Little Bit of Detail

I had a bit of time to shoot around the house on Thanksgiving day and this is what I ended up with. Enjoy and Happy Monday! –B

Full of Thanks

I have so much to be Thankful for today and every day in fact. God has truly blessed my life. And lately day by day he is opening my eyes wider and wider to just how much he loves me, cares for me, and desires my love in return. However, on this day specifically.... I'm counting my blessings and naming them one by one!

Numero Uno: Football in the A.M.

One of the Salemites many traditions is to wake up bright and early, rain or shine, warmth or friged tempatures and play in the Mighty Turkey Bowl! So, I'm blessed to have so many friends that make the time to come together on a holiday and play a rousing game of flag football. What could possibly be better?

Numéral Deux: Pumpkin Pie.

That yummy homemade goodness topped with some sweet awesome whipped cream. Many a pies have been made in this pie pan. It belonged to my great-grandmother.

Novero Tre: Family

I love my family. I love each member for different reason but I'm thankful for their love, support, and loyalty most of all. My little sister is my bestest friend. And she humors me even when I want to take a bazillion and one pictures of her because the lighting is oh so swaaweet!

Now, I welcome you to the Meggie Budda Show!:

Next we have me and my mama: (that's right, we know how to work the camera!) And of course ma daddy!

(1: Spanish, 2: French, 3: Italian)

Modesitts: Anytime

I had so much fun taking these pictures. But then again, these guys always make me laugh. It was a pretty fun day even though Chad fell out of a tree, upside down, landed on his head and in the process knocked Laura Lee down and then both rolled down the embankment. It was quite Hi-larious! However, I withheld the laughter until LL started crying she was laughing so hard so I knew everyone was okay.

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Sorry it has taken me so long to get them to you. (No, Chad its not because they're awful. You guys look awesome!) But I wanted to make a movie/slide show type thing with them for you to look at them and I wanted a specific song that Laura Lee has said many times that she just loves. However, then when I listened to the CD I forgot which one it was. So you get to see the pics twice with two different songs!! :)

While this is not going to be my "Thanksgiving: What I'm thankful for" post, I am most definitely thankful for these two. They are probably some of the best friends a girl could ask for!

Thanks for being patient guys!

Love -B Swish!

Happy Wednesday!

It seems to be the little things that make me happy. I was talking to my WV Uncovered partner yesterday about how I love to take this alternate walkway on my walk to class because it’s always so much better in all ways. First of all, there are much less people to dodge as I walk the super sonic speed that my father has trained me to walk in since I was able to put on foot in front of the other. Secondly, and my favorite part, is that this walkway goes under tons of huge trees which shed leaves in the fall. I was telling my partner how I go out of my way to take this path because guess who gets happy when those fallen leaves crunch underneath her tiny ballet flats!?! The sound of the leaves mixed with the sight of their vibrant colors and fally smell just makes me happy inside. So here are some pictures that I took the other day! I hope you enjoy them! Have a wonderful Wednesday…..-B

Dancing In Your Light

It has been such a long time since I've blogged and I have so much to catch up on. But these past couple of days it seems like I've had a chance to listen to KLove a lot. And I'm so thankful for the chance.... and I have found that I love this indie artist, JJ Heller. She's awesome and you should totally check her out http://www.myspace.com/jjhellermusic. Here are one of the many songs that she sings that have spoken to my heart. But this one is one that really got me tonight!
Its called Only Love Remains.
Enjoy..... ~B

Scenes of you come rushing through
You are breaking me down
So break me into pieces
That will grow in the ground
I know that I deserve to die
For the murder in my heart
So be gentle with me Jesus
As you tear me apart

Please kill the liar
Kill the thief in me
You know that I am tired of their cruelty
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains

You burn away the ropes that bind
And hold me to the earth
The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth
I begin to see reality
For the first time in my life
I know that I’m a shadow
But I’m dancing in your light

Teach me to be humble
Call me from the grave
Show me how to walk with you upon the waves
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains
