for steph

On November 13, 2008, baby Evan Alexander Athre was born. 6 lbs, 15 oz. On that day, our family forever changed. We joined together to celebrate the newest addition. The first grandchild. A little bundle of joy. My very first nephew. I can't wait to meet him!!

I feel that Harry Connick, Jr. said it best:

Now my heart is music
Such a simple song
Sing it again, the notes never end
This is where I belong

Just the sound of your voice
The light in your eyes
We're so far away from yesterday
Together with a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile
- "with a wink and a smile"

This is My Town, nah nah nah nah nah

FotoFriday: This is My Town, nah nah nah nah nah

My heart skips a beat everytime I land in this great city: Fort Worth, Texas. My Town. It’s all so familiar. The faces, the stories, the drive, the weather. The best of my college days, the trials of my first real job, sitting in the back of a cop car almost getting arrested – yes, these memories and more swell my heart with each return to this town. My Town.

Foto Friday: Use Protection

FotoFriday: Use Protection

in this day and age, it's risky to be unprotected.

the beginnings of FotoFriday

I've gotten a little away from the photography thing lately. Mainly because I'm having trouble finding time to breathe, let alone process and upload photos. And honestly, that's a little tragic. I just got myself a new camera, a new city, new accessories for my pup and a brand new batch of inspiration.

That all changes this fall with the beginning of Foto Friday.

Here are the specifics:
what:
a new photo every week of whatever I want.
it can be an original photo (recommended) or a photo that I found and wanted to share (with permission only).
when:
every Friday
where:
photos will be posted online on my blog, on flickr, on vox, twitter, and a print version will be on display in my cube.
I'll probably also include a link on Facebook (link forthcoming), and myspace.
why:
because i'm inspired.
