Real Life

Because we sold my car, I took a tiny piece of that and bought myself a new camera. I'm not great at using it yet, but I'm having fun with it and just taking pictures around the house.

The truth is, these aren't perfect, and I'd probably never frame most of them, but they are real life -- the parts that usually are cut out of pictures or deleted, and the parts that make our life great.

Sometimes our eyes are closed, or we are making funny faces, or the lighting isn't quite right. Sometimes we aren't wearing pants. But that's what makes our lives worth holding onto.
