.

Lights Out {Snow & Ice Storm}

Brr... our electric went off yesterday morning thanks to all of the snow and ice that covered us. So we had to bundle up our two tiny ones and make it down our driveway and next door to my husband's papaw's house so we could use his wood burner.

They started out saying it'd be turned back on by noon tomorrow but then started saying that it'd be February 4th before it'd happen. Thank God that they worked and got it on today! I am so happy to be home!

Our county has been declared a state of emergency because over 65% are/were without power. So please just keep EVERYONE that is being affected by this, no matter where they are, in your thoughts and prayers.

I have a million photos to share but we havent been home very long and these are the only two I've edited so far.
