Project 30

Over the last few years, I've had several friends do a "Project 365" where they take a photo each day to capture their day-to-day life. Recently a friend decided to do a "Project 30" and post a photo each day for 30 days, to capture something that is of importance to making the most of life.

I loved that idea, so decided to do it to!

So, for the month of April, I'm taking a photo every day that represents something important, of note or significance to me.

On Sunday, April 1st, we spend time with my in-laws. They've been out of town for two months, so it had been quite a while since Anna had seen her "papa." She was so moved to see him. She squealed and ran to him, then spent most of the time with them snuggling with him. He even remarked that he'd like to see her face, but since she'd been snuggled in so deep, he hadn't really had a chance!

The photo below, my first for "Project 30" is baby girl snuggling with her Papa. Grandparents are so special.



This second photo was the only one I took yesterday. I hadn't yet decided to do this project, so when I looked through my phone pictures, I found just one from yesterday. And it was (clearly) taken accidently! But, it was taken as I rushed from my office to my car. As my work day nears an end, I am always filled with an "I get to go see my girl!" electricity! I love heading her way. This moment, the frenzy of finishing up the day, rushing to the car and racing with the rest of the rats is part of my life right now and the reward at the end of that day is so, so sweet!

This third photo is of the blossoms on a dogwood tree in our yard. On our wedding day, Michael and I noted how beautiful all of the blooming trees were at the chapel where we were married. That church had a beautiful white dogwood in front of it, and we loved it. A few months later, we found a sad, dying dogwood in Lowe's at the end of the season. It was dirt cheap, so we grabbed it, figuring we could try to give it some TLC and hopefully get a beautiful tree that reminded us of our wedding day every time we looked at it.

Well, it's the "little tree that could" and it's really doing well! This year, the blossoms are very early and particularly pretty. I'm so proud of our little tree.
