{A Full Weekend}

Normally, I have busy weekends but this one was exhausting! It started out with a trip downtown after work to pick up hubby’s race packet. We totally forgot about all the things that were going on this weekend….the Art’s Festival, OKC Thunder Playoffs, and the OKC National Memorial Marathon to name a few. Needless to say, we spent 30 minutes trying to find a place to park and another 15 walking to the place we needed to go. Oh yeah, and I was wearing heels too because when we left downtown, we were headed to a Sunday School party. I. Was. Not. A. Happy. Camper.

Saturday, was a birthday party and dinner with family (my grandpa was in town). Saturday, I actually took some pictures.

Here’s the birthday girl and her Mom & Dad.Family of 3-WMDo you think these two are related?  :)

After a carb loaded dinner with family Saturday night, we got up at 4am Sunday morning to head back downtown so hubby could run his first 5K at the OKC Memorial Marathon. I was so proud of him! He and all the other runners/walkers totally inspired me to participate in the next one (although I may have to start out doing the Kid’s race. LOL)

Isn’t he a cutie?!

If you haven’t visited the OKC Bombing Memorial, I highly recommend it. Every time I go, I am deeply moved. There are just no words to explain the feelings you get when you walk through it.

So, there’s my weekend in a nutshell. I’m so glad I took off work today….not doing much except laundry.

Hope everyone has a great week! Come back tomorrow because I will be revealing Diana’s Tutti Fruiti project!

{A Walk in the Park}

Yesterday, the hubs and I went to the park to run (actually, he runs and I walk). Since I now seem to be obsessed with my camera, it went with me (that sucker is heavy!). Now, remember back to Monday’s post when I talked about shooting in manual mode? Well, I used manual here too……….and learned an important lesson. You must check your ISO before shooting or your pics will come out overexposed (I had it set at 2000! Mental note: Always pay attention to the details)! Any who, some of the pics turned out ok but I ended up having to do a little bit of editing.

When I started my walk, it was pretty sunny. I love this first shot of the sun coming through the tree. Love the starburst affect that I managed to get!

Then it got cloudy.

When I got home, I went out into our field and snapped some pics of the Indian Paint Brushes before they got mowed down. They come up every year and I love the color it adds to our landscape but unfortunately, they are considered weeds so they get mowed down.  :(
