**PAIGE DEMPSEY**

My little cousin Paige is a senior this year....she's been asking me to take her senior pictures for months. I was totally excited to do it! :) [even though she can be a little turd at times...i guess i still love her!] haha

Apparently I like stitches!

So I had surgery on the 9th. Same thing that was in my hand but in my foot, and no, I didn't have any toes amputated.  :)  Here are a few pictures.  Hope it doesn't make anyone throw up.  I cant seem to not take pictures of things like this.  :)

I was driving down the street the other day and this lady was walking home from work down the feeder road.  I wanted to stop and pick her up.  Then logic set it and told me not to.  Why not?  Fear.  The fear that's been put into this world to make you not even able to pick up a nice looking person and drive them 2 miles.  Stupid fear.  

I was also talking with a good friend the other day about how our past is so important in our lives.  How even without it, we wouldn't be where we are today.  How if you look back on your life, things are so important.  I can name the significant things in my life that made it what it is today.  That got me to where I am today.  And even as painful as those things have been, I am thankful for them.  

"Don't let your past control your future, but let it be a part of it."

i love my peeps

I love living in a college town. I love being surrounded by people who lift me up and not tear me down. I LOVE having such a variety of friends that I know will help me out with anything [trust me, I've tested that theory]. I would do anything for these people and I know the favor would be returned. I have never experienced "college life" until last year. Now I cant imagine things any differently.

Thank you guys for letting me practice my photography on you!

These pictures for some reason look a little hazey, but you can go here to check out the originals.
